AquaGO!

Can't get into swimming lessons? Try AquaGO! 

AquaGO! is a nation-wide recreational program from Canada Artistic Swimming. This program is perfect for children who would like to explore the water, and is a great way for them to get introduced to the water in a fun and safe environment! In this program swimmers will progress through 6 different levels and receive rewards for their progress. Each lesson will have a land and water portion, and will include skills from the four pillars of this program: Swimming Fundamentals, Artistic Swimming Skills, Athletic Abilities (both on land & in the water) and Flexibility. The skills they learn will give them the foundations for any aquatic sport they might choose to try in the future! Swimmers will get all this while making new friends and enjoying the fun aspects of ‘playing’ and ‘dancing’ in the water that comes with the sport of artistic swimming! Swimmers will develop their musicality and creativity, and create a small routine that they will show at one of our club's watershows.

Advanced AquaGO!

This program aligns with the AquaGO! program from Canada Artistic Swimming, and is designed as a building block for individuals interested in our competitive programs for fall 2025. Each class runs for 1.5 hours, and swimmers will learn artistic swimming skills as well as work on flexibility, strength and swimming skills. Our coaches will be experienced with our AquaGO! and competitive programs to help with a smooth transition for the swimmers. Although they do not compete, they do present a small routine at our Watershows and attend the Alberta Artistic Swimming Recreational Event on May 3, 2025 in Red Deer.

This program is designed for swimmer's ages 7-12 who have previous AquaGO! experience or are strong swimmers.
