A Nationally Ranked Synchronized Swim Team

We are the SOUTHERN NEVADA DESERT MERMAIDS. Nevada's only Nationally Ranked Competitive Swim Team. We are a team of girls ages 7-17 and we swim at all levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced.The Desert Mermaids were formed in 1999 and are comprised of approximately 40 girls. In 2005 the Desert Mermaids Team placed 2nd, duet age group 14-15 placed 5th, and solo placed 11th at U.S. Age Group Nationals in Buffalo, NY. We travel to Southern California, Arizona and all over the country for National Meets. We have an annual Water Show in Las Vegas, we have Professional Swimmers as well as some fun routines we put together. This is a great way to show everyone what we have learned.
Synchronized swimming is a sport combining strength and flexibility, aerobic conditioning, musical interpretation, dramatic showmanship and close teamwork. Powerful swimming is combined with close choreography to create synchronized routines.

Four types of routines are swum in synchronized swimming: solo, duet, trio and team (up to 8 swimmers). Routines are designed to appear effortless, but consist of strenuous swimming. They last from 3 to 5 minutes, often with swimmers holding their breath for lengths of time up to 30 seconds. The combination of skills--artistry, music and stunning athleticism--has made "synchro" popular for spectators.

The U.S. National Synchronized Swimming Team has held the the Worlds #1 ranking since 1991.

Additional Facts:

Synchronized swimmers can hear the music underwater via underwater speakers.
Synchronized swimmers do not touch the bottom of the pool during routines. They create the illusion that they are with sculling and the eggbeater kick.
Swimmers keep their eyes open while underwater.
