The coaching philosophy at Lakeshore is to stay focused on the spirit of summer swimming; swim meets are meant to be fun, and striving to win should never compromise that.  All our swimmers, no matter what level, will get equal attention in the water, and everybody will get a chance to compete in their favorite events during the regular season. We will be in Section B again this summer, and we’re looking forward to upholding Lakeshore’s reputation for competitive spirit and sportsmanship.  Go, Shore!

Again this summer at Lakeshore, we will be offering synchro lessons as well as a competitive program.  Beginners will enjoy the synchro lessons, where they can learn the basics of the sport.  The synchro team requires more dedication, as a routine will be put together and performed at competitions held near the end of the summer, around the first two weeks of August.  In the past years our teams, duets, and solos have been improving their standings at these competitions, and we hope to continue this trend during the coming summer. Our coaches are ready to offer a fun and exciting atmosphere for the swimmers, so come and make the best of your summer and join the Lakeshore Synchro Team!

Since the start of the program in 1992, we have grown in numbers and our team has had an increasing amount of success.  Our dedicated and well-trained coaching staff is there to help everyone progress throughout the season.  Water Polo is a great way to stay in shape, meet new people, and have fun all summer long.  We hope many of you will sign up and come out this year.
