Classes for Beginners

We offer artistic swimming classes for adults in the DC area who are interested in artistic swimming (formerly synchronized swimming). Our 2026 class is anticipated to take place this summer. Email dcsynchromasters1@gmail.com to be added to our list and we'll send more details when we can.

Classes will start with the basics and build on each other into a short routine. You’ll learn:

* Sculls
* Pinwheels
* Bent knees
* Ballet legs
* and more!

Instructors have 20+ years experience in the sport.

Price: $125 includes 5 classes, a swim cap, a noseclip, a USA Synchro trial membership (for insurance reasons) and pool entry. Drop-in classes are $30/class plus a $19 one-time trial membership.

All ages (20+) and genders are welcome. Our team spans ages 20 to 70+.

The class will take place in the deep end of the pool. You need to be able to swim a lap of the pool (100m) and tread water for one minute.
