KW Synchro Welcomes Olympic Coach to our Pool!
KW is proud to announce that the current Assistant Coach of Team Canada Synchro, Meng Chen, will be spending the weekend with our coaches and athletes on the pool deck!
Meng is currently living in Montreal where she works full-time preparing Canada’s top synchronized swimmers for the London Olympics. Meng has worked as a synchro coach and athlete for many years, including five years as a National Team Coach in Malaysia. Originally from Beijing, Meng also spent several years as a member of China’s Junior and Senior National Teams.
All swimmers (from our pre-competitive athletes, right up to our National-level high-performance team) will be able to work with Meng on the pool deck this weekend.
This is sure to be an incredible experience for these young athletes, and we hope they will all be inspired by Meng’s visit!

Congratulations Team Canada!
Former KW Synchro Coach & Swimmer, Rachel Kowalski, traveled with Team Canada to Beijiing last week to compete in the 2011 FINA World Trophy event.
Team Canada competed in several events, including an acrobatic/highlight routine, free routine, duet, and combo routine. The girls looked spectacular, placing THIRD out of the entire competition! (including a bronze in the free routine and a silver in combo).
