AquaGO! is the nation-wide grassroots foundation program for artistic swimming in Canada and is the launching pad for all other programs delivered by Canada Artistic Swimming. This new program reflects the current science behind long-term athlete development (LTAD) in the sport of artistic swimming, thus focusing on developing aquatic literacy as well as providing an introduction to the sport.
Led by certified instructors, the program is designed to meet the needs of children who will find the content fun to learn while participating in a safe and welcoming environment that incorporates a variety of basic physical and athletic skills in and out of the water. Children may use their new acquired skills to advance further in the sport of artistic swimming or may transfer them to other aquatic and land-based activities.

The BC Games were originally a vision of Premier W. R. Bennett who believed in providing “an opportunity to bring all parts of BC together, large and small communities, in the spirit of sport and friendship”. Mr. Bennett’s vision for the BC Games has provided a substantial foundation and structure on which excellence in sport and community has been and continues to be built. The mandate of the BC Summer Games Society is to provide an opportunity for all British Columbians to compete in an organized sports festival that promoted physical fitness, individual achievement, and community pride.
Artistic swimming is one of 24 sports that compete in the BC Summer Games. Held every two years, this multi-sport event is hosted in communities around the province. For the purposes of the Games, BC is divided into 8 zones which help to ensure that the Games include participation from all corners of the Province, and to support each sports' efforts to reach the entire province. Athletes are selected to Zone Teams based on where they live.
The next BC Summer Games will be held in 2024 in Maple Ridge. Team Selection will occur during the 2023-24 season at the Mable Moran Provincial Qualifier.
For more information and eligibility, please read the BC Summer Games Technical Package.
