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 swimming 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.

Get the Alaskan swimming pool mug.it is true that swimming is a hard sport. it is also true that swimming is boring and swimmers hate swimming. however, it is MOST DEFINITELY true that man swimmers are the hottest things alive (i.e.Micheal Phelps, Ryan Lochte, etc.), and THAT is why i swim. also it's a good way to challenge yourself. btw the rumors ARE true -swimmers (more women than men, in fact) are the most sexually active atheletes, due to great stamina and endorphins released into the brain while swimming. this is strange to me, seeing that swimmers have no lives, and in their free time they eat a bunch and then sleep. :)
swimmer: "man i'm tired"
stupid person: "why's that?"
swimmer: well, it's about 9:00 in the morning and i've had two 2-hour practices..."

swimmer: "i hate you."
