More and More Guys in Synchro - Not the easiest sport to master

[ReservedEnthusiast]

My high school P.E. class actually had a very brief lesson on synchro swim. It was at the end of the year when we just spend the last 2 weeks in the pool. Nobody took it seriously but it looked incredibly difficult.

Should synchro be part of swimming programs for boys and men?

The Japanese made a movie and 3 follow up tv series about synchro in schools.
It's all played by young actors who had to learn the moves during the filming.
Well worth a look, search for Waterboys.
The movie was made at a time when there was a lot of bullying of losers in Japanese schools, which was encouraged by teachers (the losers were holding everyone back) and led to lots of school student suicides. The Waterboys movie showed the losers getting into syncho and then pulling in the rest to produce an amazing Busby Berkley finale show.

The small town not far from here has England's oldest brewery and a fairly good indoor swimming pool.

A very strong solo swim by this guy. Incredible strength and endurance and power in the water.
