SL Synchro Cup Open: A Proven Springboard for Champions – past participants include Olympic stars as well as World & European medalists
General information:
The SL Synchro Cup Open is an international competition of artistic swimming, formerly referred to as synchronized swimming. The SL Synchro Cup Open, which is being organized yearly in the heart of Luxembourg, debuted in 1991. Since then, Swimming Luxembourg welcomed over 20 different nations, 100 different clubs and far over 15.000 swimmers and spectators. Swimming Luxembourg is proud to welcome not only athletes of the categories 12&under, Youth (13-15 years old) and Juniors (16-19 years old), but also Beginners as they are our youngest swimmers that have never competed before. Offering this wide range of age categories to compete during one competition, SL Synchro Cup Open is often being referred to as an event that has a unique family-like-atmosphere.
