City of Preston Synchro Elite Squad

A squad of between six and ten synchronised swimmers will be selected for additional training. Swimmers must already be attending all current club sessions, have a good work ethic, be self-motivated, be prepared to take on extra individual training and be full of enthusiasm! Current attendance, attitude, results during 2017 and performance in the North West trials will contribute towards selection.

If selected there will be an additional monthly fee of approximately £15 to cover pool hire.

If you are interested and would like to be considered please see Fiona.

Membership Fees

All swimmers should have received a sheet with 2018 fees. Please can these be paid as soon as possible so that swimmers can be registered for 2018. Swimmers not registered are not insured for training and will not be able to take grades or enter competitions.
