Atlantic Development Camp: Empowering Atlantic Canada's Artistic Swimming Community in Moncton, NB - NOVEMBER 7-9
Get ready, Moncton! In a remarkable collaboration, New Brunswick Artistic Swimming is proud to host the Atlantic Development Camp. These exciting events will take place at the Piscine Jeanne Lévesque, University of Moncton, from November 7th to 9th. It's an extraordinary opportunity for athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers from across Atlantic Canada to come together for a weekend of learning, inspiration, and growth in the vibrant world of artistic swimming.
Atlantic Development Camp: We anticipate an impressive turnout with over 68 athletes, 20 coaches, and nearly 40 officials and volunteers from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and PEI set to attend this dynamic gathering. The event will feature 11 Canada Artistic Swimming representatives, including CAS CEO Steve Wallace, who will be on hand as part of our outreach program and to introduce our new Strategic Plan. Together, they will create a vibrant environment for artistic swimming enthusiasts to enhance their skills both in and out of the pool.
Training by Team Canada Members: The "Atlantic Development Camp" will offer intensive training sessions led by current Team Canada members renowned for their excellence in the sport: Members to be announced at a later date
These elite athletes will impart their invaluable knowledge and experience to aspiring artistic swimmers, empowering them to reach their full potential.
National Coaches in Attendance: TBA
Development for the Whole Atlantic Artistic Swimming Community: One thing that sets this event apart is its focus on development for the entire Atlantic artistic swimming community - not just for athletes. With over 50 coaches and officials in attendance, they will have the opportunity to learn not only by being poolside but also through conferences from our development experts.
A Grant-Powered Initiative: The "Atlantic Development Camp" and the Atlantic Development Camp & Technical Conference are made possible through the generous support of the Go NB Grant Program. This program is the result of a collaborative agreement between the Government of Canada (Sport Canada) and the Province of New Brunswick (Department of Tourism, Heritage, and Culture). It underscores the commitment of both levels of government to foster athletic development and excellence within New Brunswick.
Pam Bursey, Executive Director of New Brunswick Artistic Swimming, shared her thoughts: "We are thrilled to host these events in Moncton and deeply grateful for the support of the GoNB Grant Program. These gatherings represent significant milestones in our mission to grow the sport of artistic swimming in our province. They present fantastic opportunities for athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers from across Atlantic Canada to learn from the best in the field and elevate their skills to new heights. We eagerly anticipate the positive impact it will have on our local athletes and the broader artistic swimming community."
