Yes really! From June 1st, Monday evenings get exciting 🤩
Beginners outdoor synchronised swimming classes.
What do you need to know?…
Q. Will I be expected to swim under water?
A. No. We are in a lake, and the emphasis will be on making pretty patterns on the surface of the water. Think big circles, group star shapes.
Q. I’ve never done it before, does that matter?
A. This is for absolute beginners!! As long as you can swim & tread water, you’ll be fine.
Q. I’m not very fit, does that matter?
A. Synchronised swimming can help build your fitness. We don’t swim long distances, but if you are a slower swimmer, I make sure to place you in a routine where you don’t need to swim as fast or far.
Q. Are we in the water for the whole session?
A. No. We begin with a warm up on the land & then move into the water to learn movements & routines. Sometimes we learn routines on the land as well.
Q. Will my hair get wet?
A. Probably. Feel free to wear a swim hat if you’d like.
Q. Do we learn a routine?
A. Yes. Each week you will be taught new moves & techniques, which will then be put together to create a routine. At the end of the term, we work towards putting on a mini show for friends & family to watch. This is a fun, relaxed performance.
Q. Do I have to wear a costume?
A. You wear your regular swimwear to classes, but for a show, you may need to purchase a colourful swim hat & swimsuit to match with other swimmers.
Please head over to the Synchro StingRays page. All of the Stingrays started on a beginners course. We hope that you could join the performance team too.
Come along and join me in the water at Woodside Lodges Country Park
