Synchro is the ultimate sport for developing a host of physical literacy skills.  Not only does a synchro athlete become a great swimmer; they also develop strength, power, grace, rhythm musicality, endurance and flexibility.  It’s also the ultimate team sport- every member of the team is crucial to its success.

There is a lot going on in synchronized swimming. Athletes need to be powerful, to move across the pool quickly.  They need great balance, during lifts and while performing moves upside down.  They need excellent breath control, as they are under the water for long periods of time, and they need grace and artistry, to make everything look beautiful.  Aquatica synchro has many different programs to meet athletes at the stage they are at, then gradually progress to more difficult skills when the athlete is ready to make that progression.
