Welcome to the 60th Annual Mel Zajac Jr. International Swim Meet at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
The Mel Zajac Jr. International Swim Meet was originally founded in 1963 as Canada Cup by legendary swim coach Howard Firby. His vision was to bring elite talent to Vancouver to race local athletes, both to inspire the community and to develop international talent right here at home. The meet has since grown to become a fixture in Canadian swimming and the largest of its kind in Western Canada. The Mel Jr. and Marty Zajac Foundation has generously sponsored the meet since 1998, allowing the event to attract top international talent year after year. The meet is named after Mel Zajac Jr, who was a swimmer on the Canadian National Team and competed for Canada at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. The event provides the unique and enduring opportunity to honour Mel Zajac Jr.’s competitive spirit and love of swimming, reflected in his achievements as part of the Canadian National swim team.
