Artistic Swimming
Artistic Swimming (formerly known as Synchronized Swimming) is a life-long sport and is FUN for all ages. The sport results in the development of a high level of PHYSICAL FITNESS. Participating in artistic swimming is an enjoyable way to make FRIENDS through teamwork.
Athletes must learn compulsory figures and at least one team routine, and will develop and enhance their swimming skills. Figures are comprised of basic positions linked by transitional movements. Opportunities may be available for solo and duet routines as well. Routines are choreographed to music and performed at competitions and watershows.
Swimmers participate in the Year End Watershow. Please visit the club's calendar for the dates.
