USA Olympics team in sync with aquatic centre

The USA synchronised swimming squad hailed the National Aquatic Centre as a “world-class facility” they intend to use as their base for every European competition they participate in.

The squad have been training at the centre since arriving on Monday ahead of their Olympics qualifier in London next week and will perform an exhibition of their Games routines there on Saturday. All proceeds will go to Temple St Hospital, which the swimmers visited on Tuesday.

This is the first of three pre-Olympics training camps the Americans will hold at the centre.
