Phoenixville YMCA Synchronized Swimming Team
Explore your passion for artistic swimming.
About the Team
Did you know the Phoenixville Y has a Synchronized/Artistic Swimming team? Often described as water ballet, synchronized swimming requires a unique combination of overall body strength and agility, grace and beauty, split-second timing, musical interpretation, stamina, and dramatic flair.
In synchronized/artistic swimming - each person contributes equally to give the routine its polished look. Synchronized swimming is taking sports to a whole new creative level with a new definition of team work. We help artistic swimmers focus on working together and helping each other during lessons and team practices. The main goal is to have fun and support each other.

Team Information
This team is available for kids and teens ages 6 - 20. Teams and age groups vary by number of interested participants. Evaluations are required to join the team and can be completed during lessons. Swimmers can join the team during December after fall lessons conclude. Each age group practices 3 nights per week.
Our season is ten months long. From September to December, the swimmers are training and learning routines. From January to June, the team is learning new skills.
Lesson Information
Synchronized/artistic swimming is a team sport, even during lessons. We offer two levels of lessons: beginner and advanced. In the beginner class we teach each swimmer all the basic building blocks of the sport.
To move on to advanced lessons, we look for a swimmer who shows several basic skills: body control, body extension, endurance, and attention.
Before joining the team, we prefer swimmers exceed the advanced lesson criteria. The Y offers monthly lesson options for interested swimmers.
