Saturday, March 9, 2024, the UBC Artistic Swimming Club hosted our annual Year End Watershow; an opportunity for our athletes to showcase their hard work from the season and for friends and family to send them off to Nationals! This year we had a huge turnout, filling up the stands with enthusiastic cheers and support.

The show kicked-off with our extra routines including our duets Maddy and Katie, Flynne and Marissa, and Liam and Raiyana and our beautiful soloists, Marissa, Serena and Raiyana.
This year, for the first time, we were fortunate to have three teams from Vancouver Masters Synchro perform! These talented athletes blew the audience away with their high-energy routines and interesting themes including Female Empowerment, Wednesday Adams, and Lady Gaga.
The first team from UBC to perform was the White team swimming to songs by Sofi Tucker. Coached by Jordan, this tight-knit group of athletes has been working hard this season to perfect their groovy routine in preparation for nationals!
Next, the Gold team, made up of 9 athletes, performed their Shrek-themed routine. With the help of their coach Angie, this team of All-Stars grabbed the audience’s attention with their creative choreography and iconic songs from the Shrek soundtrack.
Last but not least was the Blue team who swam the night away in their Barbie-themed routine coached by Stef. Composed of 8 athletes, this dedicated team has been training hard this season in the hopes of taking home the title of National Champions for the third year in a row next weekend at CUASL Nationals!
We’d like to thank everybody who came out to support the club and entered our raffles. Special shoutout to all the athletes from Vancouver Masters Synchro for the incredible performances and cheering.
