Synchro Sisters Forever, Mermaid Dreams - Katie R reads form her book

WILL THEIR DREAM UNITE THEM FOREVER...OR TEAR THEM APART?

Chloe is a ballerina. Sophia loves gymnastics. Jenna is on the swim team. However, what these three best friends love most of all is playing together at the local pool. One day they discover a unique sport that combines all of their passions — Synchronized Swimming! But when the novice team tryouts don’t go quite as planned, at least one girl is left wondering if they will ever really become “synchro sisters forever”.

SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING IS AN OLYMIC SPORT that empowers young athletes by building their minds, bodies, character and social skills. However, the lack of awarness and participation threaten this beautiful sport’s prospects in the U.S. That is why the end of this book includes resources the allow readers to find a nearby club, learn fun tricks, and meet real synchronized swimmers!
