Synchronized Swimming
LESSONS
Participants will be introduced to the fundamental sculls, basic figures and various routine components of early synchronized swimming, in addition to other disciplines aimed at improving strength, coordination and flexibility.
SYNCHRO TEAMS
Junior Teams
Junior TeamsThis team is for girls who are 12 years and younger (as per Shealyn). Being on a junior team requires a regular time commitment each week plus extra practices around competition time. Participants are expected at all practices and will be required to inform the coach of any absence. Participants will be required to purchase a team bathing suit. The preliminary competition is usually held at the end of July or the very beginning of August while the final competition is usually held around mid August. Sometimes younger girls with advanced synchro skills have been moved up to the senior level. Ideally, there are 6-8 individuals on the team.
At the Junior level, there are also duet and solo competitions. We are allowed one solo and one duet entry in the summer competitions. Of course, an athlete who is on both the team and either the duet or solo will require an additional time commitment.
Senior Teams
Seniors are 16 years and younger. At this level, the swimming is more intricate, elaborate, and complicated. It is physically more demanding and requires about a regular time commitment plus additional practices around competition time. Participants are expected at every practice and will be required to notify the coach of any absence.
The Senior duet and solo will be chosen based on the same criteria. Being part of the team plus a duet or solo requires an additional time commitment on behalf of the swimmer.
