Competitive
Our Competitive Program
Our Club offers a full competitive program for swimmers aged 7 to 18 years of age, offering excellent coaching, a variety of pool locations and our club’s strong team spirit and sense of community. The majority of our Competitive athletes keep training with us through high school and many become coaches along the way. This program is ideal for the swimmer who wants to LEARN FASTER, DEVELOP FURTHER, and CREATE LASTING FRIENDSHIPS.
Teams compete primarily at the provincial level, usually participating in 3 – 6 meets per year, depending on the age and team. Very experienced athletes on more developed teams may also compete on HP teams at the National level in a variety of provinces.
Competitive athletes have opportunities for extra training as well as extra routines (solo, duet, combo/acrobatic and other teams).
We offer a full range of teams, based on average ‘synchro age’ (age at Dec 31, 2025), including:
- 10/under (born in 2015 or later): developmental and experienced
- 11/12 (born in 2013 or 2014): developmental and experienced
- 13-15 (born in 2010-2012): experienced and HP (depending on interest/assessment)
- Junior (born in 2009 or earlier): experienced and HP (depending on interest/assesssment)
Note: swimmers may be placed on teams with swimmers either slightly younger or older, depending on coach assessment
