COVID-19 Resources

NOTICE - Updated January 6, 2021

Based on the current Public Health Order, please be advised that the following restrictions in relation to artistic swimming activities in BC are effective immediately and until further notice:

Physical Distancing, Contact & Spectators Physical Distancing:

The new Public Health Order has increased the required physical distance between participants to 3 meters.

Contact:

There is to be NO CONTACT between participants including handshaking, high fives, hugging, or similar behaviour. 

Spectators:

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.

Artistic Swimming Activities

The Order has been revised to describe Group Sport which is defined as sporting activities involving more than one person and includes training and practice for an individual or a team sport. 

Under the current, revised Order:

  1. Participants 22 years of age or older may participate in indoor group sport activities in groups of up to 2 people (e.g. singles tennis or an athlete and a coach training session) or in outdoor group sport activities in groups of up to 4 people (e.g. four individuals may run together or train in an outdoor setting) provided they maintain a distance of 3 metres from one another at all times. As a result, athletes 22 years of age or older may train individually with a coach, but may not train as a duet or team.
  2. Participants 21 years of age or younger may participate in group sport activities and train within their training groups and cohorts provided all activities follow facility protocols and align with viaSport's Phase 2 restrictions and stipulations outlined below:
    • Physical distancing of 3 meters must be in place at all times.
    • Non-essential travel is not permitted, including travel to participate in competitions.
    • Youth athletes may travel from one community to another to participate in training activities with their HOME CLUB. Athletes and their families who travel outside of their community to participate in home club activities are encouraged not to make any other stops and should only travel from home to the training facility and return home.
    • No inter-club activities are permitted.
    • Hand and personal hygiene and enhanced cleaning protocols are to be in place.
    • Face masks are to be worn at all time except when in the water.
    • Clubs must ensure that daily health monitoring/symptom screening are in place either by the club or the facility.
    • Whenever possible, clubs are encouraged to run activities, such as dryland, in outdoor spaces.
    • Limit participation to small training groups and cohorts as defined in the BCAS Return to Artistic Swimming Guidelines. No contact activities are permitted.
    • Clubs must minimize shared equipment and ensure stringent cleaning protocols are enforced.

Return to Artistic Swimming Guidelines

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.
