Before starting a relationship with a synchro athlete is necessary you read these pointers.

1.- They know when training starts, but never when it ends.  (And no, she can’t miss practice)

– It doesn’t matter is you miss one day of training.

-….

2.- Chlorine is her natural essence (She doesn’t smell funny).

3.- Her body will always have some sun-marks (if she trains outdoor) because of her swimsuit, nose clips and cap.  (And she doesn’t care).

4.- Is important you know the competition dates, which you can’t miss, even if there are birthdays, baptisms, and/or weddings (even her own).

5.- You need to know how to listen the complaints about things you don’t understand and surely you won’t ever understand, but you still have to listen.

6.- A shower after the competition can last up to an hour and half depending on the level of gelatin left after swimming.

–  You can’t leave, it’s not even midnight.

–  I can’t stay, I have morning training.

12.- My dream in life is not necessarily to have the best wedding at the beach, more so is something like representing my country at the Olympic Games.

  • The rings most girls want.
  • The rings most boys want.
  • The rings I want.

13.- You thought it would only be 10 things to pay attention to? – oh, baby!

14.-  After all, having a synchro girlfriend is the best thing that can happen in your life, because these athletes are the most caring, lovely, corny, creative and beautiful girlfriends that you will ever have.
