The Southern Nevada Desert Mermaids, the only competitive synchronized swim team in the state, is gearing up for the annual water show Beach Party Splash 2007, to be held next month at the Pavilion Center Pool at Palo Verde High School in Summerlin.

This year's show will have some special guests. Members of the 2008 U.S. Olympic synchronized swimming team will perform at the event, alongside the 7- to 17-year-olds that make up the Desert Mermaids squad.
