How we help you to develop

Most people think of dancing in the water and sparkly costumes, when they think of Artistic Swimming. While there is movement to music in water (and plenty of sparkles on our costumes) it is much more challenging than it looks.

Artistic Swimmers are some of the most dedicated and highly trained athletes of all the Olympic Sports, due to needing the highest level of fitness, ability to perform both as a team and an individual, advanced flexibility, coordination, artistic expression and extended respiratory capacity and stamina.

Therefore we recommend swimmers start in training as soon as they are able. We take swimmers from the age of 6 and up, as long as they are able to swim 25m unaided, have achieved LTS level 6 (or equivalent) and are confident in deep water.

We strive to support all our swimmers to work towards their own individual goals within the sport. Whether the swimmer is doing it for fun and fitness or as a competitive athlete, we nurture our swimmers to get the best out of their time at the club.
