Synchro is Fun!

Do you like to Dance? How about Gymnastics or Swimming? What if you could combine all three of these things? How would you like to meet new friends and get fit together? Synchronized Swimming offers all of this and more!

Come join the World-Famous Calgary Aquabelles! We offer both a dedicated Recreational Pre-Competitive program as well as a Multi-Level Competitive program.

Our Pre-Competitive Program, based on the Synchro Canada Star program, teaches young girls the fundamentals, such as sculling, basic figures, and an introduction to putting their skills to music as a routine! No previous Synchro experience needed!

And for those with a more competitive streak in them, we offer two levels of competition: the Wildrose Provincial Age Class program as well as the National Age Group program. The competitive teams follow Synchro Canada’s Tier system with the Wildrose teams being Tiers 1-5 and the National teams being Tiers 6-7.
