The Fort Collins Summer Synchro Team is a 40 year-old tradition at our pool that started in the early 1970’s at Village Green Pool. When Foothills Green Pool was completed a couple of years later, the two pools agreed that the speed swimming team would practice at VG, and the synchro team at FG. Member kids of either pool could join either team. Since then, both teams have opened their membership to all youth in the Fort Collins area, with pool non-members paying more to join one of the teams.

 

 

 

 

The synchro team is a member of the Rocky Mountain Summer Synchro League, and is the only summer synchro team in all of northern Colorado. They compete four times and hold free water shows, one at FG and one at VG, each season.

The team is also member of United States Synchronized Swimming, which provides $1M liability coverage for all swimmers and coaches at our pool. Coaches and parents of the swimmers who are not pool members also sign our liability waiver. An adult FG Pool member opens and closes the pool and remains at the pool during the practices, and fills out and signs our private event (usually referred to as a “pool party”)request form. The synchro team provides the USA Synchro member certified lifeguards for each practice

Splash is a pool management company we contract with to open, close, maintain the pool, provide lifeguards and manage the pools operation.

If you plan on having more than 6 guests please contact the pool manager at least one week in advance of your gathering to ensure adequate staffing.
