  • Thank you for bringing some attention to a highly underrated sport. Having taken a few private lesson myself I can attest it is an extremely complex and difficult sport that requires a vast array of skills. It also requires physical strength. In the larger team events some of the team members lift and throw each other these days - mind boggling. I have tried many sports and this was one of the hardest.
  • Loved this story! Artistic Swimming is one of my favorite sports to watch at the Olympics

    Is there ANYTHING left for girls and women to be respected and honored? This broke my heart for the leaven that has and now is in every sport leavened the whole lump. I thank God that at least at this point in time, especially at the Paris Olympics our daughters, granddaughters, nieces, cousins, friends, etc., can have their opportunity to experience the joy and glory in the sport of "Artistic Swimming" without it being WOKED to the max.
  • My daughter has done competitive artistic swimming for 9 years now. It is a totally underrated sport in my opinion. It looks easy and it is a very difficult sport to perform. Loved the segment on it.
