ATHLETES WITH UNIQUE ABILITIES (AUA)
Ignite Artistic Swimming believes in inclusivity and providing programming for all athletes. If you have an athlete at home who has cognitive or physical disabilities and are interested in trying artistic swimming, we have the program for you!
We offer inclusive training options at all levels. Depending on the goals and needs of your athlete, we can offer programming where your athlete is immersed in the team experience with additional aid, or small ratio, or 1:1 training on developing their artistic swimming skills.
AUA athletes may choose to train at a recreational or competitive level, or summer camps.
The programming consists of multiple skills levels, training options and event offered, including mixed abilities programming, figures, solos, duets and team events.
