Competitive Program
Our Provincial-stream competitive program provides swimmers with opportunities to compete regionally and provincially. Our basic principle is that all swimmers train and compete at a level that reflects their individual ability and commitment level. Swimmers at this level are divided into teams or training groups, dependent on the number of swimmers in the program. Routines are specially choreographed by coaches to highlight each swimmer's strengths.
The competitive program begins in September with Saturday sessions at the Rutland Family Y.
Regular practice schedule begins Monday September 24th for the SR group, and Tuesday Sept 25th for the JR group.
