Synchroswim

I heard about this from my old stalwart, the DCist. It is an amateur synchronized swimming competition held at the outdoor pool at the Capital Skyline Hotel. This is a hotel Sam had been hearing about for a while as it is open to the public and has a great pool and bar scene on weekend afternoons. Going to the competition was mainly on a lark... and what a lark it was. There were four entries and they basically came out in descending order of excellence. The first was a large group doing a rough dramatic story of Jason and the Argonauts. Next was a threesome doing a montage of Van Halen videos. After that... well let's just say they could have ended it after two acts and we would have all been better off. Good times.
