Okay, I confess. I hardly watch synchro, or what is now called “artistic swimming.” I’ve seen some of it from time to time, but it doesn’t capture my attention the way gymnastics does. Even so, I’m impressed with the athletes and their skills. They deserve more attention, and yes, that includes from me.
