Competitive Artistic Swimming (Ages 8 and up)
This program is for swimmers interested in the challenge of a competitive sport. Swimmers continue to develop their skills while competing at the provincial level. Competitions take place in 2 parts: individually in figures and as part of a team in routine. Figures are individual structured movements. Team scores are made up of individual scores plus the scores the team receives during their routine performance. Swimmers practice several times per week and compete regionally and provincially at 2-3 competitions per year. The practice times and days depend on the team level. Team levels are based on the Synchro Ontario standards with team ages 10 and under, 11-12, 13-15, and 16+. Specific uniform and Star Level requirements depend on the team. Each year specific meets are attended based on a decision by the head coach and parent advisory group. Some of the meets attended in the past are the Lisa Alexander Meet, Ontario Winter Games, Regional Meet, Age Group Championships (Provincial), and Trillium Meet. There is the opportunity for solo, duet, and team routines.
If you would like to be considered for this category and would like to be evaluated, please contact the club.
REGISTRATIONS ARE CLOSED for the season.
