If your little one loves to swim but you’re finding it challenging to enroll in swim lessons, our club may be the perfect fit for you. We’re offering a Sunday morning AquaGo! Program this January through March for swimmers who’ve thought about our club and might want to try it before committing to a full season in the fall. Come on out and see what we’re all about. We’re pretty sure your little one will have fun in the pool with us.
You can use this link to register now (instructions below): http://ravensongwaterdancers.rampregistrations.com/
Once you log in, select Particpant.

Next, either add or select your swimmer. Then select ‘Short Term Recreational’ for the Division.

The Sunday AquaGo! Package will be selected by default, then hit Continue.

Please proceed from there.
A new season of artistic swimming is upon us, and we can not wait to get into the pool. We hope your little swimmers are as excited as we are!
Registration can be found via the link below.
We are using the same RAMP registration as we had implemented last season. Unless you are a new member, you will already have an account with RAMP.
Just so you know, you will need to select/sign up for two packages in your swimmer’s appropriate level: the Initial Registration Fee package and the Full Season package. (ie, If your swimmer is in AquaGo!, you will sign them up in both the AquaGo! Initial Registration Fee & AquaGo! Full Season Packages.)
Class times are not yet fully determined as we require the registration numbers and class sign-ups to determine class sizes. We are also limited by pool times and overall pool space (available lanes) and, of course, available coaches. So, we do the best that we can and try to make everyone happy.
Once we confirm some class times, we will update the calendar on the website, you can check this page.
If you are looking to dive right in to all things related to artistic swimming and our governing body BCAS, this is our main guide that we adhere to as a club. Check it out and it may answer many questions you have about the sport. Click here to view or download the PDF.
AquaGo! is a safe, fun, inclusive program that allows swimmers to get a taste of artistic swimming (a.k.a. synchronized swimming). We’re offering a 4-week summer camp in July 2025 for those swimmers looking to try something new.
If your little one loves to swim but you’re finding it hard to get into swim lessons, our club may be right for you. We’re offering a summer camp this July for swimmers who’ve thought about our club and might want to try it before committing this fall.
Come on out and see what we’re all about; we’re pretty sure your little one will have fun in the pool with us.
One of our biggest and most fun fundraisers of the year is the annual swim-a-thon! It is scheduled for Tuesday, January 30th at your child’s regular swim time and a lucky person(s) gets to accompany them poolside to track and cheer them on while the music is playing underwater on the speakers.
Kick off your fundraising efforts by asking your family, friends and co-workers and use the pledge form to keep track of donations. Donations can be made as a lump sum, flat-rate amount OR they can choose to donate per length. The athletes will have one full hour to swim as many lengths as they can (a length is from one end of the pool to the other = 25m; 2 lengths = 1 lap).
While we encourage all our athletes to push themselves, our youngest members may opt to use a flutter board for part of the event. Also, a tracking sheet will be provided at the event for the counters to use to keep track of the lengths.
All children will need to have a volunteer on deck for the duration of the event on Tuesday, January 30th to track the number of lengths they swim.
Pledge sheets, and any funds already collected, can be brought to the event (donations placed ‘by length’ can be collected in the week after the swim-a-thon when the total lengths swam is known) and turned in to a coach, the Treasurer or a Board member.
Things to remember:
Fun Fact:
Coaches track athlete’s results year-to-year to note the improvement.
See you at the pool!
Our club would like to thank the RDN by giving them a shout-out for the grants that they have provided to support our club this season. They contribute BIG TIME to helping us grow our club membership back up to what it used to be pre-COVID! So many clubs and organizations have been struggling due to restrictions and shut downs, and the RDN’s financial help will ensure that we are able to keep our fees to current member families as low as possible while we spread the word about our fun and unique sport!
Thank you!
