Synchronized Swimming is a women's only sport at the Olympic level. Synchronized swimmers are incredible athletes. They have strength, endurance, grace and rhythm. They hold their breath for long periods of time while performing intricate, coordinated dance movements in the swimming pool. To get to the Olympic games takes years of hard work. To win a medal? Work, talent, skill, desire and more.
