This is the hardest sport, I hate that it's so underrated

So hard, yet so underrated.

I have gotten more scars from 4 years of synchronized swimming than i did from 6 years of taekwondo. Literal sweat blood and tears are involved

I was soo shocked when I learned that they did not reach the bottom of the pool with the feet, I was naive to believe they would, I know lol. A very impressive and magnificent work!

I've been swimming for 6 years and was coached by the Olympian Stephanie leclair from the Canadian team. :) very proud :P I believe this sport is so under appreciated and no one understands just how hard it is. This video can give you a small insight into what it's like, but until you actually do it you won't understand. Posting this on Facebook? Indeed ;)

Deep respect for all the girls attending this heavy and majestic sport. The co-ordination, team work, the physical condition and effort capacity are huge demandings in this sport that is already pushed to art level.
