The Sculpins Synchro club was established in the Capital District of NY in 1973 and has been training and developing artistic swimmers ever since. Our swimmers come from communities throughout the Capital District and range in age from 7 to 18. We train at the Troy
Boys and Girls Club on 7th Ave. one to four times a week depending on swimmer’s age, interest level, and ability.
Artistic swimming, originally called water ballet, and then synchronized swimming, is a sport which combines swimming and dance. To compete, swimmers perform solo, duet, trio, team, or combo routines. All routines begin on the pool deck but quickly move to the water, where
swimmers show off their artistry, flexibility, strength, and endurance. Routines are synchronized to music and must include certain components depending on the level of competition. Our coaching philosophy emphasizes both personal and team development. It integrates the
physical and mental aspects of the sport to provide an experience that will benefit the swimmers throughout their lives. Swimmers of all ability levels are welcome to join The Sculpins.
In 2023, The Sculpins Synchro club will offer a free Try it program that will run for four Sundays in October that is open to new swimmers beginning on October 1st at the Troy Boys and Girls Club. We ask that participants be able to attend 4 classes in order to complete the program.
Once the classes are completed the swimmer can then decide if they would continue on to join the Sculpins Novice team this year. Please email sculpinsinfo@gmail.com, or visit our website http://www.sculpinssynchro.org/try-synchro to sign up for the free Try it program or for more
information.
Sculpins Synchro is a parent and volunteer-run 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
