2021 COMPETITION SEASON

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

SAFETY FIRST

The safety of all participants will be the leading principle that will guide our decisions as we navigate through the competition season

EMBRACE THE
NEW NORMAL

Embrace the new opportunities and resist thinking we will be able to do what we have always done

BE ADAPTABLE

Accept that artistic swimming WILL look different for every province and club – what is important is not being equal but rather making sure the sport is not being held back because we are catering to the lowest common denominator. There needs to be the opportunity for everyone to deliver programming based on whatever protocols are in place in their own area of the country

SUPPORT
THE SPORT

We must support Artistic Swimming happening in the 2020-2021 season in whatever way that is possible. The priority is the health of the sport and what can be done to ensure that artistic swimming flourishes in every club in Canada

SHIFT OUR FOCUS

There needs to be a focus shift away from the end goal of “events” to the experience/environment in clubs and the athlete experience for the season. This season is about the process (the journey) and not the outcome (results at national events)

PROVIDE
CERTAINTY

We need a plan that has 100% certainty with alternate plans ready to execute if things change
