What is the Aquarelles Synchro Club?
Who Can Join?
Coaches will group swimmers in similar age and ability groups. Groups will practice 2 to 4 times a week to work on specific skills. The team will put together a routine consisting of artistic and technical elements, dynamic transitions and hybrids. Coaches expect swimmers to come to practice ready to work hard, work as a member of a team, and maintain a positive attitude.
Swimmers train throughout the session improving flexibility, strength, technical figures and coordination. There are three kinds of routines: team routines, duets, and solos. Duets and solos are optional and require individualized training. The training culminates at the end of the season with a fun and entertaining water show open to the public, and competitive performance for our competing teams.
Rachel Sutch, Head Coach
Gabrielle Zabriskie, Coach
Gabrielle has been a synchronized swimmer for the past 17 years. She grew up in Quebec City, Canada, where she swam for Synchro Elite of Quebec Inc., one of the most successful Synchro Clubs in the country. She has been competing at the national level since 2002 and representing Canada in international championships since 2005. She moved to South Texas in 2011 to work as a professional synchronized swimmer and perform in “AZUL,” the white whale and dolphin show at SeaWorld.
Her coaching philosophy is that there’s no such thing as losing or winning. It’s all about self-accomplishment and self-growth. Hard work always brings good development, pride, and well-deserved rewards.
After 4 years of getting to know San Antonio, she took on the challenge to promote and make synchronized swimming a bigger and better community in this city. San Antonio has a great potential to become a leader in cities for synchronized swimming because of its multiple pool facilities, passion for swimming, and an existing synchro community. In September 2014, Gabrielle founded The Aquarelles Synchro Club, a new, growing, and hungry for success synchronized swimming club! She looks forward to many years of success and a great Aquarelles family where passion and team spirit shine.
Tina Greenlee, Coach
Tina began synchronized swimming back in her hometown of Rockford, IL. She attended clinics and camps as a child and joined her high school team, the Guilford Valkyries, in 2000. As a member of the Valkyries for all four years, she participated in 5-7 performances every spring during Show Week. These performances involved floor to ceiling murals, lighting, videography, emcees and skits, and ~10 routines. Her experience with the Guilford Valkyries is one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences of her childhood and really solidified her passion for the sport.
Claire Elliott, Coach
Claire spent >8 years in the pool as a water dancer. She started in her hometown, Savannah, GA, at age 9 for a local club team, The Savannah Synchro Sonics. She spent half of her childhood traveling and competing in nearly every state in the southeast and has a closet full of gold medals from every competitive category.
