BENEFITS

Being a member of AquaGym Swim Club entitles you to represent AquaGym Swim Club at local, regional and national competitions. Being part of a strong and successful Team builds many individual qualities including, Confidence, Leadership, Setting Personal Goals, Taking Action and Supporting others. We take our swimming seriously, but we also like to have fun. We are a very friendly Club with many social events and activities taking place in a regular basis. You stay in the same squad (until promoted) as you are now, so you can continue to swim with your friends.

AQUAGYM SWIM CLUB TEAM UNIFORM

When a swimmer registers with the Club as a junior member, he/she will be given an AquaGym cap. He/she is then required to purchase the AquaGym Jade polo top and AquaGym shorts as the initial basic uniform. This is acceptable Club uniform at Junior Carnival, Junior League and local Club meet level. This basic uniform must be worn to and from all local swim meets as well as being worn poolside between swimmers events. All registered swimmers competing at Canterbury Championship level and above, or at ‘away’ swim meets, must wear full team uniform to, from and at all of these Meets. This is the AquaGym Club Uniform.
