Recreational Program (Swordfish)

TASC's Swordfish Recreational program is ideal for girls and boys, 8-12 years old, who love the water and want to learn fun artistic swimming skills in a team environment as they develop swim skills and increase their strength, endurance and level of flexibility.  This program is for kids who have done 1+ year previously (in our Rec program or equivalent).

Program levels and then teams are based on age, experience and skill levels according to the national, Canadian Artistic Swimming (CAS) AquaGO skill development program and LTAD (Long Term Athlete Development) program like other sports. Swimmers progress through the levels as they develop more challenging artistic swimming skills.

All Recreational programs focus on 5 key areas:

• Swimming Fundamentals
• Artistic Swimming Skills
• Athletic Abilities/Physical Literacy
• Flexibility
• Routine performance and teamwork

All swimmers will have the opportunity to swim in a mermaid or shark tail and all programs except our new Mini-session will participate in one or both of our Club Watershows (Dec and June).
