Dollard Synchro             

Years at Club: 3

Summer Pool: Versailles

Why I Love Synchro: I love synchro because it's such an artistic sport and also a performance. Even though our routines are very intense and challenging, we have to make it look effortless and graceful. I also love that it's a team sport and we're all working together towards the same goal. We can learn so much from our coaches and teammates and every day we push each other to improve.

My Best Synchro Memory: The best memories I have of synchro were from 2011 Nationals. It was my last Nationals in 15 and under and I competed in team, combo, solo, and National Team trials. Swimming each routine was so much fun! Coming 1st in combo and also in team routine was such an amazing feeling because we had worked so hard all year and it really paid off. I remember that we were all crying as we got out of the pool because we were all so happy!

Years at club : 5

Summer pool : Cedar Park Pool

Why I Love Synchro :  I love synchro because you can create your routines and express yourself when you swim them.  I also like the amazing team spirit there is at every practice.

My Best Synchro Memory : My best synchro memory is Summer 2011 with Team Canada at the Comen Cup in Italy.

Years at club: 2 years, going on my 3rd

Summer pool: None, because I go home to New Brunswick in the summer so I guess my backyard pool :)

Why I love Synchro: I love synchro because it combines the sports of swimming, dance and gymnastics which I took when I was young and enjoyed them. Synchro is hard work, but it's lots of fun because you meet lots of new teammates who you become great friends with over the year(s). Also the coaches make it exciting to come to practice because they really care for you and do what's in your best interest. 

My Best Synchro Memory: I don't have one specific synchro memory that I love, but a general one that I love is the competitions. Yes the competitions are super stressful and sometimes frustrating, but getting to room with teammates, flying or taking a bus to the competition and the proudness you get after you have competed makes the competitions so much more fun. It does get a bit hard to be around the same girls 24/7 for up to 10 days, but they understand if you just need a few minutes alone.

Nombre d’années au club : 3e année

Piscine d’été :  --

Pourquoi j’aime de la synchro :  Parce que la synchro est ma source de réconfort, je sais que lorsque j'arrive a la piscine tout mes problèmes s'envole, et parce que c'est tout simplement une passion pour moi.

Mon meilleur souvenir en synchro :  Quand j'ai entendu mon nom pour annoncer la troisième place en solo au championnat panaméricain. Je ne pouvais tout simplement pas y croire, c'était comme si je voyais tout d'un coup tout mes efforts se réaliser.
