Portie swimmers seek to "synchronize" competition funds

The Port Antonio Synchronized Swimming Team is seeking sponsorship in exchange for
spectacular synchronized swimming water shows! Synchronized swimming is a hybrid form of
swimming, dance and gymnastics, consisting of swimmers performing a synchronized routine
of elaborate moves in the water, accompanied by music.

The synchronized swimming team consists of 6 swimmers who are all coached by two time
Russian Olympic Gold medalist, Olga Novokshenova. Beside her Olympic and European
championship gold medals, she has been able to achieve unprecedented accreditation in
synchronized swimming in Jamaica.

Synchronized swimming is a demanding sport and the team undergoes extreme training
intricately designed by the seasoned Russian Olympian.    They dedicate many hours per week
with the long range goal of becoming Jamaica’s own Olympics-worthy synchronized swimming team.

This year the team qualified to represent Jamaica in the CARIFTA Swimming Championship. In
an effort to develop our team’s international experience. The organizers are now gathering funds to
to send the team to the United States regional meet in California, scheduled for May 18‐
20, 2012. Coach Olga had picked this meet as it will expose the team to the strongest
synchronized swimmers in the United States.
