Could you develop to be a member of the British synchronised swimming squad? Would you like to see how easy some of the starting figures are to learn? In order to join our club and try synchro all we ask is that you are competent swimmer able to swim a width of any stroke. You must also be happy to put your face into the water and be confident in the deep end of the pool.

The course lasts for 10 sessions, the cost is £40 which includes insurance, a hat and a noseclip. Courses are held at HMS Temeraire, Burnaby Road, Portsmouth, PO1 2HB.
