Guys Discovering Synchro...........And Discovering How Hard it Is

[Mollyk]

In one of my novice recreational synchro classes, I have five guys that come out to try the sport.

Two are former competitive swimmers.

All were discouraged because the sport was labelled just for females.

This fellow who is learning synchro would find it easier if he was not wearing that baggy swimming suit.

He also is not that confident in the water.

His synchro lesson suffers because he is wearing those baggy trunks the fellows try to swim in.

Mixed duets have added so much to synchro.

When I was on high school diving team, the synchronized swimmers had the pool after our practices.

Would sometimes stay and watch them practice.

They were incredible. The girls were so strong and their practice was intense. They did lots of deck work and exercises even before they dove in.

You a synchronized swimmer Molly?

Saw a couple of their meets and they incredible.

Hi Team Diverhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skTIEGWQvnw

Could you do any of these?

[Teamdiver]

You are synchroswimmer Molly?

That video reminded me of high school d ays watching the school synchronized swimming club. They were so incredible.

I had to be flexible in diving but the girls had to that in and under the water.

The girls also looked so great in their pretty bathing suits. I don't think I could even do one thing in that video you posted.

The baggy swim trunks the fellow is wearing don't help him move in the water. Go put a form fitting suit on.
