Aurora Provincial Competitive teams are organized into age groups. The earliest someone can compete according to Alberta Artistic Swimming (AAS) rules is 7 turning 8 in 2024. Each age group competes in a team routine and figures skills at competitions within the Province. The Jr/SR age group does not compete figures, instead they can participate in two routines. In Alberta, provincial level athletes are also referred to as Wildrose.
Team routines are what most people see on TV - a routine with music in a minimum group size of 4 to a maximum of 10. This is the event where swimmers wear make-up, fancier suits, gel their hair up and wear a nose clip. Figures are skills that are competed individually in front of a panel of 3-5 judges who will flash a score between 0.25-9.75. Swimmers compete in 2-4 figures at each competition. In this event, swimmers wear black caps, white caps, nose clip and goggles.
For more details about appropriate levels or more about the sport, see the Auroras Pathways and the Parent's Guide to Artistic Swimming.
