My Story
The Designer Courtenay Grant
Growing up Courtenay spent her childhood exploring her creativity through various forms of media and athletics. This Calgary native’s creative and active spirit has led to a unique marriage of her two passions in life, Artistic Swimming and Fashion design. Her two passions eventually collided when she began making her own lavish costumes which led to the Canadian artistic swimming community taking notice and orders started flowing in. Today her creations are worn by some of the top athletes on the National, International, and Olympic stage.
In 2014 Courtenay earned her Bachelors of Design in Fashion and Technology from Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Vancouver BC. Through her hands-on studies at University, 20 years in the sport of Artistic Swimming as a competitive athlete and high performance coach with the Calgary Aquabelles, BC Aquasonics and Vancouver Pacific Wave, Courtenay has built a business fully immersed in the ever evolving world of both fashion and Artistic Swimming.
