Synchronized Swimming is……

The execution of precision movements

        on, above, and beneath the water

        performed to music

Imagine…

Q gymnast performing                   

        underwater…

A six minute miler running

        without breathing…

An ice skater perfecting

        figure movements

        in an unstable medium…

A dancer’s artistic flair                   

        in choreographed routines…

A water polo player’s

        power and strength

        needed to extend

        out of water…

A long distance swimmer’s

        lung capacity

        developed for endurance…

Add to that -

        a combination of grace…

        fluidity, and

        synchronization of an entire team…

And you have

        just imagined…
