Artistic Swimming Officially Launched in Gozo

Otters ASC has officially launched Artistic Swimming in Gozo following a successful trial earlier this summer, marking an important development for aquatic sport on the island.

The initiative has been developed since the beginning of 2026 through collaboration between Otters ASC and ASA Malta. Under the agreement, ASA Malta National Artistic Swimming Technical Director and Head Coach Michelle Hubner will travel to Gozo twice a week throughout the winter season, assisted by National Team Coach and European Aquatics Technical Official Hannah Preca Trapani.

The programme also follows a successful summer trial led by coach Davida from Synchro Knights, which gave children in Gozo their first opportunity to experience the sport.

The new programme will allow young athletes to develop their skills under national-level coaching without having to travel to Malta, creating greater accessibility to Artistic Swimming.

The launch also strengthens Otters ASC’s ambition to become a comprehensive aquatic sports hub for Gozo. With the addition of Artistic Swimming, the club is now the first in Malta to offer four official aquatic disciplines under one structure: Swimming, Artistic Swimming, Water Polo and Open Water Swimming.
