YMCA Central Florida Loreleis

A hybrid of swimming, gymnastics and ballet, synchronized swimming is a unique, competitive sport that is almost exclusively female.

It demands strength, endurance, flexibility, grace and artistry, along with exceptional breath control.Competition consists of artistic impression and technical merit, and is scored similarly to ice skating.

Team Orlando Loreleis offers local athletes, ages 7 and older, an opportunity to learn about and compete in this beautiful sport. Competition is held on the local, national and international level. The team operates under the rules of Florida Synchronized Swimming Inc. (FSSI) which is a division of United States Synchronized Swimming Inc (USSS).
