This page will be undergoing a new, updated focus for AWD in Artistic Swimming. We will be shifting from primarily advocacy to primarily resources for AWD and Coaches in Artistic Swimming. The local team we sponsor (Bay Area Artistic Swimming -) now has it's own webpage>click on the team name above to be redirected). By the FALL2025 this page should be completed with updates and accompanying tabs/pages. Included will be a login page for current AWD coaches.
Thank you for your patience as we transition into the next chapter for AWDs nationally & globally.
