The Edmonton Nova Synchronized Swimming Club was founded in 1988 by Marnie MacDougall. Nova Synchro Club provides swimmers of all abilities the opportunity to achieve their personal best as individuals, athletes, and team members in a club environment that values respect, dedication, and sportsmanship. Nova's focus is to provide an opportunity for various levels of recreational and competitive swimmers to practise the sport of synchronized swimming. Swimmers develop discipline, confidence, and fitness in a positive, unique, supportive, and fun environment. Music is very much a part of synchronized swimming and is used creatively in all routines. Nova also prides itself on having a creative and well-trained coaching staff that facilitates the learning and development of all the swimmers.
Synchronized Swimming is a hybrid of swimming, gymnastics, and ballet. Synchro involves swimmers performing creative and unique routines to music either as teams, solos, duets, or "combo" groups. The goal is the illusion of effortlessness and grace. If your daughter loves the water, this is the sport to definitely get involved in.
