Synchro Memories

I am still jolted mentally back to sitting at poolside for long hours waiting for Dara coaching or swimming synchro whenever I smell chlorine, even after 30 years. Neither the sport nor the technology has stood still, however, as this YouTube video attests. It seems the routine is called a combo. Normally a routine is a solo, duet, or team (8 people), but according to one of the YouTube commenters:

That was the first time that there was a combo event in int'l competition which is why it was so cool that the USA won gold-in 2007 at Trophy Cup in Rio they didn't. Combo allows up to 8 swimmers to be performing at any one time. There are usually 10 in the pool...sometimes 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 or 9 are eggbeatering off to the side waiting while the other part of the group performs.

To think Dara's given all that up for snowboarding now.
