Histoire administrative

The Synchonette Swim Club was established in 1957. Between the years of 1957 and 1986, the Synchronettes produced an annual swim show on campus that was open to the public. The main objective of the club was to demonstrate that physical activity and exercise could be both fun and entertaining.

The swim shows put on by the club had a variety of themes related to the zodiac, Broadway musicals, fairy tales, and comic strips. The club created the concept, storyline, choreography, and sets for each show, all based from the earnings from the show held the previous year.

The Synchronettes disbanded in 1988 due to lack of active members.
