Due to limited coach availability and limited pool space, the Vernon Silhouettes are not currently offering a Competitive program. We plan to restart our Competitive program when the City of Vernon breaks ground on the new Active Living Center. For more information regarding the new Active Living Center, please visit https://vernonalc.ca/ .
Our competitive program offers a Provincial Stream competitive program for youth ages 8-18 years of age. Athletes are encouraged to start in our Recreational AquaGO! program for at least 1 year before moving up into the competitive program. Our competitive athletes train Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 4:00-5:00pm with additional dryland and wet practices at the coach's discretion to a maximum of 12 hours per week.
Provincial Stream competitive athletes can plan on attending four competitions per season (September - June) across British Columbia. The competition schedule is set by BC Artistic Swimming and swim meets alternate locations between the Interior, Lower Mainland and the Island.
Competitive athletes can expect to pay additional training fees, meet fees and club fees to cover Coaches' expenses to attend swim meets with the athletes. Fundraising opportunities are provided throughout the season to help cover these additional costs.
