Synchro Competition Hair Preparation
Synchro competitions require that swimmers have their hair gelled for a routine. It is often better to arrive already prepared to save time at the competition. There will be a gel demonstration and practice session on Sunday 22nd September at 6:15pm as part of the regular Leyland training session. Please let Fiona know if you will be attending.
Congratulations to CoPA’s new Assistant Synchro Coaches!
Congratulations to our synchro coaches Candice, Carol and Sarah who have successfully completed the Swim England Assistant Coach qualification.
