Hello Everyone
Being on top of a lift is risky but when it hits the top, it is so worth all of the falls along the way. As many of you know synchronized swimming IS a contact sport and a lot of risk is involved in making a routine spectacular. In the beginning of October as we were starting our swim offs, the contact part of synchro was demonstrated. In one of our lifts, which is supposed to twirl, was located in shallow waters, we then decided to change the twirl when the lift was positioned in shallow waters. Some of the girls were not aware of this change and spun the lift while others did not. This miscommunication led to my knee dislocation.
The last few weeks for me has been rough between rehab, doctor appointments and taking a week off of practice to rest. Although I am back in the water at this point, I am still limited in my abilities and have been instructed not to eggbeater at this time. Slowly my injury is healing and with the help of the team, the process is moving smoothly.
With this forward progression I should be %100 by Puerto Rico training! Working with an injury is one of the most difficult things to overcome in a sport as intense as synchro but with such a supportive team, we will only grow from this experiance.
