At Windermere, we have a strong synchro community!  Athletes will be divided up into teams according to age and ability at the beginning of the summer, and the training schedule for each team will vary.  Coaches will help the athlete develop skills while building a routine, which they will compete on August 18th at the ALPS synchro finals.

​

*All athletes will be required to purchase a team bathing suit.  They will fundraise throughout the summer to help cover part of the cost.

Our waterpolo teams range in ability from beginner to seasoned athlete!  The coaches will teach athletes the rules and skills required! This is a great place to build friendships and learn teamwork.

WAC gym is unique to Windermere – we take all our athletes out the field each day to play sports and games of all kinds, no skills required! Come join in the fun every day before swim team!

Our leaders program features a way for pre-teens and teens to gain responsibility around the pool, make friends and participate in group activities, on their way to becoming lifeguards one day!  They help with various programs as assistants (babysitting, lesson assistants, WAC gym animators) to the lifeguards, and fundraise toward social activities!
