We are Nevada's only nationally ranked synchronized swim team! In 2008, our 13-15 year old team won gold at Nationals in New York, and three of our girls qualified for the National Team and competed in the Pan American Games in Canada, winning silver.
We have girls from ages 6 to 17 who swim at all levels. We are a year round synchronized swimming program, and swim mainly in Summerlin at the Pavilion Center pool, a heated, outdoor, 25 year x 50 meter pool. We are a non-profit organization, and are administered by a board of directors made up of parents and coaches.
Synchronized swimming is a very demanding sport, and requires girls to develop many skills and abilities, including conncentration, discipline, agility, grace, coordination, strength and athletic ability. We have beginners who don't compete, but do participate in a few shows each year, as well as age group competitive teams who travel mainly to Arizona to compete a few times a year. We promote teamwork and physical fitness.
We put on a Water Show each fall for the local community and friends and family to see what synchronized swimming is all about!
We also offer a great summer camp program.
