synchro is a competitive sport requiring more skill than most (lol that was a mouthful). many people associate it with esther williams, but that would be like associating a 3-year-old splashing in a rain puddle to water polo: totally different things. so don't be as ignorant as the masses and realize that synchro is super hard and requires a ton of skill.
P.S. nobody touches the bottom of the pool.
