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.

10 & Under (Click HERE for Program Details)
Our Under 10 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. 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 with the support of our dedicated coaching team.
