Synchro Belles

Artistic Swimming season is aligned to the school calendar year. Practice begins when school starts in August, and our competitive ends as school wraps up at the beginning of summer.

We typically accept new swimmers from July until sometime in October. A summer camp is often part of our schedule and is a great way to be introduced into the world of Artistic Swimming (formerly known as Synchronized Swimming).

There are three levels that are in the Synchro Belles.

Novice. This is the beginning level of Artistic swimming. It is expected that anyone starting at the Novice level be able to swim unassisted.
Intermediate. More advanced than Novice, but still learning the sport. "Level 1 Testing" will give a good idea of expectations to be an Intermediate Artistic Swimmer.
Junior Olympic (J.O.) - also known as "Age Group." This group has passed "Level 1" and "Level 2"
There are no age requirements for the various teams, they are typically sorted by skill and ability. We have had 4 year old to 16 year old Novice, and have had 10 year old JO swimmers all the way up to 18 years old.
