Question 3

What is Dallas Synergy's training philosophy?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is to help swimmers develop a love of the sport through fun and entertaining practices starting with beginners up to competitive swimmers. Once our swimmers have developed the skills, we work with them to move into competing with the support of other team members and coaching staff. 
 
We believe that fun is an essential part of being an athlete, that is why we ensure our swimmers have many chances to participate in outside events and activities as a team. In the past these have included climbing sessions, craft classes and holiday gatherings.

Do you offer trial classes?

Yes, we offer a Come and Try session for new swimmers who are interested in the sport and would like to experience synchronized swimming. We also hold camps and try synchronized swimming sessions during school holidays and the summers. 
 
Please contact us at synchroinfo@northtexassynchro.org to arrange a trial camp or inquire about our other events.
