Competitive Programs
Our Competitive program focuses on developing a well-rounded athlete. All competitive teams train two to three times per week – twice during the week, and one weekend day. Our 10 & Under and 12 & Under programs are ideally suited for those athletes who have come through our Recreational and/or Regional (formally called Pre-Competitive) programs and are eager to start competing at the Provincial level within Ontario. Flexibility, ballet, and speed swimming are all part of regular training, in addition to training fundamental artistic swimming skills, figure development and routine training.
All training and competition information will be posted in your TeamSnap calendars as we get the information. We ask that you look over the entire yearly calendar when you receive it so that you are informed. Families can expect to have Thanksgiving weekend off, but will have training on the Saturday of Family Day, Easter and Victoria Day weekends with Sunday and Monday OFF. Due to the proximity to competitions, we cannot give full holiday weekends off during competition season between January and May. Christmas Holidays is OFF (in line with TDSB) and so is March Break.
Please email Amy Bush at headcoach@olympiumartswim.ca, if you would like the handbook, fee document and to arrange a tryout.

Competitive Junior Program (born 2008-2010):
This program will focus on the development and training of a Technical Team. There are no figures in Junior as they are replaced with technical elements within a routine. Athletes will train 3x/week, following the same schedule as the youth team.
Please note: This program will only run if we have the numbers. If we cannot run the program due to low numbers, we will refund 100% of the registration fee. If we cannot run the Junior program and an athlete wishes to be moved back in to youth, we will make every possible effort to find a place for them.
Athletes With Disability (AWD)
This program is designed to meet the individual needs of our AWD athletes. Athletes will be integrated with one of our other teams for training and will develop a solo or duet. Placement is based on experience and skill development.
