Synchronized swimming

A hybrid of swimming, gymnastics, and ballet, synchronized swimming involves competitors (either individuals or teams) performing aesthetically pleasing and difficult movements while in water.

Synchronized swimming is an Olympic sport, which combines the qualities of gymnastics and ice dance, with the bonus of attractive girls in an extremely difficult and challenging medium.

Competitors point to the strength, flexibility, and endurance required to perform difficult routines.
