Loreleis Artistic Swimming

The mission of YCF Loreleis is to develop athletes in the sport of synchronized swimming through teamwork, respect and dedication. Our coaches teach athletes lifelong skills including discipline, self-confidence and team work. Synchronized swimming is a hybrid form of swimming, dance and gymnastics, consisting of swimmers performing an elaborate routine in the water, accompanied by music. Synchro requires a unique combination of overall body strength and agility, grace and beauty, split-second timing, musical interpretation, stamina and dramatic flair. The structure of each practice for our swimmers varies, but essentially incorporates exercises in and out of the water to develop their aerobic and anaerobic abilities, as well as, muscular fitness to build strength, endurance, speed, power, balance, flexibility and agility. Synchronized swimming is a very demanding sport requiring hard work, dedication and self- discipline.
