Synchronized swimming
Synchronized swimming is a cross between ballet and acrobatics, in the water. Synchronized Swimming is a women's only sport at the Olympic level, so men can't preform this talent. Synchronized swimmers are amazing athletes. They have strength, endurance, grace and rhythm. They hold their breath for extended periods of time while performing intricate, hard, intense, coordinated dance movements in the swimming pool. To get to the Olympic games takes years of hard work, and training.
