Well put🙂

[@CK8smallville]

Agree!

[@sumursumur7334]

And i just could not imagine how could they cue their movement based on the song. Shouldnt sound be unable to enter the water? How could they heard the song to synchronize it?

[@cgcsantelices]

@@sumursumur7334I actually saw a KZbin video that the synchronized swimming athletes tend not to hear the music as clearly and loudly, rather, they solely rely on their countings. That’s how it works.

Synchronised swimming has become so awesome over the last 20+ years!!! ❤ Can we all just appreciate how damned difficult this routine is? Their choreography is awesome, let alone it being underwater, their synchronicity is astounding! It is just mind blowing to think of the breath control, body control and absolutely phenomenal artistry this performance or any of the Olympic synchro swimming teams put into their acts/performances/competitive contributions!!! ❤ Has to be one of the hardest Olympic competitions of all time… this is not just your standard athletic competition…this a way above that, for this you need the athletic ability, artistic ability and just all round awesomeness..rated up there with gymnastics and ice skating (for Winter Olympics)!!

[@raykusko9365]

As a swimmer of 70 years, I can assure you, this is not only a sport but an art. You are not only holding your breath, but controlling your breathing to maximize oxygen use, moving against resistance in three dimensional space, and timing your movements to music and in sync with your teammates. It may look easy, but only a small group of people on the planet can do this. This SPORT is out of the range of most people. Consider, outside of the water in the pool, there is no equipment to rely on, no coaches calling the plays, and no ringman to tell you what to do. And, this is no 15 second event. Try it and then see how your body responds. These young ladies are really elite athletes and artists.
