President

Francine Vickery

Francine joined the UBC Masters in 1984 (not a typo!). She has swum all her life competitively and for recreation. Her favourite strokes are free and back. For fun she likes to go on swimming vacations in warm places like Turkey and Montenegro and where she was given the moniker "Half Women Half Fish".

She loves swimming in the pool and ocean. The VP is responsible for the wait list and pool rentals outside of the UBC Aquatic Centre. The VP will take on President's duties when President's unavailable.

Treasurer

Adrienne Friesen

Adrienne joined the club in 2023, when she moved from Toronto to Vancouver for her Masters in Food and Resource Economics at UBC. A former UofT collegiate swimmer whose career was cut short by injury, she is now in her self-proclaimed "comeback era" and loves competing in backstroke sprint events.
