Since incorporating in 1979, we estimate we have trained and jumped with more than 12,000 first-time jumpers. SWOOP'ers have contributed to the writing and testing of the Canadian First Jump FreeFall program now used by the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association (CSPA), and helped write and develop the Progressive Free Fall School used across Canada to develop skills in jumpers new to the sport. SWOOP also has instructors who are members of the CSPA's working comittee (CWC).

Skydive SWOOP is the last remaining skydiving Club in Canada run exclusively by volunteer members. As a non-profit Incorporation, we elect a Board of Directors yearly who administer the club. The BOD and many other volunteers run the entire operation on their own free time. None of us makes our living at SWOOP, we're there only because we love the sport of skydiving, and want to share it with as many others as we can. So remember... be kind to us, we are there to have fun too!

In all our 28 years, SWOOP has never had a fatality and we are very proud of our continuing good safety record. Skydive SWOOP operates on a "Safety First" basis. Please understand, that if we are unable to jump, there is likely a reason for it, such as unsafe weather conditions.
