A 10-week learn to swim program introducing Artistic Swimming skills. No experience needed! Open to swimmers aged 5 and above.

This course provides the opportunity for children to join in the fun, develop aquatic literacy and learn what artistic swimming is all about. This program reflects the current science behind long-term athlete development (LTAD) in the sport of artistic swimming, this focusing on developing aquatic literacy as well as providing an introduction to the sport. 

Led by certified instructors/coaches, the program is designed to meet the needs of the children who will find the content fun to learn while participating in a safe and welcoming environment that incorporates a variety of basic physical and athletic skills in and out of the water. Children may use their new acquired skills to advance further in the sport of artistic swimming or may transfer to other aquatic and land-based activities.
