Khosro Masuri,

Competition Director

Inspired by the Montreal Olympics, young Khosro began swimming at about age 13. He was most fond of the breaststroke back then, but he now really enjoys backstroke. He now swims in pools, but he also enjoyed lake swimming when he first started swimming.

Most people in MSABC know Khosro as a coach and electronics and timing guru—you’ll find him behind the console at numerous MSABC and age-group meets each season. He began his coaching career many moons ago—before he came to Canada. He moved to Canada in 1990, after spending a short time in Greece. Khosro has been coaching the North Shore Masters for 30 years, and in 2024, he took on the Canadian Dolphin Swim Club’s masters team.

He was welcomed to the MSABC board as Competition Director and has worked tirelessly to publicize the MSABC Meet Calendar well in advance of the season so that swimmers across the province can better plan their swim schedule. He works closely with Meet Managers to ensure the success of their meet. He is always willing to lend a helping hand, which has led to him being twice presented with the MSABC Stan Powell award.
