In the final event, and the final swim of the whole day, our Youth swimmers performed their “Cruella De Ville” routine and finished with a huge score of 151.4350 and a BASEMARK-FREE SWIM which meant they were crowned National Youth Combo Champions!

Salford’s Artistic Swimmers finished Day 1 as Double National Champions!

The perfect beginner’s group for those looking to explore the world of Artistic Swimming!

Sessions focus on teaching swimmers the basic techniques of the sport. Swimmers will have fun learning routines and can progress through our Synchro development pathway to eventually join the competitive squads that participate at regional and national levels.

To join Synchro Mermaids, swimmers should be able to swim two lengths of 50m (2 lengths) confidently and feel comfortable underwater (performing handstands, forward rolls, etc).

There are no age restrictions, but typically, children between 7-12 years old can join this group. Boys and girls are welcome to participate.

If your child is currently in mainstream lessons (must be stage 5 upwards), reach out to your local leisure centre to make the switch to Synchro Mermaids.
