About the Masters Program

GO Capital Artistic Swimming Club’s Masters program is designed for swimmers over the age of 18. Our Masters swimmers include athletes who compete at the international, national, and provincial levels (competitive program), as well as those who are learning artistic swimming for the first time (recreational program).

Our goal is to have fun and stay fit in a program that offers both Recreational and Competitive artistic swimming training options. The program provides a great opportunity for our "retired" provincial and national level swimmers to reunite and continue to swim in a sport they remain passionate about. If you love the water and are looking for something beyond swimming laps, artistic swimming may be just the thing for you!
