Eastern Ontario Synchronized Skating
Synchronized skating, a large and fast-growing discipline, consists of 8—20 (the number of skaters on a team often depends on the level) athletes skating on ice at one time moving as one flowing unit at high speed. This discipline of figure skating was originally called precision skating in North America because of the emphasis on maintaining precise formations and timing of the group. For a synchronized team to flow in unison, individual skaters must be competent at a variety of skating skills, including speed, footwork and ice presence. The team performs a program set to music, with required formations including circles, lines, blocks, wheels, and intersections.
Skate Canada’s SynchroSkate program offers adult skaters the opportunity to participate in the discipline as well. With three adult categories, skaters of all skill levels and experience may join a team and compete at various club, interclub, invitational and regional competitions.
