for me, this video is purely sexual 🙂
How did they swim in those?
I wish my suits were as colorful
Awesome sport.
If only without the makeup and that unnecessary walk in walk out routine, then people would enjoy it more.
Wait, we have the same name
I grew up a dancer and was just wondering why they point their toes/feet like that as opposed to a dancer doing a "move". they scrunch their toes, where is a dancer uses her whole foot to point. just curious:)
This video would have been 1000 times better without the voice over.
“…the girls have chosen…”? I don’t se any girls here. I see two women.
Io faccio nuoto sincronizzato e vi assicuro che non è per niente semplice
Nice idea however the swim suit is not that accurate – it has far less 'bottom' to it than a swimsuit from the 1940s (Esther Williams period), which gives Ona more movement than Ms Williams would have had.
Why haven’t they done a gymnastics version of this yet?!

I'm thinking a 20s suit wouldn't be nearly that skimpy through the hips and rear . . .
These pieces are so interesting!
English subtitles PLEASE!
my volume was all the way up during the night…
They have REALLY nice overlocker machines…..
What language do they speak do anyone know?
My last name is Carbone
Why does it say 1920s swimsuit when they show a picture of Esther Williams which was in the 1940s
watching her underwater with the heavy swimsuit made me short of breathe lol.
Left handed
The swimsuit was too skimpy at the bottom. Her backside was showing. That would not happen back then. The real thing would have been heavier.
This is very cool!! Definitely continue these tests with other sports! I really enjoyed it!
I woulld love to see a similar video but with figure skates, although it may be a bit dangerous
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wow she's absolutely gorgeous
Omg barcalona where messi and Neymar was (sorry overhyped)
Chlorine breaks apart or dissolves cotton fibers which clog filter systems in pools. That’s why we weren’t allowed to wear clothes containing the material or fabric during Physical Education or P.E. when I was in high school. May or may not be the same reason why synchronized swimmers no longer, or uncommonly, use it.
Why does this not have 1 mil views by now?
It is curious how in the opposite a lot of rhythmic gymnastics maillots gain a lot of weight due to the bunch of swarovski rhinstones used on them, no matter what I love them hehe
YAŞASIN TÜRKİYE
This is an excellent documentation!
Fashion and Olympics combined is simply the epitome of what I always needed
Awesome body
