The goal of Nepean Artistic Swimming’s AWD (Athlete with Disability) program is to allow anyone to participate in artistic swimming!
1-2 per week
None, but swimmers are welcome to attend our end-of-season watershow! Classes can be private lessons or we can dicuss opportunities to be integrated with one of our recreational classes.
1-3 per week
2 local (Ottawa-area) competitions per season. At this level, currently only solo routines are an option, but athletes can participate in various club events throughout the season to work with other athletes!
2-4 per week or more
3-4 competitions per season throughout Ontario. At this level, swimmers are also able to participate in mixed ability duet or mixed ability team with our competitive athletes, as well as integration into our competitive practices.
“My two children have had the absolute pleasure of being involved in the AWD program with Nepean Synchro. My son participated in the recreational Junior Squirts program and my daughter did her first year at the competitive level.
My daughter had been having challenges in mainstream programs and had been excluded from many activities due to her physical and cognitive delays. She has always been a good swimmer and with this opportunity I have seen her confidence soar. Her coach was phenomenal and made all the difference for her – providing a program that was built on her strengths and challenged her to improve. Her swimming and accomplishments in swimming have given her confidence in other areas – including at school – where her teachers started remarking that she was participating more during class and making friends for the first time!
My son with his hearing loss and social delays was able to make a connection with his 1:1 coach and make progress with his swimming. He suffers from anxiety and his coach was able to get his confidence in his abilities to the point where he actually fully participated in an end of year Watershow in front of all the parents… this is still incredible to me! I have been impressed with the caring, commitment, adaptability and overall acceptance that my children have received from Nepean Synchro.”
