PROVINCIAL STREAM by invitation
ALL REGISTRATION NOW OPEN (summer training & 2022/23 season)
This is for returning competitive athletes or those who have been assessed by our coaches and invited to join our competitive program by our head coach.
A competitive team is the next step up and is designed for swimmers who want to build their basic skills, work as a team, swim routines, and compete. This program is suggested for those that have already accomplished basic artistic swimming skills. .
The first level of competitive artistic swimming is the Provincial Stream. Athletes work individually and as a team on achieving personal bests, they compete within the province.
Team structure in the Competitive Stream is based on age groupings, the age groups for this stream are: 10& Under, 11/12, 13-15, and 16-20
Athletes will participate on teams, duets, solos or a combination of above at the coach's discretion. The training hours depend on the age group and amount of routines. In this stream they will work on further developing the skills learned in the recreational program and on learning as many artistic swimming specific skills as possible, including flexibility, strength, and speed development. Swimmers are encouraged to participate in gymnastics and dance outside of artistic swimming practices.
