Youth Mermaids

This program is for any swimmer who would like to gain experience with a mermaid monofin while learning mermaid swimming safety and having fun. This is open to swimmers age 7+ who have completed Red Cross Swim Level 5, or are able to swim unassisted 50m in the pool and are comfortable in deep water. Swimmers will perform a mermaid routine for the Spring Water Show to show off what they have learned. A Mermaid Swim Test must be passed in order to join the program; this will typically be held on the first day of class. Please submit registration prior to the first class session so that your swimmer is registered for the Swim Test.

NOTE: A minimum of 3 participants are necessary to run the program. There will be no classes October 31st, December 16th to January 3rd, or March 31st to April 4th.

Team Clothing Requirements:

Artistic swimming is a team sport and the GP Synquatics Club has required team clothing. Dressing uniformly instills a sense of unity and pride amongst the swimmers at both the recreational and competitive levels. When swimmers participate in club activities inside and outside of the pool, they represent the Grande Prairie Synquatics Club in all they do. We want the public to be able to identify the girls in their activities to help promote and applaud them. A club t-shirt is included with your registration. A variety of clothing with our logo will also be available for you to purchase at the beginning of the season. The link will be posted on our website and Facebook pages.
