Wynberg is one of very few schools that offers Synchronised Swimming as an extra-mural.

Synchronized swimming is a hybrid form of swimming, dance and gymnastics, consisting of swimmers (either solos, duets, trios, or teams) performing a synchronized routine of elaborate moves in the water, accompanied by music. Synchronized swimming demands advanced water skills, and requires great strength, endurance, flexibility, grace, artistry and precise timing, as well as exceptional breath control when upside down underwater.

Wynberg is honoured to have a history of synchronized swimmers as learners, staff and parents.
