The Sunrise Swans Synchronized Swimming team has been in the Citrus Heights area since 1968. Its purpose is to foster and build teamwork, self-esteem, friendships, and synchronized swimming skills in young girls from the surrounding areas. Today, the Swans continue this proud tradition, as well as showcasing the talent and skills learned by each swimmer by presenting an annual Watershow as the highlight of our season Our Parents play a key role in the success of the team by managing the business aspect of running a competitive recreational sports team. It is without a doubt, that the team could not function without the support of the parents. As a competitive team, our swimmers practice incredibly hard, since the season is typically only 12 weeks long. The Sunrise Swans operates as an independent recreational team, however, we are affiliated with the local Valley-Foothill Competitive Aquatics League (VFCAL), and hold practices at the Sunrise Parks and recreational facility at Rusch Park Our team swimmers are classified in two levels: Novice and Intermediate. All swimmers start at the Novice level (unless petitioned and approved by VFCAL) and qualify for Intermediate level based on their figures placement at the all-team championships meet in July, at the end of the VFCAL season.
