Jean Peters started the club with just seven swimmers and learned on the job, being solely responsible for all coaching, financial management and administrative duties.
When numbers grew, Peters hired coaches and organized volunteers, while earning her level one coaching certificate.
Peters received a Burnaby Chamber of Commerce award for dedication to sport in 1987. Two years later, Caprice sent a masters team to compete internationally in Denmark. By 1990, she had a Caprice team competing in Calgary.
