Ontario Artistic Swimming is excited to invite the provincial Artistic Swimming community to join us together in person on Saturday, September 17th and Sunday, September 18th at the Hilton Garden Inn Toronto Airport West/Mississauga for the 2022 Journey to Excellence Conference.
Over the last two years, Ontario coaches, athletes, officials, clubs and volunteers have shown incredible resilience, determination and shared motivation to continue progressing the sport and developing athletes for life. Now, as we prepare to return to a fully in-person season and return our annual conference to its in-person format, we can begin the process of reconnecting with our provincial community and reaffirming our core values of:
- Excellence
- Empowerment
- Heath and Wellbeing
- Sport for Life
Over two days of keynote presentations, interactive sessions and workshops led by sport and industry experts, the Journey to Excellence conference is an opportunity to rekindle connections and work collaboratively to further artistic swimming in Ontario.
