The Ignite Provincial Program is BCAS's high performance program. Ignite identifies and trains BC athletes with the greatest potential to be members of the BCAS Provincial Team and Canada Artistic Swimming's National Teams. The Ignite Program provides a positive, enriching and focused sport academy environment geared towards training athletes. Training will focus on improving their individual and routine skills.
The Selection Camp for the 2020-2021 Ignite Program will take place on June 5-7, 2020 at the Surrey Sport & Leisure Centre.
The vision of the Ignite Gold Program is to create a training centre focused on Junior and Senior athlete development. Ignite Gold athletes participate in 3-4 weekend training camps between September and January, and on weekends in June, as well as a summer program that includes a competition or choreography camp.
The vision of the Ignite Silver Program is to focus on 13-15 routine and figure development in a training centre environment. Weekend training camps take place approximately 3-4 times between September and January, as well as a summer camps. The Ignite Silver program may form a team to compete in the SYNC competition.

In 2016, BC Artistic Swimming hosted its first Train to Train (T2T) camp as a three-hour session. Since then, the program has evolved each year to include athletes participating in four one-day camps, private figure training, strength & conditioning testing, tailored programming, mental training, and technical skills development. In 2019, we conducted a thorough review of our high-performance programs formalizing their symbiotic relationships and the Train to Train program was renamed Ignite Prospects.
The Ignite Prospects Program helps prepare future provincial and national team athletes for the high-performance pathway. The Ignite Prospects Program scouts the top 11-12-aged athletes in B.C. to participate in a one-week summer training camp focusing on basic figure and routine development. The Prospects Programs will progressively work towards in-season training camps and competing at SYNC every second season.

From time to time, athletes are unable to participate in a provincial program as planned. This may include, but is not limited to, a provincial program selection camp or a qualifying competition. To ensure consistency and fairness for all participants, BC Artistic Swimming has developed standard policies and procedures to guide its decision-making during such times.
