Please find a few of our Frequently Asked Questions.
1) When does the Artistic Swimming Season run?
- For our Competitive Athletes, Artistic Swimming is a year round sport with a short break after State (March) or National (April) Championships.
- Pre-season starts in Term 3 (May-July) with a focus on skills, technique, strength, flexibility and fitness to prepare for the up coming season. Trials occur during this period for athletes self nominating for extra routines.
- Competitive Season runs Term 3 - Term 2. Training is termly with intensive training camps during the holidays
What about the Artistic Swiming Season for Recreational prgrams (including Children's Classes, Adults and Over 60's)?
- These classes operate on a weekly term based program only.
2) Can you please explain the annual fees that are payable every July?
Absolutely! There are two sets if you are recreational and three sets of payable annual fees if you swim at competitive level. These fees are payable every July, unfortunately this is even if you have recently joined.
a) Governing Body Fees (Artistic Swimming Australia & Artistic Swimming WA)
Applicable to Recreational and Competitive Athletes
This fee supports the administrative costs of operating both our National and State governing bodies, including:

b) SupaNova Club Annual Fee (Competitive Athletes Only)
This fee covers the administrative costs of operating Supanova Artistic Swimming Club. A detailed breakdown of fee inclusions for competitive members is available in the Members Only section of our website.
3) Why do I have to pay a club annual fee when I’ve already registered my child?
Our club annual fee is different to the registration fee which is paid to ASA and ASWA.
4) My child did not attend the competition, why have I been invoiced for it?
The period to scratch an athlete from a competition is usually 1 week prior to the competition. After this date unfortunately you will be invoiced the competition fee.
5) Help! Its our first figures competition. What does my child need to bring?
Great question. As well as wearing full club uniform, for figures your child needs to wear a plain black bather (no logos/patterns), a plain white cap and a nose clip. White caps, additional nose clips and club uniform can be found through our shop here. Snacks and water for before/after competitions are always welcome post nerves!
