California friends, I would love to see you at one of my #SwimmingPretty book events in the Bay and LA areas. I'll be joined by an amazing lineup of swimmers and writers, including a show by the @Aqualillies! #synchro #artisticswimming @LiverightPub https://t.co/yaQzuMksHS

If (like me) you raise an eyebrow about artistic/synchronised swimming as an Olympic sport, this wonderful book by @VValosik is for us.

[Vicki Valosik @VValosik]
