ABOUT US

"WE LOVE SYNCHRO, WE SUCCEED AS A TEAM, AND WE HAVE FUN!"

OUR MISSION: To create excellent recreational and competitive synchronized swimming programs in Northern Colorado, which promote positive healthy development of the whole swimmer, supporting each swimmer’s individual goals, through participation and achievement in team oriented instruction and training in the art and sport of synchronized swimming.

OUR VALUES:

Joyfully welcoming all who discover that they enjoy the athleticism and artistry of “synchro”.

Supporting and encouraging each other by striving to be great instructors, coaches, parents, mentors, and friends.

Deriving personal and team success from healthy relationships, clear communication, responsibility, discipline, commitment, and a sense of humor.

Requiring all creative expression to be done in good taste.

Valuing competition for the learning experience and motivational goal it provides.

Honoring the gifts and talents that each coach, swimmer and family brings to our programs, as well as the need for us all to find balance in our lives.

Treating each other with respect and kindness at all times.

Behaving with integrity and making decisions cooperatively.
