Best Synchronized Swimming Jokes
25. A synchronized swim team was struggling to come up with a new routine, so they decided to crowd source ideas. They posted a pool on their website asking for suggestions for creative moves and formations. Unfortunately, all the submissions just floundered and lacked vision. The coach was frustrated, thinking they were just going to have to wing it again. Then one swimmer piped up, saying “I’ve got an idea how we can get some really revolutionary choreography!” The team leaned forward eagerly. “We need to think outside the tank on this one,” she said with a grin.
26. Amanda was super nervous for her first synchronized swimming competition. She had practiced the routine to perfection, but was worried about messing up when it really counted. Her teammates saw how anxious she was and tried to reassure her. “Just remember your choreography and you’ll do great!” they said. Amanda took a deep breath, put on her best game face, and dove in when it was her team’s turn. The routine was going flawlessly until she noticed a shark fin cutting through the water towards her. Panicking, she broke formation and swam for her life, climbing out of the pool in record time. Her teammates stared in confusion until the “shark fin” surfaced – it was just the swim cap Amanda had lost off her head mid-routine! After a good laugh, Amanda realized she may need to work on her composure in the pool.
27. Sally was excited for the swim team tryouts until she saw the synchronized swimming sign-up list. She tentatively put her name down and decided to give it a shot even though she felt awkward and uncoordinated out of the water. The first day of practice was a disaster. Sally lagged behind the other girls, forgot the choreography, and clashed limbs with her partner. Ready to quit, she called her older sister who had been a champion synchronized swimmer in high school. “Don’t give up yet,” her sister advised. “No one expects you to be perfect right away. Synchro is all about developing rhythm and timing. Keep trying and I promise you’ll get the hang of it.” Heartened, Sally kept practicing, even on her own after team workouts. Slowly but surely, she began moving in sync with the other girls until finally their routines looked polished and graceful. At the next meet, Sally swam with confidence, feeling like she was exactly where she belonged in the water.
28. Julie was a talented swimmer but preferred racing freestyle and backstroke to the showy world of synchronized swimming. Her coach kept trying to recruit her for the synchro team, insisting her speed and precision would lend themselves perfectly to routines. Julie refused for a while, thinking synchronized swimming seemed cheesy. When the school hosted a synchro demonstration, however, Julie was enthralled by the complex footwork and challenging lifts and throws. It looked so impressive when done well! Julie decided she wanted to test her abilities and agreed to join the synchro team’s beginner group. Though she still had a long way to go, Julie was proud when she nailed her first routine. The other swimmers cheered her on, even asking for her autograph like she was already a star. As Julie high-fived her teammates, she realized she had found a second home in the world of synchronized swimming.
29. Sasha had been practicing her solo synchronized swimming routine for months. She had chosen an emotional ballad and choreographed an intricate number that perfectly interpreted the song’s soaring vocals and heart-wrenching lyrics. This was her chance to impress the judges and scouts with her artistry and athleticism. When the big day finally arrived, Sasha was ready. Every limb slice, head dip, and spin was infused with passion. As she struck her final pose, Sasha knew she had given the performance of a lifetime. But when she surfaced, the arena was silent except for low chatter and some muffled laughter. Confused, Sasha swam over to the judges and was informed that the wrong song had played – instead of the ballad, they had accidentally queued up an upbeat, silly children’s tune! Sasha was mortified, but she had to admit the mix-up was kind of hilarious. At least all her hard work and choreography had not gone completely to waste!

She had picked an intense tango song for her music and every dramatic note seemed etched in the lines of her body. Hands slicing through the water became furious limbs intertwining with a dance partner. Head thrown back in a dizzying spin transformed into the back arch of a passionate embrace. Her performance was sultry and athletic all at once. The spectators were enthralled, sure they were watching a future Olympic gold medalist in the making. Amanda struck her final pose as the music climaxed and the cheering swelled. Bouquets of flowers rained down around her. This was what she had worked so hard for – her time to shine at center stage of the swimming world.
31. Megan was stretching poolside before synchronized swim practice when her friend Shannon came bounding over, squealing “This is the best day ever!” Shannon could hardly contain herself as she explained, “Jason just asked me to prom during calc! He had a scuba diver friend swim over to my desk with a sign that said ‘Prom?'” Megan plastered a smile on her face as she gave Shannon a hug. “Wow, so creative!” she offered, while thinking to herself how pathetic it was that Shannon got more excitement in math class than Megan did performing death-defying lifts, spins, and acrobatics in the pool every day. She plastered another smile on her face as Shannon gushed some more about her prom proposal on the way to the locker room. Megan had to laugh at herself a bit – just because her sport was underappreciated didn’t make Shannon’s joy any less valid. She resolved to hype up her best friend rather than envy her. After all, Megan might not get a magical prom proposal, but she did have the coolest sport around!
32. The synchronized swimming team was less than thrilled when their school announced the pool would be closed for a month for repairs. Their championship meet was coming up and they desperately needed to practice. Brainstorming alternatives, they decided to make use of the shallow fountain outside the school’s main entrance. They notified mall security of their plan to avoid any false emergency calls about drowning swimmers. The team sheepishly practiced their moves in their new “pool” as students gawked and laughed. Their lifts and spins had to be modified given the slippery surface and lack of depth, and the chlorinated water burned their eyes. But their determination paid off – they took home the championship trophy after putting on an adapted yet still incredible routine! The team learned synchronized swimming can happen anywhere there’s water – no pool required.
33. Gliding through her synchronized swimming routine, Dana felt totally relaxed in the water. Her sport was kind of like gymnastics but without the fear of crashing onto solid ground if she made a misstep. She and her partner moved as one entity, mirroring each other’s form and timing perfectly after months of practice. The routine required what felt like a hundred different leg positions – bent knee, pike, tuck, vertical scissor. Meanwhile, her upper body flowed gracefully from rolls to lifts. Dana’s core engaged fully during spins, shoulders back and toes pointed. As she gained momentum, her ankles splashed out of the water like the fin of a majestic dolphin before her legs snapped back into a tight tuck. These moments of total synchronicity and oneness with the water were what Dana lived for as an athlete. Her aquatic dance felt more like floating through space than churning through a chlorinated pool. The roar of the crowd was just static to Dana as she lost herself in the ebb and flow of her routine.
34. Ashley woke with a start, confused about why she was wet. Had she been sleep swimming? The water lapping around her ankled and muffled music quickly orientated her – she had dozed off while practicing her new synchronized swimming solo routine! The pool was empty except for her, the speakers still piping in the orchestra music she was choreographing her routine to. Ashley sighed, realizing she must have swum the routine countless times on autopilot without waking up, proving just how ingrained the choreography had become in her muscles and memory after weeks of repetition. Her supportive inner coach piped up: “See, you HAVE totally got this routine mastered for the show on Saturday!” Her inner critic sniped back: “Well, let’s hope you don’t fall asleep in front of the whole crowd.” Ashley shrugged them both off, hoisting herself out of the pool to head home for some real rest. She was too tired to care about anything except her soft bed.
35. Coach Andrea paced the pool deck, scrutinizing the synchronized swimmers recapping their routine one last time before the big meet. She had assigned each pair a numerical grade for technical execution, creative choreography, and synchronization. As she watched pair after pair do layouts, lifts, and spins in perfect unison, Andrea realized she couldn’t rank one duo over the others – they had ALL nailed this routine, each bringing their unique flair. The hours of grueling repetition had paid off. Andrea blew the whistle, calling everyone to gather around. “I know I said I’d rank you to decide the lineup for tomorrow,” she announced, “but you’re all so in sync, so polished, and so amazing, I just can’t pick a ‘best’ routine.” The team broke into elated cheers and spontaneously dogpiled their beloved coach. Andrea laughed in surprise and pride. She knew with a team this cohesive and talented, they didn’t need rankings or egos interfering. They were ready to show the world the wonder of synchronized swimming!
36. Coach Bennett scanned the signup sheet for this year’s synchronized swim team, unsure what to think. There were only three names: his star athlete Amanda who could out-swim anyone, shy bookworm Betsy who preferred theory to practice, and wild child Kiki who had more energy than precision. Could these three possibly come together to be a competitive team? After a rocky start, with Kiki inverted when she should have been upright, Betsy overthinking every move, and Amanda moving too fast for the others, Bennett put the routine on pause. “Synchronized swimming isn’t just about nailing the choreography,” he explained. “It’s about moving as one fluid being. Let yourselves become a unit greater than your individual strengths or weaknesses.” The team listened carefully. Amanda slowed down, Betsy stopped thinking so hard, and Kiki focused her exuberance. When they swam again, their styles blended seamlessly into a cohesive dance. Though they had come from different worlds, the water had unified them. With Bennett’s guidance, this unlikely trio would choreograph their way straight to Nationals!
37. Lucy glared at the girl in the next lane, outfitted in a shimmery leotard with full makeup for a practice. Who did she think she was? Probably just trying to show off and psych out the competition, Lucy thought bitterly. When she started her elaborate solo routine, Lucy’s resentment grew. Nobody needed to be that flashy and performative at a swim PRACTICE. But once she stopped scrutinizing the girl through her jealousy, Lucy was awestruck by the beauty and difficulty of the routine. The years of training were evident in the girl’s strength, technique, and elegant choreography. Lucy had to admit she was talented. Swallowing her petty pride, Lucy approached after practice and told the girl how amazing her routine was. The girl broke into a smile and insisted Lucy was the real star swimmer on the team. To Lucy’s surprise, they ended up doing extra practice as duet partners, dancing through the water long after the others had headed home. Rivalry dissolved, they had become a synchronized team.
38. Kate stared in dismay at the greenish water filling the community pool. Algae blooms from the heat wave had turned it into pea soup overnight! The lifeguards closed the pool for health reasons, but her synchronized swim competition was in two days. Panicked, Kate racked her brain for an alternative place to practice with her duet partner Gaby. Gaby suggested they try the lake at the state park nearby and invited her cousin with a boat to help them rehearse. The murky water looked far from inviting, but they were desperate. They ran through their routine over and over in the little fishing boat, capsizing a few times before finding their balance. The boat rocked so much they shortened the routine to avoid seasickness. By dusk when dozens of mosquitoes were attacking them, Kate and Gaby decided their makeshift routine was as good as it would get. They crossed their fingers that the pool would clear up so they could fine-tune it before the big day. Regardless, they would stick together in sync through these turbulent waters!
39. Jenna arrived at the pool ready to crush her synchronized swimming solo routine for the scout from the national junior team. She had practiced for months to perfect every twist, turn, and transition. But when she saw the pool was now empty save a few leaves, she remembered that maintenance had drained it for cleaning last night. Jenna wanted to burst into frustrated tears, but then noticed the diving well still held a bit of water. It wasn’t ideal for synchro choreography, but she could make it work! Jenna modified her intricate legwork for the shallower depth, using the walls and bottom for support during spins. Her routine was more compact and controlled out of necessity, but she still showcased her flexibility and strength. When Jenna struck her final pose, she saw the scout nod appreciatively and make a note. A little improvisation went a long way! Jenna had proven she could adapt under pressure in the name of her sport.
40. Ariel was overjoyed when she made the cut for the elite synchronized swimming development squad. She arrived at tryouts ready to prove her skills against the best age-group athletes around. Her solo tryout routine went perfectly, hitting every split, twist, and transition on cue with the dramatic music swelling in the background. Then came the moment of truth – duet tryouts with a partner randomly assigned from the group. Ariel was paired with her biggest rival, Emma, who she had never gotten along with in competitions. She tried to hide her discomfort as they awkwardly attempted their choreography, but their moves were all over the place with zero harmony. The coach separated them and put each with a different partner to start again. Suddenly everything just clicked for Ariel. All her months of practice translated into a seamless flow with her new teammate. Together, they became one body, mirroring each other’s extensions and timing their dolphin kicks without even needing to glance at each other. Ariel had found her sync – with an unexpected partner!
41. Harper’s synchronized swim team wanted to do an edgy routine choreographed to a rock metal song for their next show. They got approval from the coach since it was for an exhibition event. But their town pool prohibited music with profanity over the loudspeakers. Undeterred, they decided to sing the lyrics themselves during practice until they had their routine down pat. Though they wouldn’t be able to sing it live, they could channel the song’s attitude and rhythm into their
