NATIONAL STREAM & HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAM

Our National program is designed to provide swimmers with the opportunity to train with world class coaches at a national level while balancing the desires of youth to balance sport with life.

National Stream coaches have a clear set of standards that must be met to swim at this level. Athletes are considered for the Target Athlete Program (TAP). They might train 14 to 20+ hours each week. Competitions include at least 5 meets each year, national qualifiers and Canadian Championships as well as the opportunity to train and compete internationally.

Extra Routines

Extra routines are offered to athletes based on need and are limited based on pool space and coach availability. We invite anyone interested in an extra routine to indicate their preference on their Expression of Interest form with the understanding that this does not mean you/your athlete will be given an extra routine. All expressions of interest will be reviewed by the Leadership Team.

Note: An athlete’s age when registering for artistic swimming is the age they will be December 31st of the year the season finished.  For example for the 2023-2024 season, it is the athlete’s age December 31st, 2024.

Common questions

When are team selections?

Team selections will be in September/October. Team selection may be based on a testing protocol communicated at the start of the season. Judges and coaches may be used to evaluate the athletes. It will include, but not be limited to: artistic swimming skills, ability to perform the higher level skills identified in the new difficulty system, flexibility, strength, endurance, speed, coachability, leadership, work ethic, etc. Team cohesiveness also plays an important role at this level.

Registration for the National Stream program does not guarantee team placement, athletes need to demonstrate the skill and attitude required for this program. Athletes unable to meet the required standard will be offered a position on the Youth/Junior provincial team.

Attendance is mandatory at all practices. As of January 2024 (main competitive season), no absences will be allowed unless there is injury, illness or bereavement.

Duet and solo practices are additional to team practices. This is an optional program, with an additional cost. The duet/solo selection process will be communicated in September.

Programs will include pool and dryland sessions. Dryland sessions may include (but are not limited to) flexibility training, strength, ballet, gymnastics, team landrill, sports psychology, etc
