Synchronized Swimming: The Pursuit of Excellence

The U.S. Open is the climactic final event of the U.S. synchronized swimming season. This program follows two teams of ambitious and athletic girls -- and one very determined teenage boy -- through their intense training and team bonding until they meet in a spectacular display of churning water and synchronous limbs. For these future Olympians, the perfect make-up, the colorful costumes and those permanent smiles mask the fierce competitive spirit each needs to win.
