Toronto Synchronized Swimming Club
8 Playter Blvd. Toronto ON M4K 2V9
Competitive Registration 2011-2012
Toronto Synchronized Swimming Club, the Club offers a full competitive program in several age groups. This past year we had teams competing at both the provincial and national levels, girls ranging in age from 8 to 17. Some swimmers are also training for duets or solos. The competitive season begins right after the September long weekend and continues until June at the University of Toronto Athletic Centre at 55 Harbord Street. We largely use the 50m pool and the 25m pool for training.
Above is the tentative 2011-2012 schedule. Please note that this schedule is based on the 2011 club survey results and was developed to accommodate the greatest number of swimmers in the club who intend to return for the 2011-2012 season to compete with TSSC.
You will note that next to each team number the current 2010-2011 TSSC teams are listed beside the tentative training schedule. This is not to assume that your child will necessarily remain on that same team but it is tentative plan based on the assumption that the club will retain around the same numbers for our competitive program with the majority of growth for our youngest teams.
Intro to Competitive: Our Intro to Competitive program is for swimmers looking to move from our recreational program into our competitive stream for the first time. It may also involve swimmers who are in our competitive program or swimmers who are brand new to synchro. Depending on enrollment we are expecting anywhere in between 1-2 teams after assessments in September. The approximate age ranges of the two teams would be a 10& under team and an 11-13 years old team.
For the 2011-2012 season TSSC will be holding competitive team & extra routine try outs in September 2011 following Labour Day. Our try outs are for any synchronized swimmer or future swimmer, interested in joining one of our many competitive programs. The reason why we hold competitive try outs every year is to place athletes in appropriate programs to allow them to reach their full potential in synchronized swimming.
