Synchronized Swimming

Synchronized swimming is an outstanding all-around development sport that
combines athletic prowess in graceful movements together with a full range
of musical appreciation and choreography. The Sculpins Synchronized Swim
Team has been developing synchronized swimmers in the Capital District since
1974 and have recently become affiliated with the YMCA. Beginning in the
fall, the Sculpins will be practicing at all of the Capital District YMCA pools. In
addition, they will be organizing an instructional program at each YMCA.
Girls, boys, young women and young men ages six to nineteen are eligible.
