Thanks to the synchronized swimmers of SC Wedding Berlin and the Berliner Bäder-Betriebe.
Synchronized swimming is underwater acrobatics and endurance sports combined with seemingly light-as-a-feather dance elements. Hanni, 13, has been training for seven years, practicing the figures with her legs and arms until everything looks perfect. "At the beginning, paddling was particularly difficult; I just couldn't get it right. But now I have my techniques to stay afloat." Her friends Mia and Mascha are also on Hanni's team. In the water, they have to synchronize their exercises to the rhythm of the music as simultaneously as possible. Their goal: to win a medal at the German Championships.
