Synchronised swimming

Synchronised swimming

Synchronised swimming is a combination of dancing, gymnastics and swimming. Synchro is performed in solos, duets or teams to music. Stockport Metro follows the competitive grades and the swimmers participate in Regional and National level competitions as well as displays.

In grade tests and competitions the swimmers are marked on technical merit (the correctness and complexity of moves) and artistic impression (how the choreography of the routine reflects the music of choice). Swimmers can hear the music underwater with the aid of an underwater speaker.

If your child can swim 25m backstroke and either 10m front crawl or breaststroke they can attend a  2 WEEK FREE TRIAL, so come down and give it a go!
