More than 900 swimmers from teams across the country are competing at the U.S. Junior Olympic Synchronized Swimming Championships, the largest synchro event in North America, from July 1-8 at the Riverside Aquatics Complex.
Swimmers will vie for medals in solo, duet and team in the 12 and under, 13-15, 16-17 and 18-19 age groups. Free combo will be held in the 13-15 and 16-19 divisions.
To qualify for the U.S. Junior Olympic Championships, swimmers have been competing in progressively more difficult meets in hopes of earning a spot to represent their region and club in Riverside.
Daily tickets can be purchased at the Riverside Aquatics Complex and are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and children under the age of 12 (children 2 and under are free).
