BC Artistic Swimming supports and aligns all program delivery with the Canada Artistic Swimming Long-Term Athlete Development Framework 2.1. The LTAD Framework 2.1 introduces physical literacy and athlete development in artistic swimming at all levels from entry level to Sync for Life. It serves as the fundamental operational manual that underpins the structure and programming for our sport in BC and across Canada.
All coach education clinics and courses can be found on the CAS Artisitic Swimming Coach website.

BC Artistic Swimming is committed to helping our coaches with their professional development (PD) during the unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic. We value our coaches and we are devoted to helping them continue their education and growth which, in turn, benefits our athletes and our sport. Our first step was the financial support for coaches to take the AquaGO! Instructor Course announced last week, but we’ve got more up our sleeves. 😊
Professional Development Inventory
January 2020 was the start of a new NCCP PD Points cycle so all coaches need to start accumulating new PD points to maintain certification. To help, BCAS has compiled a PD Inventory creating a one-stop shop to find and access development opportunities that have shared over the course of the last year. The list outlines the specific activities, the number of PD points available, the cost, and a link to the resources. Be sure to check into The Locker to check what you’ve learned to date and what may need renewal or re-certification

BC Artistic Swimming recognizes the geographic challenges that come with our beautiful province. In an effort to ensure all clubs have access to technical leadership and coaching, the Regional Coach Program was introduced in 2018. Since then, the program has evolved based on feedback from members and is today known as the Regional Sport Services Program. To learn more, please click here .
