Focused on pursuing excellence, national stream athletes participate at provincial, regional, and national competitions. At the final national championship athletes may have an opportunity to try out for a national team. There may also be opportunities to compete internationally and attend training camps.

At this level athletes commit to synchronized swimming as their sport. Training is in a group/team environment.

Age is determined as at the end of the year when the competitions are held. For 2013-14 the competitions occur in 2014, so age is calculated as at December 31, 2014.
