Halifax Aqua Nova is pleased to introduce AquaGO!, a nation-wide grassroots foundation program for artistic swimming in Canada and is the launching pad for all other programs delivered by Canada Artistic Swimming. It is an opportunity for children as young as age 5 to have fun, develop aquatic literacy, learn the basics of artistic swimming and develop basic physical and athletic skills in and out of the water.
AquaGO! is a 10 week session. Sessions begin in September, January, and March. Registration for 1, 2, or 3 terms is available. If you would like to register for the full year, we will track your child's progress throughout each session, provide the same mid-term and end reports as we would for a 1 or 2 term athlete, and keep you, as parents/guardians, up to date on the progress being made.
AquaGO! deliverables:
In the event of a cancelled class (due to weather, facility closure, etc.), we will make every effort possible to schedule a make-up class.

Below is a sample of the AquaGO lesson plans
AquaGO was designed to build an overall athlete so there are actually many exercises that are done on land before getting into the water. Your child may not be in the pool until 30 minutes into the lesson and your child may also get out of the pool before the lesson is over to continue doing dry-land training.
Masters
Our Masters team focuses on fitness and improving synchro skills. It is designed for adult swimmers who want to:
a) develop their swimming skills with an introduction to synchro movements and sculling.
b) develop their synchro skills with a fun and welcoming environment.
Our Masters swimmers train on Mondays from 7:30-8:30pm.
Training will be in the form of 10-week sessions: NEXT SESSION is January 6th, 2020
What do I need?
Swimmers will need a full piece swimsuit, bathing cap, and goggles for practices. Nose clips are optional but recommended.
