The Penn State Club Synchro Team meets to practice year round. Fall semester consists of getting to know each other, teaching new members basic synchro moves and practicing figures for competitions. Mid-Fall semester we begin choreographing and learning routines that will be swam at competitions.
The spring semester is our competitive portion of the season. The team will be working really hard on the routines and figures at this point and taking them to four competitions, two of which will be regionals and nationals. Finally, after the competitive season is over, the team will showcase an end of the year Friends and Family Water Show, sometime in April! During this time the team will swim all routines brought to competitions, a routine created post-competitive season with all members involved, and the show will include any extra routines that members feel ambitious enough to swim for the show.
The synchro team here at Penn State is a competitive club team. As a team we try to gain skills and ability within the sport of synchronized swimming, but at the same time we want everyone to have fun learning something new (which is the majority of the members) and learn more and become better (which is for the more experienced members). So, if you are interested in joining in the future, you can contact us at: pennstatesynchro@gmail.com. Or you can stop by the club sports involvement fair during the start of the fall semester to look into joining.
