Artistic Swimming Club

Description

What is artistic swimming?

Artistic Swimming is a sport that blends the athleticism of swimming with the dynamics of gymnastics and the elegance of dance. Artistic Swimmers perform their skills to a choreographed routine in the water as a team, duet or solo which showcases their strength, flexibility and synchronization.

Why should you join the team?

Joining the team is a great way to stay active at school! Artistic Swimming builds endurance, power, speed and flexibility. It also fosters amazing leadership skills, and everlasting friendships between teammates. We aim to include athletes and artists of all genders and backgrounds to participate and contribute to the success of the club.

Non-swimming members can contribute to coaching, choreography, music, video, social media, event management, promotion, suiting design and even sewing. For more information about these opportunities please email us at artisticswimmingclub@groups.uwo.ca

A little more about Western’s Artistic Swimming Club…

We train both in and out of the water as a team. Our in-water practices consist of drills, choreography, and swim endurance training. Members can choose to take part in provincial and national competitions throughout the school year in which they would compete against other university teams.


Please reach out if you have any additional questions, and make sure to follow us on our socials to stay connected about practices and events!

About the President

Hi everyone, my name is Grace Chapman and I am so excited to be the incoming president of Western Artistic Swimming Club for the 2023-2024 academic year! I have been involved in artistic swimming for 12 years, and my love for the sport has not dissipated or waivered during this time. I hope to show everyone at Western how fun and exciting artistic swimming is, regardless of your experience, or lack thereof, with the sport! Please feel free to reach out to me or anyone else on our executive team if you have any questions about our club, and I look forward to getting to know everyone in the fall!
