Intermediate

(Age 11-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18&over) The intermediate level is a program for swimmers who have mastered novice level skills. This program serves two purposes: (1) It prepares a swimmer for entry into the advanced program and (2) It is also for swimmers who enjoy the sport of synchronized swimming but do not want to make the commitment involved in the advanced track. Competitions consist of four required figures and/or technical routines. All intermediate swimmers must perform required technical elements in their routines in a certain order within a specified time limit. Music can vary, as well as choreography between elements. All movements must be synchronized except for the cadence element in team routines. Experienced swimmers who do not want to make the commitment required at the advanced level, can continue to be challenged at the intermediate level by adding difficulty to the choreography in the sections in the routine which link the required elements.
