Artistic Swimming with Out To Swim London Angels
In April 2009, Out To Swim added a fourth discipline to its aquatic repertoire: Artistic Swimming (formally called Synchronised Swimming).
The Out To Swim Artistic Swimming team is known as the Angels. We are a mixed gender group of various ages, abilities and backgrounds. We compete in the UK and internationally and perform occasional displays.
Some recent achievements of the combination team include gold and silver medals at the National Masters Championships, various medals at Tournoi International de Paris and a gold medal at the Gay Games in Cologne.
Out to Swim was the first club to field a mixed duet at a Masters competition in the UK. Some of our members have also featured in movies about Men’s Artistic Swimming, including the British film, Swimming with Men.
Training
We train twice a week at the Queen Mother Sports Centre. Please see our schedule below.
Artistic swimming develops advanced water skills, including strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination and precise timing, as well as breath control. Many swimmers come to us wanting to try something different and to take on a new challenge.
Although it helps to have experience in aquatic sport, dance or gymnastics, most of our swimmers are entirely new to these sports and slightly apprehensive on their first visit.
How to Join
Our aim is to provide coached artistic swimming to men and women, for those who want to take part in the sport for general fitness, as well as for those who want to train for competition. We were the first swimming club in the UK to offer the sport to both men and women.
