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.
Check the BCAS Events Calendar for up to date information on clinics, courses, workshops and events in BC.

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
