Artistic Swimming
Participants are divided into pre-junior (age 10 and under), junior (age 13 and under), and senior (age 16 and under) categories. Three to four practice sessions are held per week. Each age group has its own coach who will work with the swimmers to create choreographed individual and group routines, which combine movement in the water with music. To participate in this program, swimmers must be able to tread water for one minute and swim one length of the pool (25 metres) unassisted.
An initiation program, for anyone unable to meet these swimming requirements or a newcomer, is also offered twice a week.
Competitions are hosted at the Northshore Aquatic Association (NAA) pools from late July until mid-August. The season concludes with the ever-popular Dorval Aquatic Week show on Tuesday, August 12, at the Ballantyne Aquatic Centre.
Water Polo
Learn skills such as treading water, ball handling, shooting, and teamwork that make water polo such an exciting and fast-paced sport! Four practice sessions are held per week as well as games on Tuesday evenings. Tournaments will be held over the course of the summer against other teams in the Northshore Aquatic Association (NAA). Details regarding these tournaments will be provided at a later date by the coaches.
Participants must be able to tread water for at least one minute and swim on length of the pool (25 metres) unassisted.
There is also a mini-polo program on weekend mornings that is geared towards children age 8 and under
On Sunday, August 10, both the mini-polo and water polo teams participate in the Dorval Aquatic Festival, at the Surrey Aquatic Centre.
Diving
Participants learn to jump, twist, dive, and even flip off the diving boards. Practice sessions are held four times per week.
Divers compete into the pre-junior (U8), junior (U11), intermediate (U14), and senior (age 15 and over) categories in the weekly Northshore Aquatic Association (NAA) meets, which are held on Thursday evenings.
To participate, divers must be able to jump off the diving board unassisted and swim to the side of the pool.
Those new to this sport, or age 7 and under, can participate in a non-competitive initiation program held twice a week, that focuses on teaching basis skills.
The Dorval Aquatic Week competition on Wednesday, August 13, at the Ballantyne Aquatic Centre, ends the season.
Swimming
On your marks, set, go!
Improve your swimming speed and technique in the four strokes (freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly) under the guidance of our coaches. Practice sessions are held on weekday mornings. Weekend afternoon sessions are also held, especially for those unable to attend practice during the week.
Swimmers compete in five age groups (age 8 and under / ages 9 and 10 / ages 11 and 12 / ages 13 and 14 / age 15 and over) during meets held on Wednesday evenings and several Saturdays against other pools in the Northshore Aquatic Association (NAA).
An initiation program, either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday mornings, is geared towards swimmers age 6 and under who wish to participate but are unable to swim one length of the pool (25 metres) unassisted and need to wear a swim aid.
The season concludes with the Dorval Aquatic Festival swim meet at the Walters Aquatic Centre, on Saturday, August 16. Children age 6 and under, parents (masters), and lifeguards can also participant in this event.
