Known for its grace and creativity, the CDNDG Artistic Swimming Club welcomes around 30 athletes aged 8 to 16. Artistic swimming combines athletic and artistic skills, creating a unique experience for its members.
Our club offers various recreational and competitive teams to match each athlete’s skill level and commitment. Beyond performance in the water, artistic swimming fosters self-confidence, discipline, and creativity in our members, allowing them to flourish artistically.
We recruit new athletes at the beginning of each session: August/September and January. To become a member of the artistic swimming club, your child must participate in a trial session ($10 per athlete).
During this session, we will assess your child’s comfort level in the water and determine their training group before they register. To be admitted, all athletes must be comfortable swimming in deep water.

These fees range from $20 to $60 per athlete, depending on the training group. For competitive groups, there are also other mandatory fees, such as swimsuits and competition registration fees.
