History

The company was founded by Mesha Kussman,[7] a graduate of New York University (Experimental Theater Wing) in 2008 with the intention to enliven the Hollywood Pool Party scene with water entertainment. The initial company included a combination of former National Team swimmers and dancers who trained in swimming. The company's first residency was at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.[8]

In January 2010, Aqualillies launched synchronized swimming fitness classes[9] at the Annenberg Community Beach House[10] (among other locations), offering training in basic synchronized swimming skills.[11]
