Recreational Programs

As a new challenge for a strong swimmer or as a complement to swimming lessons, our innovative synchronized swimming programs offer a fun activity and an introduction to a unique and challenging sport. Burlington Synchro offers novice programs from mid September to May. Programs are available to swimmers from 3 years of age. Swimmers are taught synchronized swimming skills following Synchro Canada’s ability based system. They will learn the necessary skills to achieve swim synchro levels and badges, synchro star levels, and will be awarded star pins upon completion. Instruction occurs in a team environment. Teams can consist of up to 8 swimmers. Experienced groups will learn choreographed routines set to music for presentation at watershows and novice competitions.

AquaSquirts is a play-based, water orientation program that helps develop swimming skills for children 3-7 years of age. AquaSquirts involves fun in the water – jumping, rolling, spinning, twisting, and turning upside down.

Beginner 1/2/3 are programs run in 3 sessions for girls new to synchro age 6+ who have achieved Red Cross Swim Kids Level 5. Swimmers will learn basic skills and a routine to music.

Advanced is for swimmers with at least one year synchro experience who have achieved their Swim Synchro 3 badge. Swimmers will be challenged to develop new, more difficult skills and progress through the Swim Synchro program with their Swim Synchro 4, 5 and 6 badges. Swimmers will perform in a club watershow and the Rec Extravaganza.

Pre-Competitive is for swimmers interested in learning more about synchro as a competitive sport. Swimmers will prepare for and participate in novice competitions, including the Rec Extravaganza and club watershows. They will also work on their Synchro Star levels which includes testing for their Synchro Star Pins.

Adult Beginner 1/2/3 are programs run in 3 sessions for women aged 18 and older who are new to synchro or have limited experience. Beginner serves as an introduction to the sport where swimmers will be taught basic skills and learn a routine to music. Improving aspects of fitness including flexibility, strength and endurance are a key focuses of this program.
