The skills involved in performing a routine are much more difficult. That is not only due to my age but also the advancement of synchronized swimming as a sport. I'd like to join a group in Arizona, where we winter, to keep up on it. If you're not afraid of water, it's the greatest thing in the world. I'm most proud of my 1988 team medal from the Nationals in Winterhaven.
Synchronized swimming is very theraputic.
That's why I started. I had just had surgery. Solo medal I won at a Columbus, Ohio meet in 1980-something. It's good for you. It helped me overcome my fear of water.
