I had the good fortune of being poolside at the 2008 U.S. National Collegiate Synchronized Swimming Championships, as my daughter is a member of the Ohio State University Synchro team. Although a photographer by day, I attended as Mom, support network and like many attendant parent, a totally crazed scarlet and gray fan.



The images captured throughout the weekend were originally intended as a memory for just my daughter. But as I got to know the girls, and their families it became clear this collection should be shared. Thank you to the girls, coaches, family and friends for your much needed patience, I believe it will be richly rewarded.
