We also have some KidSport and Jumpstart matching grants for the full day camps.
For safety reasons participants HAVE TO be able to swim 15m unassisted. Could also have participated in AquaGo or another beginner synchro program. Open to girls and boys ages 6-13 years of age. Learn basic artistic swimming skills like eggbeater, going upside down and sculling. Our full day camps combine our regular artistic swim programs with our water ninjas program.
In Canada, many people seem to think artistic swimming is only for girls. That is simply not true. There are many high-level male athletes competing on the world stage. In fact, participating in artistic swimming helps further water skills that other water sports require. We are experts on floating, eggbeater, going upside down and using hands to maneuver through the water. These are all important skills that will give participants an edge in other water sports. In artistic swimming you get to practice many of the skills listed above by using music and creativity. Music can be heard above the water and in the water. Even if you boy does not stay in artistic swimming all kids gain aquatic literacy to transfer to other aquatic sports.
Participants in the full day camps also will work on flexibility on land. Above all, our coaches’ job will be to make sure you child has lots of fun while improving their water skills.
