the sinkers: calling for participants
come Join The sinkers: the Sunshine coast’s most underwhelming synchronised swimming club
We’re on the hunt for 30 below-average splashers to perform at Horizon Festival 2022.
The Sinkers are the Sunshine Coast’s most underwhelming synchronised swimming club.
Our shows welcome everyone and aim to connect the coast through humour and refreshing entertainment.
We’re a community of bona fide fun chasers. We’re grandparents; photographers; chippies; coastal newcomers; old school locals; mothers; dancers; marketing professionals; and creatives — and we’re looking for more below-average splashers.
The Sinkers are in sync. Not just in the water, but in life too. You see, when like-minded people connect, you’ll always stay afloat.
Come and pop your floaties on.
