The Venue:
Kingsmead College is a private school in Johannesburg with superb facilities.
We are delighted to be working with Kingsmead College to host the event and will be providing the athletes with a super venue to compete at and enjoy the competition.
There are 2 x 25m outdoor pools - the warmup pool has a diving well but is shallower on one end 1.3m
The Competition pool is 25m x 20m x 2m.
Both pools are heated. There is under cover seating along 2 sides of the pool for spectators (length and width).
The Gymnasium complex provides ample space and facilities for teams to set up a base for routine preparation - and there are lots of grass areas for informal athlete relaxation.
There is also a fully functional canteen with a variety of hot and cold foods for lunches and snacks and a large selection of beverages.

The Accommodation:
The 4*Rosebank Holiday Inn is situated in the vibey Rosebank suburb in northern Johannesburg. The hotel is connected directly to the large Rosebank Mall and the Zone Entertainment complex which offers everything from Krispy Kreme to Skechers and everything in between. The Hotel rooms include a mini fridge and all the amenities required.
The accommodation includes a full breakfast offering as well as buffet style dinner in the restaurant that overlooks the skyline of northern and eastern Johannesburg.
The Costs:
Our aim is to provide maximum value by keeping costs to athletes as low as possible. We know international travel is expensive and logistically complex for clubs and parents.
We are excited to announce our partnership with Pure Travel who will be providing a single booking service for the entire competition including Flights, Accommodation, Meals and Transport.
We encourage clubs to make use of this service as it may be the most cost effective and certainly easier to manage.

The Rules
The objective of this competition is to enable all levels of athletes to enjoy the excitement and experience of a fun competition. We encourage entries from Novice to Masters to provide competition opportunities to all athletes in a safe and positive environment.
The Rules are flexible and provide coaches with options for athletes compete across age groups if required.
​
Novice athletes are classed as an athlete in the first 2 years of competition. However Novice athletes (ie those in first 2 years of competition) can enter Age Group categories if they wish to.
​
Categories are:
Novice: 10U, 12U, Youth, Junior, Senior, Masters
Age Groups: 10U, 12U, Youth, Junior, Senior, Masters
​
Events across categories: Fee Solo, Male Solo, Tech Solo, Male Tech Solo, Free Duet, Tech Duet, Mixed Free Duet, Mixed Tech Duet, Trio, Free Team, Combo
​
Age groups can be mixed - ie a 12U athlete could swim a duet with a Junior Athletes. Teams are open - any athlete can be part of a team - even novice.
We believe that this provides all athletes the opportunity to compete and take part and gives coaches flexibility with athlete combinations.
The Experience
We would like all the athletes and officials to have a different Artistic experience and we have put a lot of effort into providing a comfortable and well organised event with our world renowned South African hospitality and some exciting innovations.
​
The awards dinner promises to be a function each athlete will remember for years to come and we are looking forward to a wonderful celebration of Artistic Swimming.

We can't accurately describe what awaits - so you just have to experience it for yourselves!
