LAST PRACTICE
Tomorrow is our LAST practice day before our performances which begin on FRIDAY! Be ready to SHINE! Make sure your hair is pulled out of your face and you are wearing a bathing suit that is appropriate and that fits well enough so that it won't be distracting. Bring your music so you can have a good "dress rehearsal."
ONE MORE PRACTICE DAY

THE PROCESS
1) Build stamina in the water and work on strokes.
2) Learn and practice stunts (entries, arms, formations, dolphin, shark, collapsing clam, tub, and ballet legs.)
3) Form groups of 4-5.
4) Select music: your group will need to select songs or parts of songs to choreograph your routine. Your group will need to provide it's own source for the music. Boom boxes, ipods, computers and other music sources are fine as long as you do not need an electrical outlet and the sound is loud enough. Garage Band can be used if you want.
5) Create a routine: The routine will include an introduction, body and conclusion. The intro. usually starts on the deck and includes some dancing. (15-30 seconds.) The body of the routine is where your group will perform all of the stunts and formations. The conclusion includes stunts as well but should demonstrate a definite ending to the routine. The conclusion can be in the pool or on the deck.

Nuts and Bolts of our Synchronized Swimming Unit
Goals:
1) To learn and practice stunts/skills used in synchronized swimming.
2) To create a routine which integrates music, dance and stunts.
3) To work within a group; communication, collaboration, and cooperation.
Participation in class is an integral part of this unit due to the emphasis on group work. If a student is unable to participate due to an injury or illness, it is expected that they will still contribute to the group in some limited way during the class session.
