Years at Club: 2nd year
Summer Pool: Pincourt
Why I Love Synchro: I love synchro because it is fun and I like the competitions with my friends.
My Best Synchro Memory: My best synchro memory was last year when I was picked to be on the novice team.
Years at Club: Two
Summer Pool: Glenmore
Why I Love Synchro: One of the reasons is that I love to swim. Synchro isn’t just boring laps though, it’s kind of dancing in the water; it shows not only your personality but also all of the group’s personality in one routine. My last reason is obviously that it is super fun! I get to be with my old and new friends in the pool doing our thing!
My Best Synchro Memory: My first winter competition (ever), my team and I were super excited, we had tried our hardest. We were waiting in front of the podium for the judges to announce the places. There were only four teams and everyone got something. They announced fourth place, then third. It was like a dramatic pause while waiting for them to announce second place. We crossed our fingers until they were read and squeezed our eyes shut, hoping to be first. Then we heard second place, it wasn’t us!!! We were first! It didn’t hit me until my friend (and teammate) Emma told me. We were so excited we almost jumped up and yelled. We squealed while waiting to be called up instead. Hearing our team being called made me believe it that much more and it was almost like tasting chocolate for the first time. We ran up and got our medals!
Years at Club: this is my second year.
Summer Pool: my backyard pool!
Why I love Synchro: I love Synchro for 3 reasons: I love dancing, I love swimming and I love being part of a team.
My Best Synchro Memory: Winning the gold medal at my first two competitions last year with the Novice team. And also winning the Club most improved athlete (Novice Team) award at the end of the season.
Years at Club: First
Summer Pool: Heights
Why I Love Synchro: I wasn't interested in Synchro until my family rejoined Heights Pool after a 3 year absence last summer. I had always loved competitive swimming and had come from a summer pool where that was the big thing. Heights, however, is a big Synchro pool and everyone looked like they were having so much fun during try-out week that I reluctantly decided to give it a try. I was placed on a team with the best coach (Christine Clog) and despite my foot cast, she made everything so much fun- the routines, the music and the practices! I ate, breathed and slept Synchro all summer! I liked it so much, in fact, that I decided to try it in the winter
My Best Synchro Memory: I don't have a single best Synchro memory... I just love it when all the practicing and preparation come together and my team performs their best during a routine at competitions.
Years at Club: 2 years on teams
Summer Pool: Westpark
Why I love Synchro: I love synchro because I love swimming and being on a team. Synchro makes me feel special because it makes me feel unique.
My best Synchro memory: Last year, winning the first two competitions, winning gold medals.
