GB synchro perform for Cable & Wireless Worldwide

Aquabatix provided the Great Britain Synchronised Swimming Team powered by British Gas to perform at the Cable & Wireless Worldwide, Silver Lining Solutions and Ember Consulting seminar at the Haymarket Hotel on Tuesday 8 February 2011.

The seminar was held in the fantastic event space surrounding the swimming pool and focused on the similarities between performance in elite sport and business. The GB synchro team, who are in preparations for next year's Olympic Games, illustrated keywords such as power, endurance and flexibility before performing one of their team routines. Olympians Jenna Randall and Olivia Allison then took to the pool showing off their brand new duet routine.

Adele Carlsen, High Performance Manager of the GB team, gave a guest speech to the audience on the daily demands of the Great Britain synchro squad and how they relate with the business world.

"We were delighted to have the GB Synchro Team perform at our recent event - it was truly amazing and enjoyed by everyone. With Adele, the High Performance Manager for the team, describing the techniques followed by an incredible team performance - it was an unforgettable experience. And importantly, from a business angle, it helped support our key messages focusing on strength, performance and stamina. The team were exceptional and Adele's speech inspiring. Thank you."
