Synchronised Swimming Challenge

Reckon you’ve got what it takes?

Synchronised swimming is a hybrid form of swimming, dance and gymnastics, consisting of swimmers performing an elaborate routine in perfect synchronisation, accompanied by music.

Gather a group of friends and set yourselves the challenge to learn how to synchronise swim and put together a routine that will eventually be performed to an audience. The challenge is to learn a routine before the big performance day and encourage supporters to sponsor you all for the challenge in aid of the East Cheshire Hospice.
