About Synchro
In a sports world focused on rough and tumble sports like hockey, football, and soccer, synchronized swimming is like a breath of fresh air. It is a sport in which 99% of the athletes are female. Synchronized Swimming can be compared to figure skating in that the athletes must master and perform "figures" or compulsory components that are then put together in the performance of a routine. Swimmers are judged both on their skill level in the execution of the compulsory figures as well as the performance of their routine. It is a sport that requires the athlete to have the strength of a weight lifter, the endurance of a competitive swimmer, the precision of a diver, the flexibility of a gymnast and the finesse and grace of a ballerina. The end product is a performance that the spectator can truly appreciate!
Pre-competitive program
Killarney offers a pre-competitive as well as a competitive program. The goal of the pre-competitive program is to introduce swimmers to Synchronized Swimming and develop skills which will prepare them for the competitive program. Swimmers will learn basic sculling skills and Synchro positions as well as a routine which they will perform at the year end Watershow. Swimmers may try out our pre-competitive program at any time during the swim season.
