FAQs

Please find a few of our Frequently Asked Questions.

💦 I am loving my child's recreational class! What options are there to swim more?

Our recreational classes are designed to develop the basic skills of Artistic Swimming and run either 60 or 90 minutes. Our coaches review all our recreational children each term and when they feel the basics are mastered, your child will be offered an age-based squad position. You can chat with our coaches at any time about this.

Artistic Swimming squad age groups are:

10 and Under
12 and Under
Youth: 13-15 years of age
Junior: 15-19 years of age

💦 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!

💦 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.

FEE BASED QUESTIONS

💦 Can you please explain the annual fees for squad athletes that are payable every July?

a) Governing Body Fees (Artistic Swimming Australia & Artistic Swimming WA)

This fee supports the administrative costs of operating both our National and State governing bodies, including:

Insurance coverage for athletes and volunteers
Music licensing
General administrative expenses

b) SupaNova Club Annual Fee

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.

💦 Why do I have to pay a club annual fee when I’ve already registered my child?

As above, our club annual fee is different to the registration fee which is paid to ASA and ASWA.
