If you’re curious about artistic (synchronized) swimming and what it can offer your child, here are three reasons they will love it:
THEY WIll learn to love exercise (if THEY dO NOt already!).
If your son or daughter loves gymnastics, swimming, and dancing, artistic swimming is the perfect blend of all three! Swimming is a life-long sport that supports our physical as well as mental health and well being throughout our lifetimes. What a gift to learn from a young age that they can exercise and love it. And, exercise and team sports teach girls confidence and positive body images.
They’ll make friends for life.
Artistic swimming teammates tend to become fast (and long-lasting) friends. The Cygnets of San Antonio come from all areas of town and although many of these athletes don’t attend the same schools, they stay in touch all year long and get together often. They look forward to practice because they know they’ll have fun working hard together. The bond of synchro sisters and brothers runs deep!
THEY’ll learn a competitive sport that’s both team and individually motivated.
Swimmers compete in figures and solos (which are individual) and routines (which are team-based), giving athlets all the advantages of a team sport (learning teamwork, responsibility, and respect) while also allowing them to work on their own skills and grow as individual athletes.
