Electric Eels aiming for next year's World Championships

The Electric Eels Synchronised Swimming Club has set their sights on competing at next year’s Synchronised Swimming World Championships for swimmers with Down Syndrome.

Part of the Swim 21 Club Electric Eels, the synchro club launched in 2013 with the help of the English Synchro team. They are one of only four synchronised swimming clubs in the world for swimmers with Down Syndrome.
