Our Story

Everything Started in 1997

Our artistic swimming club was formed in 1997 with approximately 30 athletes from the Oceanside community. Since then, the club has expanded to welcome members from all over the Oceanside area as well as Nanaimo.

Ravensong Waterdancers is a top-level Provincial Program Artistic Swimming Club (We do not currently offer the National Program) . Our experienced and certified coaches deliver great results while keeping training sessions interesting, varied, and fun! Our programs range from beginner-level swimming lessons to artistic swimming competitions. Programs are appropriate for children, teens, and adults. Our recreational athletes practice at the Ravensong Aquatic Centre in Qualicum Beach and our competitive athletes practice at both the Ravensong Aquatic Centre and the Nanaimo Aquatic Center in Nanaimo.
