My son swam synchro from the age of 8 to 11....until .....well you can guess....discrimination is wrong anyway you look at it.

We've always had the most talented men in synchro. It was always a shame that the world couldn't experience the beauty of seeing what they could bring to our sport. This is long overdue!

We would definitely love to have all synchronized swimmers who wish to compete at any FINA event regardless of gender!

What could be the reason for NOT letting them swim? We are all better athletes by allowing them to compete!

It's time to change! Men are the other side of synchro....what we are really missing and we need to grow and have much more public and also media-appeal!!!

This would be an incredible addition the sport of synchronized swimming. As someone who was part of a mixed pairs duet for many years, this is an important and needed change for the sport.

This would be so amazing to have in our sport! Equality is important, even in the world of synchronized swimming. How creatively exciting would it be to see mixed pairs officially a part of our sport finally!

Bill May has been an inspiration to me since I was 8 years old! As a young synchronized swimmer for the Santa Clara Aquamaids I always looked up to him. He is an amazing athlete and spectacular synchronized swimmer! I don't see why he shouldn't be able to compete in international competitions because of his gender! Good luck! USA!!

In Rome, Italy I saw a boy in the team Olgiata playing a wonderful Romeo at the National champioship. Synchro needs men! :-D
