swimmers will participate in two competitions - one in Grande Prairie and one in Lethbridge. They will also perform their routines at our Winter and Spring Water Shows.

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.
