Wildrose
stream
The Auroras’
Wildrose program is for children that have learned basic
synchronized swimming skills. (Wildrose is the
province-wide synchronized swimming competitive program, where
swimmers are categorized in tiers, from 1 to 5. Wildrose swimmers
may participate in local,
provincial, and regional competitions.) With a focus on further developing skills from the
FUNdamentals program, swimmers learn synchro-specific skills,
including flexibility, strength, and speed
development. Typically
swimmers are 8 to 14 years old.
Training hours increase as tier
levels increase. At the end of each season and the beginning of the
new season the swimmers may be tested (at the coaches discretion)
to determine an appropriate tier level. For example, the Auroras
offer tier testing camps in June. Testing also takes place in the
fall.
As well as fees, this program has
other requirements:
• bingo requirement
• volunteering commitment
• fundraising commitment
• wardrobe merchandise
• deposits -- all deposits are required at the time of
registration by way of undated cheques
