A very tough olympic sport that is a combination of swimming, gymnastics, weightlifting, and ballet. Routines are ususally done in a team (4 -8 swimmers), combo (up to 10 swimmers) solo, duet, and trio. While during practice, swimmers wear regular swimsuits, goggles, noseclips, and hair caps, during competitions swimmers wear knox gelatin in their hair along with make up and are not allowed goggles. They also wear matching decorated swimsuits. The noseclip is the most important piece of equipment to a swimmer. It blocks water from entering the nasal cavity and affecting the swimmers performance.
Many synchro swimmers practice 5-10 hours a day for six days a week. Swimmers say the feeling during a routine is like a 400 yard dash while holding your breath.

Get the Swim Upstream mug.The swim team at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. They win a decent amount of times but their motto is “work hard have fun.”
The girls on the team are the sweetest people in the world but this team is known for having freshman men who prey on artsy freshman girls and take advantage of them sexually.

Get the Adult Swim mug.The act of swimming in the early morning while still mentally asleep. Sleep Swimming is often seen at pools where swim teams practice at absurd hours of the day. It can also be known as swimming with your eyes closed while moving your arms and legs attempting to just survive until practice is over.
Me: Do we really have to have morning practice right after this eight hour bus ride!?
Teammate: Yeah dude I think so. It's going to be bad!
Me: Well if it's really true then i'm straight up Sleep Swimming!

Get the Sleep Swimming mug.Adult Swim originally was the time that children weren't allowed in the pool, allowing the older crowd to swim in relative peace. Adult Swim can be applied to any time that a select group is allowed priveleges.
The website had an adult swim from eight to ten every night, when only paying members could participate.
