- Women's Olympic Synchronized Swimming Rules Are More Strict Than You Could Ever Imagine. From 8 Hour Training Days To No Bling Allowed...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2020 Olympics are right around the corner and the Team USA synchronized swimming team is looking polished and ready. But swimmers like Anita Alvarez and Mariya Koroleva didn’t get on the team by accident. They had to train hard and follow a lot of very strict rules to get where they are today. After learning about this sport, many agree it’s the hardest, most grueling water sport in the Olympics.
In order to compete for the gold, synchro swimmers must train for 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. Their workouts are intense, involving exercises in and out of the pool. They must always look their best during swim competitions. So they wear the best waterproof makeup they can find, usually from high-end makeup stores in Paris. But don’t let those pretty faces fool you. This sport is a battlefield under the water. At least half of all synchronized swimmers wind up with concussions. They had to make new rules to protect swimmers after they get kicked in the head, like not letting them get back in the water too soon. Gender discrimination is a problem for swimmers in this sport. No men are allowed to compete in the synchronized swimming events in the Olympics. But that might be changing soon. One tradition is still going strong among the synchro swimmers: hair gel. Swimmers put gelatin in their hair to get that perfect, slicked-back look. And it’s really hard to wash out. Here are some of the strict rules synchronized swimmers have to follow.

Duhhh,i almost couldnt breathe while hearing about the breathing they have to deal with
Alexa1224 24/7 fun story: last year we had one choreography and i had to be underwater for like minute and i literally became green of how hard it was for me and everytime i pulled my friend down so i wouldnt go to breath
Me too
helena stevic well ;-; better than swimming 100-150m under water
helena stevic and 1 minute isn't that bad.
SheWolf Productions it is but how can u even do it loool i can 40m max 😂
From a synchro swimmer, this is all true. I passed out in the water before, and my teammate has gotten a concussion twice
Me and I friend are synchro swimmers. My friend got in the hospital for having too many water in their lungs and was in coma for two weeks.
Banana Split
I got a question - if a swimmer passes out during competition and another rescues her fast to then go back to their routine, do they get disqualified, because one (or two?) stopped swimming with the others?
The Unicorn it’s a really really unlikely scenario but the team would be stoped and probably be disqualified
Banana Split that’s unfair, they don’t care if you die?
Nightmare Wolfs_17 of course they care, however it is such a small sport there are still so many holes in the rule book and judging system
As a former track athlete, I have always said the women who are synchronastic swimmers, are hands down the most incredibly talented athletes in the world. This gift requires so much skills!!!!
It really does but other sports like riding horses, baseball, gymnastics, ect... Are very hard too, they rly can't be compared. Being an equestrian is incredibly difficult
@@charlee.kay. a person that rides 🐎....yes.
@@shereses.3298 I just feel as though you would know that it is probably the most difficult sport and most dangerous.

“Waterproof makeup is a must.”
*Hmh.. didn’t expect that.*
Yeah, they look so good without that crap. It just makes them look like drag queens. Way too much freakish makeup which they don't need.
Sarah Browns don’t wear it

The reason they wear a lot of makeup is so they can be seen from the audience and judges.

Keeping your nails short is also incredibly important! You wouldn't believe the number of times I was cut on my legs due to someones uncut, razor-sharp toenails 😖
GASP!
Absurd and Dangerous rules,
Yet no rule about nails?!?
Who the heck makes "the rules?"
Sadists?!?
Yessss like I literally get a new cut every practice😭🙄
My teammate got a chunk of skin removed during a swim-thru 😬
Okay that is actually a quite reasonable concern 😅
As a synchro swimmer I have many injury stories. We’ve had surprisingly few concussions (although one of my friends got kicked in the head and knocked out during our routine at nationals, she came to and finished the routine) but we’ve had a ton of pulled hamstrings. Between me and only one synchro friend we pulled 9 hamstrings in one year a few years ago. I also got a knee injury almost 2 years ago as a repetitive strain thing from the eggbeater, and then had complications from a surgery to fix that so have landed myself a disability called CRPS. I still swim though and would have competed at British Championships in a few weeks if it hadn’t been cancelled because of corona.
Long story short, synchro completely destroys your body and can give very permanent damage, but it is such an amazing sport and nothing could make me stop
i started 2 years ago (coming to 3) so i havent had an injury yet, like my teammates. hope ur ok now! i used to hate going for lessons, but now i love them lol
“Artistic swimming”
No no noo it’s swimming with style
Myah Comas
Yep
I made it 1k ^^
Lol
Oh yeah!
I don't get it.
I’ve gotta say, as a veteran synchronized swimmer, this is one of the most respectful ways I’ve seen our sport covered. You did a great job at contrasting the beauty of synchro while also highlighting just how difficult and dangerous it can be. It was well researched and accurate. Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for channeling your awesomeness trough expression on this difficult art.
@@t33th4n mhm!
I love your sport! I’ve always been a fan.
Gotta ask, longest breathhold?
I started taking synchro classes in the mid-60’s at summer camp and I can say that I don’t ever remember seeing a TV package like this. I loved it!
I am a syncro swimer and it is a realy hard
Honestly, the "NO MEN ALLOWED" part made me smile. Many sports already include men or dominated by men. Can't we just have this one thing just for us?
Rhythmic gymnastics is also women only.
Stop being sexiest. There are sports out there thar are dominated by women. 🙄
@@destinyloyatykookie5116 there’s nothing sexist in wanting a sport to be dominated by women
Men are allowed now . This is a lie. Bill may just won the bronze medal in doha . Qatar. This info is very out dated. And those that ignore concussions are stupid
2024: Paris Olympics - Mixed teams allowed in Solo, Mixed Duet and Team. Two male competitors per NOC.
I’ve always thought that the ladies that do synchro and rhythmic gymnastics are amazing. The skills that they show are just incredible.

The sad part is you ain't wrong-
I used to get yelled at when I came up for getting kicked in the face
@@witchimarie SAME!
@@ZBall.2507 I was on the Santa Clara aquamaids so it makes sense
I used to do this and all of this is true... One of my teammates once fell on my neck and but I had to act like nothing happend... At least we won 1st place (ofc not olimpics)
Okay, so I'll take the chance and ask about the music: if there is a technical difficulty (that isn't the swimmers fault at all) you will still lose points?
@@FuckingRascal something like that happend once.. they cut of like 5 or 7 seconds in our song and it doesn't look like much but its hard because we are counting on a beat lik 1,2,3,4 ... to 8 and when they do something like that its hard to focus... especially when there are like some important or highlighted parts in the song when we do jumps if they screw it we can be really confused
@@idreambig5970 if the music stops we just continue to do our coreography... we won't lose points because of music but if we get lost because of music than we can lose points if you get what I mean
@@idreambig5970 thank you 💜
@@idreambig5970 you can ask to redo the swim
We have before
I actually just got home from a synchro competition earlier today! I appreciate the thorough explanation of the difficulties we face on a daily basis as synchronized swimmers.
hope u could wash off all the gelatine lol
I’ve been a synchronized swimmer for many years and everyone underestimates this sport so much! People really don’t see how much time and work we put into this and how long it actually takes to get good at this sport. Thank you so much for making this video!
Synchronised swimming is definitely one of the hardest sports, I can’t imagine how hard it must be omg
Brooke Smells the most difficult thing ever, emotionally and physically
Hard
It's really dificult and that's not even in a competitive format
It is .... it takes a lot of hard work and dedication- I’ve been doing synchro for 9 years
❤️
synchronized swimming was actually pretty fun, very hard, but pretty fun. Kept me really fit
Respect, it looks and sounds like a dangerous but stunning sport.
Thank you for making this video. Some people still believe that synchro shouldn't be a sport, and that makes me sad. I did this sport for five years, where I went from novice to senior provincial team representing my city. It is really hard physically and mentally, and I can confirm that there are many injuries that occur in this sport. I nearly got a concussion myself because I was the base in a lift and the girl jumping off my shoulders did a backflip and landed on my head. I got lucky to just be dazed for a second. I am really thankful to have been able to participate in this sport.
Another rule: no long nails!!!! We always have to keep everything clipped. I have a 5-inch long scar on my leg from the ONE time one of my teammates didnt clip her toenails 😂
omg.
That me except I’m the one who scratched the girl also no nail polish
I drowned while watching this😂
Ana Gacha life of course 😂
Welp at least its not a 6 hour practice. Welcome to a 13-15 synchro team.
Ana Gacha life 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Ana Gacha life i used to be one they make it seem harder than it is
1k liked :D
When I was a kid I used to want to do synchro, now I'm suddenly very glad my parents wouldn't let me, I don't think I have that level of dedication in me with that much risk of death 😂
there is not much risk lol if you can't hold your breath just come to surface no one will stop you
@@vaas_3735 I was thinking more the concussions from being kicked in the head 🙃
Marija _ but that’s also causing the team to lose
It actually is really fun though.
@@aimes8202 I've no doubt, it looks like great fun!
Thank you for the amazing synchro swimmers display, be safe and be blessed. Take care in water. Enjoy the music and art for yourself and as a team. Everything else is a bonus.

*-discustang-* D:

Did u also have to put gelatine stuff in ur hair? I did synchro for about 3/4 years and whenever we did comps or shows we'd have to put gelatine in our hair to keep it in a bun and it _stunk_ also wasn't very good as I'm vegetarian XD
Now THIS is the mother of Extreme Sports!! Respect
Look up vaulting on horses.
Urf I remember my 4 years of synchro. Super hard and super dangerous yeah(still have light scars on my arms legs and face), but the bond you build with your team is so rewarding. I retired last year and the part I miss the most is my teammates and coach.
“Don’t forget to breathe”
Me: Wow how would I forget that?🤨
You can at times you're too tensed up
I’ve forgotten to breathe before while doing a routine lmao
i forgot to breathe a lot of times
I landed on someone’s throat during a lift when someone didn’t hold my foot... her voice was hoarse for like three days! I apologized profusely!!!
Ouch!
Must've hurt but its ok mistakes happen. Coming from the clumsiest person in existence
@@auroramorrison1431 ouch
Hahaha a teammate kicked me in the face and then scratched me with her other foot while panicking so I had a bruise, a bloody nose, and a scar... It's been over 10 years and she still apologizes when we catch up (I no longer swim but we talk from time to time)
They should incorporate fancy helmets; make 'em part of their costumes, and save their brains.
Edit: Please know that I understand helmets wouldn't actually be appropriate for this sport. This isn't a real suggestion, just a funny image that popped into my head when I watched this video. I'm a nurse so I want to save all brains, but as a former competitive gymnast and swimmer, I have to accept that helmets aren't appropriate for some activities, so I'll just do my best to help the folks who get hurt doing these things.
*To the folks who replied, thank you, and I'm sorry about the misunderstanding...i totally get why you thought I was being serious. 😉Take care everyone!✌️💜😷
They couldn't swim properly with a helmet on...
Helmets don’t protect from concussions.
Any type of collisions (even with helmets) an cause concussions
That would've been nice to have instead of a swim cap 😅
Helmets don’t prevent concussions they can only help make sure you get a milder concussion trust me I was out of my ice sport for a month even though I was wearing a helmet and the helmet might weight them down. No hate just letting you know 🙂
they deserve a double GOLD for all the hard-work and at the face of it they make it look so effortless... very commendable..
I’ve never thought about the difficulties included in synchronized swimming before. Very eye opening and interesting video. Great work!
Wait but... it’s not the swimmers fault if the wrong song plays...
True...but plenty of judges don't care.
Yes it is, they choose the music they swim on, but if on a competition another teams song comes on they just can start again
@@bitnaaaaaa but I understood that they lose points even if technical issues occure, for which they are not responsible. And even for what you said. They are only responsible for giving their music with instructions to the "sound master" (whatever he's called in english), not for him being an idiot and messing it up. I was professionally dancing on shows for many years, I can't count how many times that guy either played something completely different, didn't start when he was supposed to, stopped accidentally in the middle or any other nonsense, despite the fact that he always had strict written instructions even with timing etc., even though we tried it all out at the rehearsal. It's NOT their fault, unless their coach personally plays the music.
@@DragonsAreHungry not sure how it is in the big leagues but I’ve done a few “international” synchro competitions (mostly with other european teams) and the rule as far as i remember is if the wrong music starts, you can restart. if you jump in the water, you need to continue/ lose points. if any technical issues occur while performing your routine, you continue no matter what
i think thats what the video was trying to say but maybe they worded it a bit weirdly
It depends on the level you are in. Masters competitions for example(for us old ladies and gents-men can swim in non Olympic competitions) are a bit more forgiving. At a National masters meet a few years ago, one team had the wrong music play and they swim to the wrong music anyways for fear of being docked points if they didn’t jump in. Thankfully, there were allowed to swim it again with the correct music and I don’t think they were docked any points.
As a young African American swimmer, lifeguard and swim teacher I was never accepted to do this sport. I have always loved the sport. Now I am 62, thank you for your great video... it made me dream again!!!!
Im sure it was not because of your race. Maybe there was just better swimmers.
{_• Łíłäc Drēãmš •_} i mean, and this isn’t to be rude, but people weren’t as accepted back then. she said she’s 62, and if i’m not mistaken, was around the time jim crow laws were ended? i’m not an expert though because i learned about this when i was in 8th grade lol
@@caroleigh3461 You are correct, and segregation of pools is huge in the USA. It's impressive to hear about African Americans of Cheryl's generation involved in water sports. When I moved to poorer cities, I learned about how some people chose to close/fill pools rather than integrating them, and many, like in Baltimore, created private pools with $$$ fees to keep others out. I did synchronized/artistic swimming in California in the 1990s, and there are beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of participation available.
You are beautiful my fellow swimmer!
@@RobloxYesFortniteNo4 way to dismiss her. I think she knows what she experienced better than you do. Especially being in her 60s it's not unreasonable at all that it was about her race.
I've been doing synchro since I was in 1st grade. I'm on break right now (I was in a musical so I missed most of the winter competition stuff, and I may not even get to go back this summer because of Ms. Rona), and I really miss it! Just watching this video has reminded me of all the stuff I miss.
As an artistic swimmer, not many people know what artistic swimming is. So this was just amazing to know that some people know what we really go through. artistic swimming a hard sport , but joining it was one of the best decisions i made in my whole life.
Hey y’all. This is my sport. This whole time I was laughing because they made it sound MUCH easier than it is. It’s a very cool sport and you sound try it out! Also I’m going to Junior Olympics this year so pray for me! :)

UR AMAZING GOOD LUCK👏👏👏❤
yasss,good luck
I’m a synchronized swimmer and This is so true, it can take up lots of you’re schedule and you can get injured a lot and pass out and you have to be very dedicated but at the end I believe it is all worth it in the end
Well, we're only three people, and that's me, and two kiddos that can't swim. Everyone ditched me before summer
Yup! When I practiced the sport, I was always leaving school early or traveling for competitions.. its a hard sport to keep up with, and an expensive one too at that!
I got an odd question. Do you find the sport is a lot kinder to your joints (long term) because you are in the water a lot?
Ya true I never have time to socialize
Fabiana Cueto ya especially team parkas, backpacks, suits, and the makeup we buy
wow - a great summary on the syncro sport !
These rules aren’t really strict. It’s kinda sorta synchro culture. Even at my low level in synchro I know all of them. These “rules” are just the fundamentals to the sport
What grade are u?
If your not from the UK we have grades, 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 ( even though nobody ever does 6 )
Then you can get bronze silver or gold as a pass (b-5.0, s-6.0, g-7.0) and anything below 5.0 is a fail. You can do teams with any grade but only silvers can do duets and solos!
@@freya5161 thats really interesting! here in the US its completely different
@@kennaraynor4299 oh wow! How does yours work?
Oef! I remember as a 10 year old i only remember the nose plugs, fake smiling, and cold cold water. Didn't expect it terrible like this! Respect
as an ex-synchro swimmer, i didn’t realize how much effort higher levels had to put in, mad respect. Synchro is definitely a very difficult sport. My sister did synchro up until she graduated high school while i quit by middle school to pursue volleyball. For people who think that synchronized swimming is easy, watch the video the whole way through, think about painting scalding hot gelatin in your hair, the water slowly stinging your eyes and the hard work the swimmers go through to actually be able to be that good. With all of this, I really wish I wouldn’t have quit though, because you form an unbreakable bond with your teammates and coach, along with having so many fun and exciting moments with ups and downs along the way.
Same, ex-synchro swimmer here! I did the same thing and left the sport to pursue horse riding competitively.
The funny thing about the Knox gelatin is that once you get it out of your hair, your hair is the softest!!
though it does stink while getting put on haha. I learned to add a little coffee to the mix to help with that part.
Two of my close friends are synchronized swimmers and it's truly one of the hardest sports. I know one of them been doing it for at least 7-8 years and they are not that great as you would imagine. Yes, for synchronized swimmers they are very good and I'm proud of them, but it takes lots and lots of years to be as great as someone in the Olimpycs.
I recommended synchro to everyone it is a tough sport but also fun. One thing forgotten is snapping nose clips ALL the time or is it just me?
Lol the metal ones don't... I recommend getting that
@@arianas7866 Thank you
@@arianas7866 Yes they do I you wear them enough
Lol this is the most painful thing. I have even cried once because of that😂
Not just you!
anyone else angry that they judged by their make up as well rather than just the sport alone
Not really. It happens in a lot of sport such as dance.
@@timstarkey3692 yeah but that doesnt make it better. male sports arent judged by make up, and its good that the female teams arent judged on that as well (even though they DO face online hate for 'not being pretty' and arent paid fairly, but thats another conversation). and for dances such as ballet or whatever, i understand. thats part of the performance. but you should never EVER have point deducted for not having makeup on. they even said theyre so far away from the judges that they cant hardly see them. so whats the point
We’re barely judged on makeup at all. You can wear little eyeshadow and lipstick and the score shouldn’t change. It’s only used to highlight the face so the judges can see better.
I'm late but nevermind I just wanted to say that make up and the swimsuit as well as the music are part of the artistic effect. Synchronized swimming is also art and it is important to convey a feeling with everything so if the make up doesn't match the music it'll feel weird watching the performance. But as it was said in a comment it actually don't bring you a lot of point. Also the make up is very big and bright so you can see it from far away
Nope just you snowflake
Amazing. Their costumes are beautiful too, the people who make them are also amazing.

I used to wonder how this was possible? Amazing ♥️
This is how many people have pissed in the pools

This is such a difficult sport. I commend them for even attempting it. These swimmers are fantastic. I don't know how they're able to make it look so effortless. That's a lot of hardwork and dedication
Dang!!!! Talk about a dangerous sport!! Kudos to all those synchronize swimmers! Stay safe and strong!
I never knew how serious synchronized swimming was. Movies always made it seem easy until watching this video opened my eyes to a whole new perspective of the sport. Incredible athletes.
I’m a synchro swimmer I’ve just got a concussion yesterday because someone landed on me when the lift failed and I’ve fractured my nose. It’s an extremely hard sport
Sue them jeez
lmfao if your trainers aren't helping you. Stop that fucking sport.
Dano Roblox , we don’t have trainers specific to our sport since it’s a private club sport (mostly). When I got to cross country I was shocked we had our own trainer 😂
Omg 😱
We were doing warm up on a Wednesday, and then my friend Esme passed out and we all had to get out the pool and the ambulance came and it was scary- But she was fine so it’s ok 😂
I’m a Syncro swimmer and everyone underestimates this sport so much! That is for making this video it shows how hard it really is
Almost had an underwater blackout happen to me while swimming in a heated pool by myself. Not taking into consideration that heated pools will knock u out 2x faster, I did a few laps of underwater presses. Something told me to stop but I continued to do one more. Half way to the end of the pool, an overwhelming calm came over me and my hearing started to fade. My instincts told me to stop and when I did I could barely make it to the side because my legs were numb and I could barely lift myself out of the pool. I sat there for about 10 mins trying to regain my senses. The crazy thing is that I was not out of breath and wasnt the least bit tired. I was literally seconds away from passing out. We had two guys on base die in a training tank doing exactly what I was doing and they BOTH blacked out and drowned. Never do any serious swimming without supervision
Very impressed, never knew. Kid wants to go into this.
10 years of synchro taught me something.
Long nails are not cool.

I've loved watching synchronized swimming since I was a kid. It's probably one of the hardest sports to do, let alone compete at the national or international level. It's weird though that men are banned from doing it in the Olympics. They should change that.

Peridot on a tractor as a Synchronized swimmer it is a very hard sport
Peridot on a tractor uh nOoo competitive swim is pretty hard
I would like to take a jab at this and say that boxing, MMA, or bare knuckle boxing all three are more dangerous than this
Horse riding is also pretty tough of how dangerous a sport is isn't a flex at all but it is pretty hard to control an animal that could easily kill you
As a vet synchro, this is all true, training outside and in the water is strenuous and has to be perfect. Competition has 2 parts: chose of 1 group of exercises and 2 free exercises and the routines. Hard but FUN!
As a synchro swimmer and international competitions, the Laxto Nose Clips are the best!
Wow. That was a well done video
I’m a synchronized swimmer and an extra noseclip is a must!!! One of my teammates noseclip’s snapped in the middle of performing causing a bit of panic and probably lost points.
Is sycronized swimming as hard as people say it is?
Heather Scott It really is! You have to support your full body weight, keep your balance, literally throwing people in the air, etc. You’re not allowed to touch the ground at all. I’ve been doing it for 6 years now and I’m still not even that good at it.

This sport is definitely a difficult sport but it's so beautiful to see the women execute their routines in the water
*my asthma could never.*
Omg I never new any of these rules huge respect for these guys pls could you do aerobic gymnastics
They are very tough athletes.
I’m really starting to love these kind of videos!
Awesome!
This sport is so hard, I cannot even fathom how they do it. Simply amazing!!!
I am doing this sport and i really love it
My Mom was a synchronized swimmer and I always thought the sport was beautiful. After watching your video I now realize how strong she must have been.
Thank you for sharing this❤
As a synchronised swimmer I must say, this video is pretty accurate
@Kyra Yep
This is quite accurate but for some teams that are a bit younger like my team the time for practice is around 1-2 hours 2 days a week.
I absolutely hate being not able to breathe and get extremely tired when trying to do just front stroke so I have so much respect for synchronised swimmers.
I got tired in my primary school swimming lessons a year ago in yr 5
And this
Is
UNBELIEVABLE
was in this sport for 9 yrs. had asthma at the same time; got pretty difficult but it’s been a fantastic experience. i coach younger synchro swimmers now. was kind of surprised to see that most info in this video was right! you don’t hear a lot about synchro in the media so it was really cool to see in my recommended!
We aren't allowed to have our nails painted either for competitions.
@@never.give.up_06 nah, they think it's distracting or something. I mean like if everyone has matching nails that goes with the suit I don't see a problem.
@@never.give.up_06 its not profesional
Synchronised swimming is definitely up there as one of the toughest sports out there. Water volleyball too! Seriously impressive, especially these days now it’s so much more acrobatic. Can’t believe that men can’t compete in the Olympics in this era
omg thanks so much for showing people how hard our sport is
I do synchronized swimming (7years) and all of these rules are true and I think that it is one of the difficult sports ever😥
Hey! I'm also a synchronised swimmer for 7 years lol
@@bitnaaaaaa do u still?
@@Birdwing7676 yes
I never imagined how hardcore this sport is
Welcome to syncro lol
Im a synchro swimmer, and i am allowed to wear goggles because i have rlly bad eyes
I never imagine these rules, but I can't smile after i understand their training behind.
My friend is a synchronized swimmer and she almost never can hangout with cause she has practice
I’m so happy that’s there’s finally a video showing how challenging synchro is
Much respect to anyone that do this sport it’s not easy 💪💪💪💪💪💪
My daughter made the GB selection, but had to give up to do her A Levels. There is no proper support for UK girls. Other counties have dedicated schools where this arduous training is combined with study. I think it is one of the most demanding sports there is. Her legacy is confidence and amazing swimming ability.
I’m a synchronized swimmer and I can confirm all of this
They should have mixed, mens and womens categories for the Olympics. That would be so amazing to watch. Equality.
and if the men gain more muscle than the women they're gonna be knocking them out more or killing them
Def not mixed. Biology is biology wether we like it or nor. In a mixed team the injuries would be a lot more serious and fatal to women

When you get Knox in your eye:

Okay please don’t tell me it was only me that tried to hold my breath while watching this 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
