| THE
TARPON SHARKS CLUB |
| Swimmers are invited to audition for
Tarpon Sharks, a synchronized swimming group. Rehearsing
from fall to spring in Converse's heated indoor pool, each
Tarpon Shark member choreographs pieces to be performed
in the annual show. In addition, last year the Tarpon
Sharks had 12 members join the USA Synchro Organization,
allowing the club to compete with other colleges in the
South.
Membership tryouts are scheduled in the Fall term.
Following is a list of figures and other requirements that prospective members must
perform.
- front dive
- under water swimming
- breast stroke
 front crawl (free-style) stroke- back stroke
- foot first scull
- head first scull
- ballet leg
- kip
- porpoise
- underwater handstand
- back dolphin
- swim to music (front crawl stroke)
Students who are interested in trying out may come to
the pool during regular swim times and talk with or
practice with a member.
Tarpon Shark members have the opportunity to attend workshops at other colleges.
They also participate in writing, choreographing, and directing the water show in the
spring.
