[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Synchronized swimming. Very girly. Costumes, makeup. Hotels full of girls wearing costumes and makeup. Lots of people performing swimming routines to girl bands and women’s empowerment music. If you like Girl Scouts, you will love synchro! [/quote]

Is this a joke? My DD did synchro for a while and the kids and parents were terrifying. I live on the west coast so maybe it's different, but most of the girls on the team were first gen East Asian or Eastern European or Russian and their parents were crazy. There was bribery to get private lessons, parent reps sending secret emails so people wouldn't get access to complete practice schedules, and so on. Parents would stand at the side of the pool deck and film 2-3 hour practices and yell at their children after. None of the girls would talk to each other- they just sat there silently before and after practice.

I'm Asian but my child is second generation and my parents were totally uninvolved in my activities so it was shocking. [/quote]
