Who is GO
Capital?
GO Capital Artistic Swimming Club
was established in 2016 when three well established Ottawa area
artistic swimming clubs (Ottawa Synchro, Gloucester Synchro and
Gloucester Capital Synchro) amalgamated. GO Capital is a
member of Ontario Artistic Swimming, the umbrella organization
responsible for artistic swimming in Ontario.
GO Capital Artistic
Swimming is a not-for-profit, volunteer-board run artistic
swimming club dedicated to providing opportunities for all athletes
who love the water, to train, compete and be active for life.
We offer programs ranging from recreation to a high performance,
national competitive stream and everything in between. For
more information on our programs, please click on the Programs
tab.
In addition to a dedicated group
of volunteers GO Capital Artistic Swimming also has a great team of
dynamic and well qualified coaches. The full-time Lead Coach of GO
Capital Artistic Swimming is Geneviève
Beauregard-Ross.
What’s in a
Name?
GO Capital’s name and visual
identity reflect the history of the 3 amalgamated clubs, its place
in Canada and the principles of striving for excellence and
inclusion for all swimmers, at all ages and all abilities.
GO Capital was chosen as the
club’s name to reflect both the history and future for
artistic swimming in Ottawa.
The use of the word
‘GO’ pays tribute to both Gloucester and Ottawa Synchro
by using the first letter from each clubs’ names to form the
word GO.
GO also refers to Greater
Ottawa. With more than 200 swimmers in all streams of
artistic swimming from recreational swimmers to high performance
national stream athletes, GO Capital has a place for all swimmers
in Greater Ottawa.
The use of the word Capital is
both a reference to the Club’s geographic location in the
heart of Canada’s National Capital Region and a reference to
Gloucester Capital, one of the three clubs that came together to
form GO Capital.
