The Windjammers synchronized skating teams represent Lake Minnetonka FSC in Minnetonka, Minnesota proudly at events throughout the US both in USFS and ISI events.
Our new Junior team skated to a 10th place finish at the USFS National Championships for 2008, after posting a 4th place medal winning finish at Midwesterns. The Intermediate team also participated in the Midwestern qualifying event for the first time, skating very well. Additionally, all teams medalled repeatedly at area events. The coming season promises to be even more successful. With our adopting of one name for all teams we are truly a team that "beats with one heart".
