How long have you been with Eastern Sirens?
Why did you join and what do you like about artistic swimming?
I have very fond memories of the time when I did approximately 3 years of synchro more than 35 years ago. When I heard about Eastern Sirens, I brought my daughter for a trial term, but she didn’t stay because she thought the water was too cold ;) Prateeti mentioned a recreational class for adults and here I am in 2026 ;) I love everything about synchro, especially being upside down in the water or laughing and water-dancing with my fellow masters swimmers. I also really enjoy being lifter or thrown up in the air.
What has your journey been like so far? Have there been any challenges?
I never thought I’d be an adult competitive synchro athlete with a medal hanger that has no free space left! ;) My first national medal was for a free solo and it was won via video because we were not allowed to travel and compete in person. My only challenge is being cold but I’ve found ways to deal with it (highly recommend 2 extra towels and bathers during comps plus a thermos with hot tea!)
What are you looking forward to this season?
