Meet the Syncettes: Darwin’s old-school, in-demand synchronised swimming squad

Aged 30 to 66, these nine masters swimmers hit their stride when they found an 85-year-old coach

The Syncettes began in 2019 as a group of five swimming friends who met in the latte lane" of their local swimming club in the Darwin suburb of Fannie Bay.

Inspired by the British comedy film Swimming with Men, this fun-loving bunch of masters swimmers are now a retro-focused, synchronised swimming team of nine who are launching into a series of Christmas performances.
