Regional League
Our Regional League Program
Toronto Artistic Swimming’s Regional League program is designed for those youth swimmers who are looking for a more challenging program than Recreational and want to experience 1-2 competitions, but are only able to swim a limited amount per week. Swimmers compete in the Regional League stream located in the Central/West Region of Ontario.
By training twice per week for 4 hours in total, they will further develop strength, flexibility and artistic swimming skills while they have opportunities to bond as a team and participate in club events and watershows. The program is equally ideal as an entry point for new swimmers or swimmers with some artistic swimming experience.
This is a great way for swimmers aged 7-18 to further hone skills, have a limited competitive experience, but still enable them to participate in a wide variety of extracurricular activities since training is limited to 4 hours per week.
Artistic Swimming Skills
Learn new skills and improve technique through position and figure drills, as well as routine development.
Water Fluency and Swim Training

Athletic Training
Improve strength, endurance, agility and flexibility through extensive on-land training.
