Synchro Update: Sept 22, 2023

9/21/2023

We are in week #3 of the season and off to a great start!

Athletes have been going back to the basics, building strength, increasing conditioning and getting back into the swing of a new school year.
We've officially started to integrate choreography into each training session which means that attendance is crucial to swimmers feeling successful.

If your swimmer is unable to attend a training session, please send a message to their coach prior to training time. As a reminder, please schedule all appointments outside of training time - we want to maximize our time together!

Your squad's Parent Rep is standing by ready to answer questions or clarify anything if needed in the squad WhatsApp chats-- thanks, Everyone!

STAR Testing

The STAR Program was created by Canada Artistic Swimming as a skill progression certificate program to build a strong foundation in young synchro swimmers. Students perform a specific set of skills in front of judges who will then award certificates once the skills have been demonstrated at a passing standard.

Like many Caribbean programs, Cayman has adopted the STAR Program and have adapted it as the sport has progressed.
Utilizing STAR Testing ensures that all swimmers have a strong foundation in skills that will be expanded on throughout their time in the sport. This also allows coaches to determine areas where swimmers are strongest or might need extra attention.
*Swimmers must wear black suit & white cap

Visit iClassPro to register your swimmer
