Synchro Team

synchro

Orchard Hills Athletic Club (2300 Yorktown) sponsors a Synchronized Swimming program in the summer. When school is out, it starts with a two week session of lessons to teach synchronized swimming skills (all levels). After a one week break, they start a month long session of preparation for a synchronized swimming show presented in August.


The show will have music and simple costumes to reflect a theme selected each year. Our members and anyone who wants to attend are invited to the show. For a modest fee, you can take the lessons and/or participate in the show without being a club member. The program is a good way to practice your synchro skills over the summer and have fun with friends while doing it.

Schedule and fees for the synchronized swimming program:

Informational meeting for parents
5/286:30pm at OHAC pool
Lesson session
6/16/ to 6/27
noon-12:30, 12:30-1:00 (Mon.-Fri.)
