​1. Whether you want to go to the Olympics, earn a college scholarship, or just learn a few basics of synchronized swimming while having fun, this program will provide you with a good introduction and a good, solid foundation.

2. A major portion of the program is a community service.* There is no monthly fee, no per-practice fee, no lesson fee, and for this pool, there is no pool fee. (So far, most pool practices are at a home pool--4521 Joyce Boulevard, Houston, 77084. If a practice is held at another pool, that pool may charge a fee.)

* Why is this a community service? Helping people participate in healthy physical activity contributes to a healthier population. In addition, improved water skills increase water safety in every community, and good exercise and good safety skills provide increased water fun.

​3. Parents will be fully involved in program activities in a variety of roles.

==> All parents will find and create their own special ways to share their talents, skills, and interests. <==
==> All swimmers will have a parent poolside at all practices and events. <==
==> For newcomers, the poolside parent typically will be the swimmer's own parent. <==
==> Majors occasionally may have one parent serve as responsible adult for several participants. <==

​4. Everyone in a community can find multiple ways to share in making this service possible whether you are a parent, an older teen, a retiree, or any other individual interested in volunteering to serve your community. 

5. Personal responsibility including making and fulfilling commitments is the “gold standard” for this program.
