Synchronised Swimming v Rhythmic Gymnastics

I try...I really do, but I just don't get it.  Maybe it's because they look so stupid with the nose clips and those patently false grins plastered on their faces.  Or maybe it's the fact that half of what's going on is under the water.

Strangely, I don't have the same problem with Rhythmic Gymnastics... I love it. Perhaps it's because Rythmic Gymnastics bears more likeness to Gymnastics than Synchronised swimming does to swimming.

..... and the Gymnasts use props!
