Do you already need to know synchro?
It helps to be comfortable in the water and to be a strong swimmer, but no synchro experience is necessary - we'll teach you!
Is there a tryout, or is enrollment guaranteed?
Our team is open to any girl interested. We allow you to come try it for the first 2 weeks before you pay the registration fees.
Do all ages and experience levels practice together?
We start the year practicing together to build skills of the new kids and for team building. Then, we break up into groups based on skill level, experience and age.
How long is your season?
We begin practicing in late September and continue until our show, which is the first Sunday in May.
When does your team practice?
Practices are on Sundays from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. We have a Saturday morning practice instead of Sunday on Easter weekend. And our dress rehearsal for our show is the Saturday before from 6:00 - 9:00 AM.
Does everyone get to participate in the show?
Everyone is part of the show and will swim at least 3 routines.
What fees are involved with joining, special team suits, or other gear?
There is a registration fee of approximately $170 (depends on where you live and if you belong to the Derry Township Recreation Center already). We purchase one team suit that is required (approximately $60-70) and other suits are voluntary. We will provide you with a cap and nose clip (~$10) and your daughter will likely want goggles (purchased on your own). However, we never want money to keep someone from joining, so we will be happy to work with you on payments issues.
