Viewers
have been left confused and amazed by the incredible feats of the
synchronised swimmers as they put on displays of spellbinding uniformity
under and above the water today.
It's
a sport that few understand, yet the mystery seems to have added to the
spectacle as millions tuned in to watch the swimmers in the Rio pool.
Many
have taken to Twitter to marvel at the stunning athletes, while
admitting they have little idea what the competition actually entails.
One viewer
left with more questions than answers, asked: 'What is this? What did I
just watch? Are they human? Is this a sport? So many questions!'
Spectators
were left scratching their heads as to how the swimmers maintained
their impeccable hair and make-up, which looking pristine even as they
emerged from the pool.
Some
suggested the swimmers, who spend even more time performing under the
water than above it, use gelatine in their hair to maintain the style.
But
most simply admired the remarkable swimming skills of the competitors,
performing incredible acrobatics in perfect unison - all while under
water.

How they don't kick each other in the head I
don't know. Very impressive.'
Another wrote: 'I can just about swim horizontally and these chicks are able to swim vertically and all with perfect timing.'
