The new Public Health Order has increased the required physical distance between participants to 3 meters.
There is to be NO CONTACT between participants including handshaking, high fives, hugging, or similar behaviour.
No spectators are permitted at any artistic swimming activity unless the presence of a spectator is necessary in order to provide care to a child or youth.

Under the current, revised Order:
BC Artistic Swimming is pleased to release Version 4 of its Return to Artistic Swimming Guidelines. This document provides the framework for returning to artistic swimming in BC and the steps for our Member Clubs, coaches, and athletes to continue pursuing their love and passion for artistic swimming!
The BC Artistic Swimming community is working together to create a safe environment for all participants. As the Province of BC continues to progress through BC's Restart Plan: Next Steps to Move Through the Pandemic, we will continue to work diligently with our funders, partners, and members to respond to the changing environment that COVID-19 has created.
2020-21 will be a season like no other, but with continued calm and caring, we will navigate this new environment together, guided by our vision for an inclusive and accessible sport community that inspires excellence.
