A man and a woman complement each other so beautifully, a contrast to the attempt to match two females like me and my shadow. Male and female naturally leads to more complex lines and forms, and dramatic expressions of power and grace. Please allow it.

This should have happened years ago. Anyone who has seen Bill May swim would agree.

Every synchro swimmer I've asked likes the idea of co-ed routines. Hey, FINA, listen to your athletes: It's time to wake up and smell the chlorine!

It's about time! Would bring a whole new dimension to the sport and some amazing possibilities! Would love to see mixed pairs. Hope this can put pressure on the rules and make some changes for the better! Good luck
