What can I expect?
The Aquarelles Synchro Club is an artistic swimming program, established in San Antonio since 2014. We have trained coaches that develop recreational and elite swimmers in their athletic skills, rhythm, and team building. We are a non-profit organization that embraces three core values: respect, team spirit, and self-confidence. Our mission is to empower swimmers, kids and adults alike, to be passionate and confident in life through artistic swimming.
Coaches will group swimmers in similar age and ability groups. Groups will practice 1 to 4 times a week to work on specific skills. The team will put together a routine consisting of artistic and technical elements, dynamic transitions and hybrids. Coaches expect swimmers to come to practice ready to work hard, work as a member of a team, and maintain a positive attitude.
Swimmers train throughout the session improving flexibility, strength, technical figures and coordination. There are different kinds of routines: team routines, duets, and solos (trios for Masters). Duets and solos are optional and require individualized training. The training culminates at the end of the season with a fun and entertaining water show open to the public, and competitive performance for our competing teams.
THERE IS A PLACE FOR EVERY ONE AT EVERY SKILL LEVEL FROM BEGINNER SWIMMERS TO COMPETITIVE ATHLETES.
