Club History

History of our Club

In March 1999, the Sestao Synchronized Swimming Sports Club was founded, following a resolution by the Most Illustrious Director of Sports of the Basque Government on the 11th of the aforementioned month and year.

The first general meeting took place on April 18, 1999, where the Club's main objectives were agreed upon.

Increase female participation in sport.
To promote and publicize Synchronized Swimming.

In those years in which it was founded and launched, with clear and concise objectives, it was led as President by Mr. José Alfonso Díez, current Head of Aquatic Activities in the Sports Department of Sestao City Council.

The Club's first summer exhibition was held in June 1999 and a trip to the city of Valladolid in July, ending that short but intense initial season of the Club and School.

At the end of that same year, the first magazine of the Club was created, called "Sirenas Sincro Sestao", where all the activities related to it were made known, as well as the School, Swimmers, History of Synchronized Swimming, Sports and Nutrition, etc.

In 2000, the first Synchronized Swimming Championship in the Basque Country was held, consolidating itself as the first federated competition and where our first swimmers received their first reward with medals from the Federation itself.

Since those years until today, there have been numerous exhibitions held in various places in Spain, in which the Fabio Nelli Tournament in Valladolid stands out, because it brought together the best Synchronized Swimming sports clubs from all over Spain, clubs such as Sincro Retiro, Sincro Aviles, Fabio Nelli, etc. and from which new training systems and sports disciplines were learned.

Since then, there have been and continue to be many girls who have passed through this Club, many exhibitions have been held, many Championships have been won both in the Basque Country and in Bizkaia, highlighting above all, the work of the Club that has been and is being carried out with the girls of our Municipality and of the surrounding Municipalities, promoting Women's Sport, education and sports discipline for each and every one of our athletes.
