These synchronized swimming suits will have you dancing under the sea

We’ve been watching Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel all of last week in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, but racing is not the only swimming event in the Olympics. One of the most beautiful and impressive events is the Synchronized Swimming, and we are loving watching these incredible water dancers do their thing in the pool.

They are literally underwater for huge portions of their routine, and we are so impressed. But one of the things we love most are the fab swimsuits these athletes are rocking, and they are the most beautiful patterns and colors.
