Summer 2023 camps

The two 1-week camps are scheduled for July 10-14 and Aug. 14-18 at Summit Centre.

Attendance at one 1-week camp is compulsory to be considered for the Canada Summer Games 2025 Team, and attendance at both camps is strongly encouraged (with the understanding that families may have had vacations already booked). The goal of the camps is to develop and evaluate the athletes' overall abilities with focus on the skills for CSG 2025 to help coaches make the final selection for the CSG Team. As well, it will help coaches identify potential solo and duet competitors.

The camps will be comprised of pool time, as well as various other sessions facilitated by outside experts regarding such topics as nutrition, mental health, flexibility, choreography, etc. Additional details and schedules will be communicated as confirmations are made. We are actively working on creating the best schedule we can to make it a fun and enjoyable learning experience for all our athletes.

HPT Single Day Summer Training Camps

Strength and conditioning (S & C) training

The next phase to our athlete development in preparation for the Canada Summer Games 2025 team selection includes strength and conditioning (S & C) training at the provincial High Performance Centre (HPC) at the Newfoundland and Labrador Sports Centre on 90 Crosbie Road.

The goal is to provide a high performance program that promotes and supports increased physical conditioning, skill development and overall athlete development tailored to artistic swimming. We are working with the Executive Director of the HPC to develop this S & C program.
This program is offered free of charge to high performance athletes of Provincial Sport Organizations, including NLAS.
The sessions will be Wednesdays at 4pm and Saturdays at 12pm. At least one session per week is mandatory with the expectation that if an athlete cannot attend the second session as well they coordinate with the trainer to make it up at another time. Consistency is required to see strength and conditioning benefits, and the skills and programs our athletes will be taught can be used for years to come outside of their Canada Games journey.
