Competitive – Provincial Stream

Provincial Stream program contains various competitive artistic swimming teams grouped by age and skill. Athletes are grouped with similar age competitors based on their age by December 31 of the competitive year. Athletes are trained in their respective figures, have a team routine to learn, and develop strength and flexibility skills.

First-year athletes have the unique ability to participate in the “Novice” category during meets. This is an opportunity for swimmers to ease into the Competitive world by competing in their Figures and Routines one full level younger than their age dictates.

  • When:
    September – May
    (with winter/spring breaks as per School District 69 schedule)
  • Time Commitment:
    3 times a week
    (two sessions in Qualicum Beach between 1.5 – 2.5 hours/session and Sundays in Nanaimo for 2+ hours). Additional events/meets throughout the season.
  • Prerequisites:
    Previous levels of training are required
    Teams are determined by registration numbers, age and skill at the discretion of coaches.
