You are just bitter that you don't have any synchronised swimming shoes.
Unfortunately SS 13.9 of the FINA rules do not allow fins (thank you from the bottom of my heart for not calling them flippers).
I join you at the Wiggle Altar - Platinum no less.

Nah.. Synchronised Swimming can be safely removed from the sporting annals, alongside any other discipline that has 'Artistic Impression' as a part of the scoring mechanism.

I agree - for me, it would be a Bridge too far!

you're missing out. The flippers game is great sport. Casually asking your dive partner "pass my flippers" always gets a reaction. Seeing the old guard trying to supress a comment after turning round to see you're well equiped for a (fairly) serious wreck dive. Never fails

What if you wear, say, running shoes normally?? And anyway, it is a load of nonesense, you can do many sport in a lot of (albeit sometimes unsitable) forms of footwear, or, barefoot!
I can see the flaws......

Do you know how much ability and physical strength is required just to make it look like they are effortlessly standing on the bottom of the pool whilst doing what they do?
I'd like to see you doing it!

Curling is definitely in then, I mean, not only is it advisable to change your shoes for something suitable before playing, but if you fall, you can break your nose, not to mention a variety of other bones!!
