Your Support Matters

Description

The Artistic Swimming Club (formerly known as Synchronized Swimming) accommodates both competitive and novice-level swimmers who wish to compete at the university level in 2 or 3 annual competitions.

Experienced artistic swimmers have the opportunity to continue a sport they love at a fun and manageable level. Novice team members have the opportunity to learn a new sport right from the basics.

We practice hard but also have loads of fun within our supportive and inclusive community! See below for additional information about practices, contact information, social media links and more!
