Provincial Competitive Programs

Aurora Wildrose Competitive teams are organized by skill level, age, and commitment. Teams compete a team routine and figures skills at competitions within the Province. The Edmonton Auroras offer the choice of training two, three or four times per week; choose the program that fits best for you! Because of the technical skills they learn, participants must commit to the minimum training program as per the chart below. To understand more about the different streams, see the Auroras pathways.

Swimmers enjoy team training and competition, including competing in individual figures skills, travelling to out-of-town meets, plus training other aquatic skills like swimming and diving. Swimmers gain a sense of achievement and team work as they have fun.

Registration details and additional fees

Please note the following when registering your child:

• All members will be required to set up an account with RAMP, which you will use to register, pay and view your account invoices
• If you already use the RAMP interface (perhaps through another sport) you will be expanding your profile when you log in, but you do not need to create a new account
• At the time of registration you will need to choose the program you wish to register your child in - for example, Wildrose 3x week, National Stream 13-15, etc.
• Your credit card will be charged $125 (Provincial Stream) or $225 (National Stream) plus $2. The $125 or $225 pays for the registration with Synchro Alberta, and the $2.00 is for the initial charge for the Bingo and meet fees that we all pay come the fall. The $2 will go towards your monthly charge for bingo and meet fees.
• You are required to have a Respect in Sport for Parents certificate number.  If you haven't taken the course yet, click HERE.
