Competitive Artistic Swimming
The Competitive program is for swimmers who want to compete in Artistic Swimming Competitions. Coaches will help their swimmers learn and improve figures, physical fitness, and routines for competitions according to their age group. This upcoming season the competitive swimmers will participate in the 2024 Alberta Winter Games. They will also perform their routines at our Winter and Spring Water Shows.

TEAM CLOTHING REQUIREMENTS
Artistic swimming is a team sport and the GP Synquatics Club has required team clothing. Dressing uniformly instills a sense of unity and pride amongst the swimmers at both the recreational and competitive levels. When swimmers participate in club activities inside and outside of the pool, they represent the Grande Prairie Synquatics Club in all they do. We want the public to be able to identify the girls in their activities to help promote and applaud them.
A variety of clothing with our logo will also be available for you to purchase at the beginning of the season. The link will be posted on our website and Facebook pages.
