as a synchro swimmer, these comments make me very happy. people actually get to see that its not just floating and looking pretty. it should be appreciated more
@@similarbell3450 That's what I said I struggle with them in air (I do drag so my lashes are bigger then normal tho lol) and my cousin insisted y'all do!
Genuinely wondering what they would score if they were to compete at the olympics with this routine. I'm guessing something like 3/200, which would nicely show how impressive this sport is.
To be qualified for the Olympics you have to be one of the best at the other competitions and you at least need 150/200 but if the would be judged in the Olympics standarts they would get 1/200
It takes a lot of force to be able to lift people out of the water like that. The hardest one I have done when I was taught by two olympians was a pyramid. Very difficult.
Treading water and egg beaters is far more powerful than you think. We used to do it all the time. People underestimate how much force it can give you. Even as novices we could propel ourselves out of the water
So weird seeing a hilarious, talented, tight-knit group of people that I have idolised, loved, watched and supported since the beginning... try to teach the try guys how to swim.
Ok, this one was hilarious! Watching them attempt those swan legs, I was crying. That aside, very cool to see what's going on under the water. I cannot imagine the isolation of the body like that. Serious skill and coordination necessary.
i’ve honestly really related with Keith this whole series. he had to wear goggles with the nose cover. he’s afraid of heights and struggled with rock climbing. he and Zach are the real troopers in this series imo
Artistic swimming is no longer a women's-only sport. There is a mixed duet category that they didn't talk about and more and more men are getting into the sport which is a change I love to see, as an artistic swimmer! Hopefully they're able to compete in other events soon and at wider competitions! :)
I'm an artistic swimmer! Due to it being a very small sport, I've met most of the national team members shown in the video. Super sweet people! One of the ladies shown in the silver swimsuits when they explained the rules was my coach too!
I never will ever understand how people look down on certain sports especially artistic swimming and gymnastics. Like seriously it's so incredible how strong and talented and hard working all the teams are - it's insane! I'm not a huge sports fan but I always ensure to watch gymnastics and artistic swimming for the dedication and respect they don't get but genuinely deserve ♥
Ned loves a bad idea. Always. 🤣 Also the pure exertion on the faces of the try guys as they try some of the moves in the water shows how impressive these athletes are. Team USA makes it look so graceful and effortless.
Ok what even, the sport started as a women’s sport in Ancient Rome, then it became competitive and men took it away and didn’t let women compete, then they just threw it back us and were like ok fine have it, and stopped treating it as a sport, like what?
@@micheal2458 Absolutely! Why the heck are they restricted to female athletes only?? 🤨 It would be amazing to see what guys could do with rhythmic gymnastics!
because of this video I've gone down the rabbit hole of artistic swimming and am obsessed this is such an underrated sport! thanks for making this video and introducing it to so many new people!
I did syncro for 8 years and went to junior Olympics once before quitting- as a long term fan of the Try guys and a previous “artistic swimmer”, I can’t express how fricking happy this made me feel.
My coach competed in the 2012 Olympics from China for duet. My other coach competed in 1996 and won the first perfect routine in the Olympics and in synchro history. Shout out to the the Santa Clara Aquamaids!💗
when i was in college we had to take 4 semesters of PE to graduate. One semester the only Physical Education class that would fit into my schedule was synchronized swimming. Another guy and i showed up for the first class - all the rest were women. The female instructor took one look at us and made arrangements for the two males to get into another PE class.
i loved this series!! i wish there was more. i loved learning about these CRAFTS from champions like this, especially the underdogs. this is amazing. so well done, team!!
0:10 Perfect as always Eugene lol 0:12 Me too Keith! 1:46-1:54 I was not expecting the in sync walk. Very cool but gave me mad SH nurse vibes lol 2:14 HOW!?!? 3:39 So sweet
this whole series is so cool !! i learned so much about the sports and my respect for the athletes participating in the olympics grew tenfold ! best of luck to all the athletes and thank you for the try guys for all the laughter 🤣👏
I am SO thrilled you did this video!! I joined Artistic Swimming as an adult at 35 - never having done it ever before and it is SO much fun and an amazing challenge! Thank you Try Guys!!!!
I attended a session of the "Synchronised Swimming" at the Sydney 2000 Olympics and it was fantastic. The swimmers are amazing and what they do is not easy. It's also beautiful to watch.
I must say - I’m highly disappointed you guys weren’t forced to “Knox”. You’re not a true synchro swimmer until you KNOW that special journey (I did synchro for 5 years). 😂
@@TrappedinSLC Yep! Knox Gelatin…….clear/unflavored jello essentially. Hair is pulled into a tight bun or braid, and the Knox is literally painted on, then has to dry - creates an almost plastic like coating on the hair. It smells like wet dog, and is a b**** to get out. 😂
@@similarbell3450 Must have been nice!!! We definitely weren’t allowed to add anything like that (contamination to pool water). AND - we would keep the Knox in for several days because we had shows every night. So, salvaging our hair saved on time and ingredients. Imagine going 3 or 4 days with the Knox helmet on your hair. 🤣🤢
Depends on the sport. I´m guessing it´s different with team sports, but in Rio 2016 Gwen Jorgensen was an accountant and Michelle Carter was a makeup artist. In México Olympians get a small lifelong monthly stipend once they´ve won a medal, and before that athletes are supposedly supported by the Conade (government institution)with a stipend and payment for coaches and travels to compete.. but for years they´ve said the conade doesn´t deliver. I think the institutions in each country behind athletes is the reason why some countries win more medals.
For synchronized swimming, they really don't get paid and as far as I know they're not exactly raking in sponsorships. Maybe some free gear once in a while, and I know they have thier own pool out in CA where they train. There's a national association that probably helps pay for them travel to the olympics and funds the national team, but they rely a lot on donations. The US team members in particular are quite young this go-round, iirc before Bejing a lot of the national team members retired and they built the national team back up from scratch, so I wouldn't be surprised if most of them still live at home. Though there's also the unfortunate fact that the sport is pretty expensive to get into, with team dues and gear and travel. As a result, in most western countries it's also an incredibly white sport (I'm of course largely referring to countries like the US and Canada where our diverse population is not reflected in the demographics of the sport due to socioeconomic links to race and ethnicity, this generalization of racial homogeneity doesn't really translate to Latin American or Asian teams as far as I know but if you're from those regions of the world or a another western/european country that's more diverse than their artistic swimming team appears to be feel free to chime in your thoughts). It is changing somewhat in the US, but very very slowly, especially at the elite level because the time cost of training is so high that it's nigh impossible to work a real job. It's probably a safe assumption that most of the women on the US team come from upper middle class backgrounds, so their families can afford to support them as they train full time into their 20s.
When normal people joked about having normal everyday people trying these sports next to the professionals to show how difficult these sports can be. Here we have the try guys 😂
When the guys were complimenting the girls at the end about how genuinely difficult their sport is, how strong they must be, I saw a couple shyly say thanks. I could tell from their faces that their words meant a lot. They deserve more credit as atheletes for sure
The coach for Team USA is former Spanish synchronised swimmer Andrea Fuentes Fache, two-time silver duet medallist, silver medallist for team synchro in Beijing 2008 and bronze medallist for team synchro in London 2012.
@@rowanw1312 that doesn't mean they can't try para sports. There are actually quite a lot of people without disabilities who participate in para sports regularly.

Wow this showed me something I wasn't expecting. The coaches have different country backgrounds. I would of thought each country had coaches from the same country. This is very cool and I didn't realize.
I like how there are multiple panels of judges. It's probably more stressful, but at least one panel doesn't have to try and focus on everything at once.

yes as a synchronized swimmer also i agree
I've got a question: Do you guys wear false lashes while you perform?
No, we don't wear false lashes. They could fall off in the water or get in our eyes.
@@similarbell3450 That's what I said I struggle with them in air (I do drag so my lashes are bigger then normal tho lol) and my cousin insisted y'all do!
@@ebidy Are they an artistic swimmer? Because if they are, they're team might. But most if not all swimmers don't wear them.
Genuinely wondering what they would score if they were to compete at the olympics with this routine. I'm guessing something like 3/200, which would nicely show how impressive this sport is.
If they were children, it may have possibly gotten 30 (out of 100) IMO
If they qualified to compete in Olympics then they must be pros ,no?
To be qualified for the Olympics you have to be one of the best at the other competitions and you at least need 150/200 but if the would be judged in the Olympics standarts they would get 1/200
They would get a 0.
It still amazes me that they can’t touch the bottom of the pool at all but can like launch ppl in the air and lift ppl
It takes a lot of force to be able to lift people out of the water like that. The hardest one I have done when I was taught by two olympians was a pyramid. Very difficult.

@@DreamBelief no one notices how strong water actually is. It takes out buildings during minor floods let alone a friggin tsunami.
@@DreamBelief yeah I'm learning to swim as an adult and after like 20 seconds treading water I'm exhausted! What these guys do is incredible!
ya i do artistic swiming and its alot
They swim so close together. I mean all of it is impressive, but I’m shocked no one gets kicked.
Ohh they do get kicked that why there are so many concussions
They get kicked, punched and scratched all the time ahahaha. You get used to it after a while
OH WE DO
They get kicked!
i've gotten whacked in the face multiple times and my teammate lost her nose clip at a competition this way
So weird seeing a hilarious, talented, tight-knit group of people that I have idolised, loved, watched and supported since the beginning...
try to teach the try guys how to swim.
Lol underrated comment!
lol
Pfft
I see what you did there... and I support it. :) lol.
awww, who forced you to watch?
I just love this part.
Zach: what did they push off of
(Innocently)them: water
olympics x try guys is the collab we never knew we needed
Ok, this one was hilarious! Watching them attempt those swan legs, I was crying. That aside, very cool to see what's going on under the water. I cannot imagine the isolation of the body like that. Serious skill and coordination necessary.
The ending was adorable
“Does one of you want to be Ned?”
*a very hard* YES.
New Ned! New Ned! NEW NED!!! lol
Yeah we actually do need a new Ned now 😅
Omg I completely forgot about this comment. Aged like fine wine 💀
i’ve honestly really related with Keith this whole series. he had to wear goggles with the nose cover. he’s afraid of heights and struggled with rock climbing. he and Zach are the real troopers in this series imo
"Shawn Mendes or Harry Styles?"
"Harry Styles"
*shocked Eugene face*
lmao what did Eugene expect that's the only correct answer 😂
i think he didn’t expect them all to unanimously say harry together 😆
we stan a great opinion
Exactly
Not really. Styles is so overrated
I genuinely believe this is the hardest sport they've tried so far 🤯 so difficult plus the possiblity of drowning
I love how they chose 2 of the female-only sports to “Try” just continuing to challenge that toxic masculinity 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

There is a mixed duet category that they didn't talk about and more and more men are getting into the sport which is a change I love to see, as an artistic swimmer!

This is so cute!! You can tell how much the team enjoyed this.
Ned sounding like a fussing squidward while the coach stretched his leg was great
Bless the Olympics for giving us a chance to see Eugene in a Speedo again
THE GUYS ACTUALLY DID VERY WELL FOR NEVER DOING IT BEFORE!!!
Ok what even, the sport started as a women’s sport in Ancient Rome, then it became competitive and men took it away and didn’t let women compete, then they just threw it back us and were like ok fine have it, and stopped treating it as a sport, like what?
It is a highly competitive sport still tho... How is it in the Olympics then 👁️👄👁️
welcome to men!
Ikr? And I also think that both this and rhythmic gymnastics should have men compete in them too!
Why do men-
@@micheal2458 Absolutely! Why the heck are they restricted to female athletes only?? 🤨 It would be amazing to see what guys could do with rhythmic gymnastics!
The collab we didn't know we needed but definitely did
I was sports nanny for the number 2 artistic swimmer in Canada.. I got to watch a couple of her meets and they were amazing!!
What’s a sports nanny? I’m curious …
@@crassenti I’m guessing a nanny that takes the kid to sports and stuff
they actually did great in the final presentation!!
This was really fun to watch. I tried practicing the egg beater kicks after watching and it's hard! It's no joke!
As a artistic swimmer I love how hard they try that warms my heart
what a delightful series, way to save the best for last, lol
because of this video I've gone down the rabbit hole of artistic swimming and am obsessed this is such an underrated sport! thanks for making this video and introducing it to so many new people!

Love how they tested flexibility on Ned... the one with the bad knee...
I totally forgot that this was not a Try Guys video.
8:15 "Ned loves a bad idea." 👀👀👀
This is like dejavu. I was a synchronized swimmer from 1998-2003 and haven’t heard all these terms in YEARS.
If you've never seen an Esther Williams movie, you absolutely should. They don't all age very well obviously, but the swimming is magnificent.
Ok but Ned’s legs though
Completely took me by surprise💀😂
They should try diving next!!!!
TOM DALEY TEACHES THEM DIVING PLS
My coach competed in the 2012 Olympics from China for duet. My other coach competed in 1996 and won the first perfect routine in the Olympics and in synchro history. Shout out to the the Santa Clara Aquamaids!💗
i love the team's dynamic with the try guys honestly they all look so friendly with each other
Honestly so impressed with how well they did lol I love watching artistic swimming! much more than other olympic sports:)
"You must have muscles for bones"
The one girl's face is like, "oh,no! He knows!"
😜
I've never been so happy being a YT Premium member for 1 a year than NOW. Yeahhhh
It's such a great idea to see the different sports like this. I have so much respect for every single person participating at the olympics!
Perfect finale, this was the best episode by far

Another guy and i showed up for the first class - all the rest were women. The female instructor took one look at us and made arrangements for the two males to get into another PE class.
As a artistic swimmer on a national stream team they did really well!
I love these series… it would awesome if they came back for the Winter Olympics!!
The best thing about the try guys is bring joy to so many people, those ladies on team USA we’re laughing and happy to share their sport to the world
How about artistic swimming for the next Try Guys tour 😂
12:15 they're still in sync 😂😂
Amazing athletes
Andrea Fuentes!!!! Me encanta que se le note el acento español ❤️

3:39 So sweet
Very cool, I would love to see the try guys trying equestrian sports
Dude this gave me very much pompa loopas dancing in the best way possible

I would love to try this if I only know how to swim.....this looks fun.
You can always learn! My grandma was in her 20s when she did.

A lot of them do have other professions. Military, police, accountants, hairdressing etc.
i loved all the other athletes but this team is my favorite, the scream made me chuckle
I'm sooo proud of The Try Guys being featured with the Olympics channel!!! Been a Day 1 fan since Buzzfeed!!!
This was filmed for the 2020 Olympics 😮 so this was probably filmed prepandemia. 🤯
I love seeing ned in pain
I loved the Harry Styles part 😂😂😂❤️❤️
Ha! Amazing! Love the Try Guys and brilliant to see them bringing exposure to such an under-appreciated sport!
When broadcasting, I want the underwater scene to look like that clearly. Take a close-up shot of the player.
As someone who used to do synchronized swimming, this makes me so happy
This series was so great! The Try Guys did a great job providing some really interesting information in their classic hilarious way.
please do comparative swimming. I really want to see them try to do fly.
hi to everyone watching this for free 2 weeks later
Oh no! I'm out of "How to: Olympics" to watch! They need to record more of these, this series was great!
That's definitely one of my all time fav videos on TH-cam
Amazing! These women are incredible!!! Thank you try guys for shedding light on this amazing sport. You guys are so fun!!!
Extremely wholesome content
When normal people joked about having normal everyday people trying these sports next to the professionals to show how difficult these sports can be.
Here we have the try guys 😂
When the guys were complimenting the girls at the end about how genuinely difficult their sport is, how strong they must be, I saw a couple shyly say thanks. I could tell from their faces that their words meant a lot. They deserve more credit as atheletes for sure
Honestly really impressed with the guy's routine! I think its the sport they have the most natural talent in 😂
Where is ned?
oh he drowned
new ned! new ned! new ned!
That dolphin dive trick they did at the beginning was insane😍
I am a great fan of artistic swimming and my great respect goes to all athletes in all disciplines. You guys are all phenomenal!!
Another riotous video. Having Team USA to guide and instruct The Try Guys was inspired. This is a laugh out loud video.
I do artistic swimming and it is 100x harder than u would think.
I hearby nominate the Try Guys to be the "normal people for scale" for all Olympic sports.
The coach for Team USA is former Spanish synchronised swimmer Andrea Fuentes Fache, two-time silver duet medallist, silver medallist for team synchro in Beijing 2008 and bronze medallist for team synchro in London 2012.
the try guys + olympics a combnation i didnt know i needed
Please do the paralympics. We need more inclusion and respect for disabled athletes, and the sports we do.
But none of them are disabled?
@@rowanw1312 that doesn't mean they can't try para sports. There are actually quite a lot of people without disabilities who participate in para sports regularly. There are also events or places where people get to try them out to see what they are like (for instance, at the Australian institute of sport visitors can try out wheelchair basketball). Sure, they won't be able to do certain events, but there are many they could do easily
I especially would love to see them or just abled people in general try boccia to show how hard it is!
Wow this showed me something I wasn't expecting. The coaches have different country backgrounds. I would of thought each country had coaches from the same country. This is very cool and I didn't realize.
how did I not know all this content existed
This was great. Hope they bring back the Try Guys for the Winter Olympics!
i have so much respect for artistic swimmers
I couldn’t think of a better way to learn about Olympic sports online
I like how there are multiple panels of judges. It's probably more stressful, but at least one panel doesn't have to try and focus on everything at once.
What I learned from the series is: if you can’t be graceful, be hilarious!
