Recreational

The Nepean Synchro Swim Club’s Recreational Program will introduce swimmers to Synchronized Swimming.

Beginner level classes develop swimmers' comfort in the water, basic sculling skills, and basic synchro positions. As levels increase, further skill development will continue. Swimmers will be taught a routine based on their abilities which will be performed at the year end Watershow. The goal of the Recreational Program is to develop new and beginner synchro swimmers’ skills, which will prepare them for the competitive program.

New this year, Synchro Squirts, for swimmers 8 and under!

Each year the Recreational Program finishes the season with a Year End Watershow for family and friends.

The annual program is divided into two primary parts:
For the first part of the program swimmers work on appropriate star levels, determined by the coach, to develop basic and more advanced synchro skills. During the winter, all swimmers participate in Star Testing by a Synchro Ontario qualified judge. The girls progress through the Synchro Canada star program and are tested for the level that the coach feels they are capable of passing.

The second part of the program commences after Christmas when music is chosen by the coach and a routine is choreographed for the swimmers to perform at the Year End Watershow.

The executive and coaching staff dedicate themselves to ensuring that a positive atmosphere of co-operation and encouragement to all swimmers is maintained throughout the year.
