Our Programs
|
Calgary Elite Synchro offers programs for all abilities. We have a pre-competitive and a competitive stream which has two streams, Provincial and National. Most of the training is at the Brookfield Residential YMCA at Seton pool, as well as Repsol Sport Centre (formally Talisman Centre). The competitive season runs from the end of August until mid-June. Our pre-competitive program runs in shorter intervals throughout the year, and is a great way for young swimmers to try the sport. Calgary Elite's programming aligns with Synchro Canada's Long-Term Athlete Development Framework. We currently offer programming for Stages 1-4. Are you unsure which program is right for your swimmer? Program descriptions are below, but you can also send any questions to our Head Coach, Jan Debney, at headcoach@calgaryelitesynchro.com.

2020/2021 REGULAR SEASON COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS
10 & Under
Our 10 & Under program typically runs 2 times per week for a total of 4.5 hours. This program is for girls new or returning to the sport and who want to take on a little more than what is offered in the pre-competitive programs. As with all other program levels, the athletes will develop a new set of skills, through activities in and out of the pool. You can expect your swimmer to learn skills appropriate to a beginner athlete as well as a routine suited for their level. This is often the first full competitive season and a big thrill for our athletes. While the butterflies may exist, our swimmers get to experience performing in front of judges and large audiences with the support of our dedicated coaching team.
11 - 12 Age Group Competitive Team (Click HERE for Program Details)
The 11 - 12 program is for swimmers that have previous experience with synchronized (artistic) swimming or are strong swimmers. The athletes in this program swim 3 times per week and participate in a weekly ballet lesson. Our 11 - 12 swimmers are introduced to challenging workouts and attention to detail is stressed. Tight bonds between team members, based on months (if not years) of working together, start to yield significant results. You can expect that your swimmer will be teaching you a thing or two in the pool!
13 - 15 / 16 - 20 Age Group Competitive Provincial Team (Click HERE for Program Details)
The Competitive Provincial program is for experienced synchronized (artistic) swimmers who want to stay involved. Athletes in this program swim 2 times per week and take a ballet class once per week. The program focus is on precision in routines, figures and athleticism. You can expect that your athlete will be swimming laps around you!
13 - 15 / Junior National Team (Click HERE for Program Details)
The 13-15 / Junior (16-18) National Age Group program is in the water 4 times per week. Athletes in this National Stream program are on track to become top national athletes in their age groups. Athletes are perfecting their performance through ballet and flexibility training in conjunction to their hours in the pool. You can expect National Stream athletes to be swimming laps long after most of us need a break!
