Aged 30 to 66, this team of nine masters swimmers hit their stride when they found their 85-year-old coach
with Men, this fun-loving bunch of masters swimmers are now a retro-focused, synchronised swimming team of nine who are launching into a series of Christmas performances.“Like the movie, it was an inspiration to have people who were all different shapes and ages who could bond and have fun,” says one of the original members, Corinne Fabian. “When we are strutting poolside in our cossies we feel really good. When the music starts and there is an audience … woohoo! We love it.
Another Syncette, Helen Gould, says: “When we first teamed up with Elaine we did some great sessions learning the basics: sculling, floating, turning, holding your breath and swimming in a line. Elaine has been our biggest supporter and mentor.”
