General Questions

 

When is Synchro Season?

September to the end of May or Early June.

Options for Summer Club training when available

 

Do I Fundraise?

Yes. We offer numerous fundraising opportunities throughout the season. There is no fundraising for Aqua Squirts or Recreational Masters.

 

Who Runs the Club?

The club has a full executive of parent volunteers. New parents are encouraged to come and join the fun!

 

Where does my child fit in?

If you are unsure where to start, our Aqua Squirts  or Rec Programs are both great places to try out the sport of Synchronized swimming. Our Head Coach is available to screen any swimmers who are unsure of placement.

 

Who do I talk to if I have questions?

Coaching concerns; The first person would be your child’s coach, she should be able to answer most questions you may have. The Head coach would be the next person if you do not receive the answers you are looking for.

Monthly dues or financial questions; please contact our club president or an executive member, they will be more than happy to assist you.

As the Head coach I am on deck Mon-Fri (with the exception of Tues) and Sundays.

I will be more than happy to talk with you before or after practice times with any questions or concerns.
