  • We joined Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe from the GB Artistic Swimming team for a day of their intense training, from gym work to flexibility and pool work. Mark and Heather even got the chance to show what they were made of and perform their routine - how well do you think the guys got on?

    How do you think you'd get on if you tried Synchronised Swimming?

    • @ngdawgs1
      @ngdawgs1 2 роки тому +2

      Wow.. probably drown trying 😂. That looks insanely harder than a tri 😬

    Twenty years ago I was a very active freediver: the Canadian Synchronized Swimming team would be just wrapping up when we'd show up to the pool to train, and their breath work blew our minds. I hear people say “I'm having trouble holding my breath between strokes”, or “don't hold your breath when you're swimming or you will induce stress” and I just laugh. You want to know what REALLY induces stress?! Running out of air instead of HOLDING IT!

    Sometimes we share a pool with one synchronized swimming squad and these girls are just amazing.The agility, the stamina,the strength,the technique,countless repetitions in order to make a routine perfect...everything is just amazing. They swim with ankle weights!?What!?🙂Masive respect!

    This was amazing to watch. Attention always goes to the more popular sports, so I really enjoyed the behind the scenes prep and practice the sport demands! Now to have James give it a go! 😂 love the content!

    Something totally different from GTN! Thanks so much! Mark and Heather were real sports for even attempting some of those maneuvers!

    As a beginner swimmer from learning to swim ten months ago to now doing all strokes to preparing for first open water swimathon. This is the most respect I have for swimmers who do synchro. Today I tried a simple leg above water for 10secs, honestly I just couldn’t. Totally blown away by the pros

    What a fun episode! Great job not only on taking on the challenge but giving us a window In to the sport! I had no idea so much went into it which more credit to the athletes as they make it look so graceful!!

    The Olympians are inspiring women. Great video as I never realised how hard synchronised swimming is. As well as thinking about kids and the sport, perhaps they’d think about inspiring Mums and Dads to have a go as where they go the younger generation follows? Great job GTN.

    Brilliant video. As a older triathlete I always try and do more yoga and stretching. Heather and Mark would be an amazing mixed team in the pool.

    Most definitely the hardest. Of course I maybe bias as I coached it for almost 14 years. The analogy we used to tell people to help understand how hard it was, is to try and run 400m whilst holding your breath. It’s just amazing to see the grace, power and elegance of what can be achieved

  • @adorablegodzilla5628
    @adorablegodzilla5628 2 роки тому +1

    I used to assume they were doing these moves in shallow water. They make it look too easy because they're so good (and swimming blind with no goggles for big performances).

    How come there are no male synchro swimmers?

    • @alexellerington3539
      @alexellerington3539 2 роки тому +2

      There actually are! Pioneers such as Bill May have been paving the way for decades - I highly recommend watching some of his routines and even Russia has Aleksandr Maltesev. Unfortunately at the moment men still cannot compete at the Olympics but I believe LA 2028 will be the first mixed or male event. There are even two boys in the GB Junior team, competing internationally and working towards this Olympics.

      @@freya5161 it doesn't seem functional. I would say it's more of an art. Like ballet.
