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 Gray Family Eau Claire YMCA pool downtown, as well as Repsol Sport Centre (formally Talisman Centre). The competitive season runs from the end of August until mid-June. 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, Kim Hurtig, at headcoach@calgaryelitesynchro.com.

U8 Developmental Team
Our Developmental program runs has two options available: 1x per week (Fridays) or 2x per week (Fridays & Sundays). This program is great for girls new to the sport, and are aged 8 and under. Here the athletes will work on developing swimming fundamentals and core synchro skills, through activities in and out of the pool. This is a great transition for the girls from recreational to competitive.
10 & Under/Novice Team
Our Under 10 & Novice program 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, and are over 8 years of age. 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 daughter 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 girls get to experience performing in front of judges and large audiences.
12 & Under Competitive Team
The Under 12 program runs 3 times per week including dryland training. Compared to our 10 & Under athletes, our 12 & unders are introduced to more challenging workouts and attention to detail is stressed. Tight bonds based on months, if not years, of working together, start to yield significant results. You can expect that your daughter will be teaching you a thing or two in the pool!
13 to 15 Provincial Level Team
The Provincial Age Group program runs 3 times per week. Athletes in the 13-15 Provincial Level program are beginning to focus on precision in their routines, figures and athleticism. You can expect that your daughter will be swimming laps around you.
13 to 15 National Level Team
The Provincial Age Group program runs 5 times per week. Athletes in the 13-15 National Level program are on the track to becoming top national athletes in their age group. Athletes in this program are perfecting their performance through strength training, flexibility training in conjunction to their hours in the pool. You can expect that your daughter will have left you in her wake.
