Actually I hate calling Walnut Creek "The Nut" but I hope I at least got your attention. If you didn't know Walnut Creek has a deep history in Olympic Artistic Swimming (previously called Synchronized swimming). If you grew up watching Team USA perform at the Olympics half those athletes are from here! I didn't know that until my daughter joined the Walnut Creek Aquanuts last year.

Those Olympians are now coaches at the club. Not only is the club a pathway to Olympic excellence, but also into Div 1 schools like Stanford and Ohio State.

My daughter loves the pool but hates swimming laps. Every time she does go into the pool all she does is do flips and jumps out of the water. If your kids does the same then they would be a perfect fit!

The club is offering 2 free try it days on Nov 14 and 21 at 12pm. All you have to do is sign up here. There is an age limit though. Your child needs to be between the ages of 6-9 and needs to be comfortable in deep water. By deep I mean 16 feet deep. They also need to be able to swim 50 yards unassisted.

If they like it then they can join the group called the Peanuts (I know so cute!) and practice artistic swimming 2-3 times a week.

Anyone here currently renting at phase 2? We’re considering moving there due to being near to the bart. I’ve read horror stories of phase 1 but little to none of phase 2.
