As Masters swimmers we have busy schedules, as you can imagine; however, we apologize for not updating our website with information for the first half of our 2010-2011 swim season. We most certainly have exciting news and pictures to share from both the 2010 Canadian Masters Nationals which we hosted, and the U.S. Nationals which we attended in Los Angeles.

Please do visit our website again soon to hear about our adventures from these past few months, and to find out more about what’s in store for our year ahead!

Halfway through the season!

With Provincials taking place a couple of weeks ago, another successful competition is under our belts. With only a few short minutes between our tech swim and free warm up, everyone was worried about how our conditioning would hold up. But, we pulled through and had two great swims (not to mention some great scores!). It’s amazing how helpful underwater pool lights are for patterns. Our newest team member, Patricia not only competed in her first ever Masters competition, but did it while sick. Great job, Patricia! We’re now getting down to work preparing for Nationals (less two months away – yikes!). In a word: runthroughs. Lots and lots of runthroughs!

2010 Update

It’s exciting times at Vancouver Masters Synchro! We had a very successful first competition of the season. The team had two good swims, and an especially good first half of free. Two judges even ranked us first! We had two new members competing with us for the first time, and they did great. A special shout out to Lucy, who just completed her first-ever synchro meet! The duet also had two awesome swims, made even more remarkable considering that half the duet is eight months pregnant! In a surprising turn of events, our duet wasn’t the only pregnant duo of the competition. Us masters swimmers are a tough bunch.

In other news, we are the official hosts of the 2010 Canadian Masters Nationals. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but with teams from across Canada and the US already signed up, it’s shaping up to be a great competition!
