Recreational Program
The Recreational Program is for swimmers with little or no
synchro experience who wish to learn the sport, or those looking for an alternative to traditional swimming lessons. Participants are introduced to the fundamental sculls, basic figures and various routine components of early synchronized swimming, in addition to other disciplines aimed at improving strength, coordination and flexibility. A minimum level of AquaQuest 7 (Swimmer 4) or equivalent is required.

Recreational swimmers participate in the National Synchro Canada Star Program, and perform their routines at Ottawa Synchro’s end-of-season Watershows.
