Walnut Creek Aquanuts synchronized swim team performs at Cinema Magic
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — I had the pleasure of attending the Walnut Creek Aquanuts Fall Show called “Cinema Magic” last month. It was a spectacular artistic swimming show starring the entire WCA club of 100 athletes along with special guest performers from the Spanish National Team. The fully staged production, complete with lighting and glittering costumes, was incredible and great for all ages!
The Walnut Creek Aquanuts have been training athletes since 1968. Their mission statement is to develop athletes from novice to elite, building both bodies and minds and instilling skills that will serve our swimmers throughout their lifetime. Aquanuts strive to develop elite athletes and those with a passion for the sport of artistic swimming. The Aquanuts have a long history of competing in and training Olympic athletes. In addition to having produced 8 Olympic Champions and 16 U.S. Olympic Athletes, the Aquanuts have trained over 30 Olympians from countries all over the world including Japan, Korea, Czech Republic, Brazil and Mexico. Athletes come from all over the world to Walnut Creek to practice among elite athletes and train under a world-renowned coaching staff.
If you know of a child who might be interested in learning more about artistic swimming, there are recreational programs for boys and girls. They also host free ‘try it days’ from May through September for people to just come and try artistic swimming for a day.
