Our Programs

We offer many programs to suit different ages and skill levels. There are three main types of programs:

  • Synchro Stars Recreational Program
  • Pre-Competitive Programs (Mini and Novice)
  • Competitive Program (Provincial Level)


Synchro Stars recreational program:

The Synchro Stars program is intended to give participants an introduction to the sport of synchronized swimming. We have combined some of the essential skills with Synchro Ontario's new Swim Synchro program.
 
Our classes run for one hour, once a week, for nine weeks. Each lesson your daughter can expect to participate in stretching, warm-up, review and practice, learning new skills, routine development, and a variety of games and activities.
 
We have developed the Synchro Stars program with the LTAD (Long Term Athlete Development) model in mind. The program addresses each of the 5  Basic S's of Training and Performance: Strenght, Stamina, Suppleness, Speed and Skill. In addition we havve added a 6th S: Social, as teamwork is so key in synchronized swimming.
 
Swimmers in our recreational program will learn a variety of synchro basics and work on a short routine.  On the last day of classes swimmers will be tested for their Swim Synchro badge and will perform their routine for the parents.
