Renowned for its grace and creativity, our Artistic Swimming Club welcomes approximately 30 athletes aged 8 to 16 years. Artistic swimming combines athletic and artistic abilities, creating a unique experience for our members.
Our club offers various recreational and competitive teams to accommodate the skill levels and commitment of each athlete. Beyond performance in the water, artistic swimming nurtures self-confidence, discipline, and creativity in our members, allowing them to flourish artistically.
We recruit new athletes at the beginning of each session: August/September and January. To become a member of the Artistic Swimming Club, your child must participate in a tryout session (cost: $10 per athlete).
During this session, we will assess your child’s comfort level in the water and determine their training group before registration. To be admitted, all athletes must be comfortable swimming in deep water.
