The Synchro Club ‘Small Strokes’ began with two swimmers having fun and ‘playing’ with ideas and little shows in a small, shallow pool at Weedons, Selwyn. Four years later, they had four swimmers (enough for a small team) and began to compete at South Island Championships. Synchronised Swimming is a difficult, technical sport and the girls were very young (seven and eight years old). After outgrowing the original pool they then moved to a deeper, bigger one and the Club started to gain more swimmers and do well at competitions. Small Strokes now have twenty five swimmers, four coaches and four judges, of which they are very proud. In 2018 the Club had two Selwyn girls selected for the New Zealand High Performance Squad - Alessandra Ward and Tia Betteridge. Betteridge They worked extremely hard (seven hours per day), every holidays, in New Zealand Camps, as well as their
normal Club practices and both made the travelling team to Singapore and Malaysia in 2018. Ten swimmers, from all over the country, were chosen to travel with this team, and in Singapore they achieved fourth placing. The team then went on to Malaysia to the 2018 Open Asian Championships and won Gold Medals. “We are very pleased this year to have five girls selected in the NZ High Performance Squads: Tia Betteridge, Kaitlyn Allison (from Selwyn) and Daisy Sellier and Hannah Shatford from Christchurch, are in the Pikopiko Development Squad (11-15 years) and Selwyn’s Alessandra Ward, in the Koru Squad (15-19 years). Alessandra is our most senior swimmer, and one of the original founding members. This year she has been training with the Aquaferns - our Open New Zealand competitors. Later this year, New Zealand selectors will choose nine swimmers from the two squads to compete in the

in a short period of time. I would like to wish them all good luck.
Joan Billing, Head Coach.
