The decade old Synchronized Swimming Team here at BU practices six hours in the FitRec Pool and three hours on dry land per week and yet competes against Division I Varsity Level Programs from schools around the country.

You can see team members in action at their end-of-season show on Tuesday, April 5, at 8:30 p.m. at the FitRec Center competition pool for free.

Fighting for gym class

Lauren Davalla — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:44:25 +0000

The value of physical education in public schools across America is being scrutinized, particularly in inner-cities like Chicago and Boston. Many educators, like John McCarthy from the School of Education’s Institute for Athletic Coach Education, are fighting to keep P.E. programs in public school districts because they claim these programs help fight childhood obesity and raise students’ self-esteem. To hear more about the fight for gym class, please contact McCarthy at coaching@bu.edu or 617-353-0365.
