Synchronised Swimming

The unique synchronised swimming group initially formed to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of Henleaze Swimming Lake, it consists of 80 people aged between 11-76 and of mixed genders, who were once strangers. Over time this group has created a space where strong friendships have formed, enabling them to share.

This is representational of their relationships; with one another and to the challenging environment. Working as a team and within the water has substantial benefits for mental and physical wellbeing. Water immersion releases Oxytocin providing a feeling of calm and positivity, which allows bonds to form at a deeper level.
