Our pre-competitive program is an introduction to team artistic swimming for children ages 5/6 and 7-10 (exceptions may be made by contacting the Head Coach). It's a great way to find out if artistic swimming is right for you! Our pre-competitive program is offered once or twice a week at the Kinsmen Sports Centre. At this point the once a week programming at Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre is on pause as we are trying to get pool time.
Information Booklet from last season to give you an idea of what to expect.
Here are some of the skills swimmers will learn:
- simple and advanced floating
- sculling (using their hands to maneuver through the water)
- positions (moves with the legs out of the water while breathing and upside down)
- eggbeater (moving in all four directions and advancing to arms out)
- going under water and upside down (getting comfortable in the water)
- basic swim strokes and propulsion
- a routine to show to family and friends
- fun in and under the water and with music (we have an under water speaker and the kids can hear music while under water)
There are several options to fit your schedule:
