Synchronized Swimmers Try To Keep Up With Water Polo Players | SELF - Zábava
This series was one of the best you guys have ever done. Everyone vibed really well, looked like they had fun, respected each other, and I learned that water sports athletes stamina is INSANE.
GOD LOVES YOU
I know they have been doing this for years but I am still in awe of how they are easily treading the water.
I've been a water polo goalie for about 2 years and after enough practice treading water becomes a rest position even with your hands and wrists out of the water
What's crazy is that treading water using egg beaters is actually less energy consumption than regular treading!
Hannah Manning well egbeating would probably be "regular" treading, but it can be a little confusing to learn somethings so when your a kid they just teach you to breaststroke kick. I'm sure that anyone who does anything in water at a higher level egg beats, swimmers, drivers, and obviously waterpolo players and synchro swimmers
@@Vyed definitely! I've played water polo for about 9 years now and egg-beating has become second nature!
I would like to find an instructional guide on how to egg beater because I mostly just flail my legs around and hope to stay up and then get tired
Ballet dancers try to keep up with competitive cheer, that’s like the two opposites
Ever saw a ballerina's feet? It is going to end in blood
That would be wild bc ballet dancers are known for their gracefulness and cheerleading is all about hitting moves sharply and aggressively
That’d be interesting
Step and ballet lol
I would love that
this match-up is so good !! the energy between both teams is so supportive and got me really sad to not see the water polo players play this year
But they’re there now! Will have to look them up to support them (unless they’re playing my country - Australia 🇦🇺)
GOD LOVES
Ashley is my my IDOL I started playing goal solely because of her she's INCREDIBLE
❤️
I love the way they don’t even notice they’re constantly treading water (or stop). They all just chat away without ever putting their feet down. And the water polo players have the most awesome bodies. Almost makes me want to play water polo! (Synchronised swimming is too hard lol)
I love these! Also the polo player getting apologized to for the scratching did a good job not laughing hysterically 😅 and the apologizer was very sweet
I mean scratching in a competitive sport is expected.
@@mqegg Yes but a sychro swimmer wouldn't know that...
@@medioreblatherskite - It's still also just the polite thing to do.
@@FHL-Devils water polo is certainly not about politeness 😂 I’ve walked out of practice with bruises up and down my ribs lmaoo
I love Ashleigh! She's so smiley, passionate, sassy and a great teacher! (Everyone was super cool though. Loved this episode!)
I love the mutual respect and humility between these ladies!!
My biceps hurt just watching 😅 props to all the athletes out there!! It’s awesome to see y’all so dedicated to your sport :)
When you binged through all the episodes and finally caught up...
Sad. I want more.
I don’t know how you get your hair in those caps. I only swam in PE lessons and I could never figure out how to get all my hair in there without it coming off! Ps please do rugby players and American football players :)
Its a twist twist more twist and tuck
You tie your hair into a bun and quickly pull it over your head. Or if you have short hair you just stuff it in. Or go bald.
You did swimming in P.E? Our P.Es are like the chicken dance 😔
@@sam6864 swim at the school pool
I have a lot of hair and I just separate it in 3. I twist each section separately and then tuck it in.
I realized that I’m watching this video on the day the US women’s water polo team wins its third straight gold medal at the Tokyo olympics!! And the NYT article about the win features of photo of Ashleigh with a caption saying she’s “considered the best (WP goalie) in the world”! Love to see it, and love seeing how nicely everyone gets along in this video. So much mutual respect.
the goalie seems like the sweetest person
Personally I would love to see bmx vs downhill mountain biking
When the first shot one of the synchro girls took was almost a skipshot, I was SHOOK 😂
this makes me miss water polo soo muchhhh
@Kilikiano Lee even better yet, size 3 balls. We loved to skip those all the time
100% this!
Hailey Leonard ahaha yes
Same
Saaaame. The intro of "I get scratched all the time" gave me flashbacks to a tournament where the refs didn't nail check and some girl had acrylics on! I think by the end of the first day, every coach her team played against had complained 😂 the next day they did checks 😉
The golie is my favorite, she loves her sport, liked her comments and she's awesome at thid like her teammates.
And she’s so buff!
GOD LOVES YOU
@@robloxlover2748 Always, he loves you too.
@@SD-hs2pk 😇🙏❤️THANK GOD NOT ME
Badminton and tennis! As a badminton player with a very disappointed tennis playing father, it'll be cool to see how they match up.
Amazing stamina. I got tired just watching them.
Yes!! Me Too!!!
Danielle looks a little bit like Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark)
Same thought
OMG so much so!!! She totally needs to sign up to be her aquatic stunt double 😆👏
Wrestlers try to keep up with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
I trained Jiu-Jitsu for almost 8 years and was invited to train with wrestlers a few times. They're both ground based combat sport but with very different rules and techniques. It feels super goofy and against muscle memory to try to conform to something so similar but so different.
The girl in the red bathing suit looks like an Olympic water polo player ... She's in amazing shape
I was just happy to watch them all having fun 😁
"*opinions expressed are those of the goalie and do not reflect the team's stance on positions"
Lmao
I love that some of them had stomachrolls, even hard trained have rolls
yeah it's pretty cool, strength comes in a lot of different forms, and there's no specific body type that I would call "ideal strength"
When they said we are going to do the 2020 olympics I was like suuuuurrrrreeeee
They added subs about 2021 beneath that
Same
Jokabeth's catches and goalie skills at the end were so good! She smashed in that last rotation.
ugh favourite series ❤️
Same!
I love this series! SELF, when you're able to make these videos again, could you consider doing Ballet vs Cheerleading and Football vs Karate?
Well done synchros! I’m not surprised they’ve got some power in their throws, as their sport has developed lots of body control and strength.
The body contact, the brutality of water polo is truly intense.
It would be cool if they did a mixed team scrimmage
I LOVE ALL THE POSITIVE PEOPLE!
Congrats to the women on getting gold in Tokyo!
If it hasn’t been done I would love to see water skiers vs snow skiers!
Definitely my favourite series! I love seeing how the sports cross over!
I think it would be really fun to see horse back riders vs motorcycle riders, but I don't know if that's as applicable haha!
Or you could do English riders vs western riders. And motorcycle racers vs things like motocross (i hope those aren’t the same thing).
@Kara Wheat , that's a good idea! I feel like trials bike riders and dressage riders might be kinda similar. And horse jumping is kinda similar to some parts of motocross. Makes we wonder sport would be most similar to barrel racers - flat track racing maybe?
You should do competitive swimmers and cross country runners lmao
Girls are so nice this is so wholesome
I want to see the dirty tricks. How they kick each other underwater, how they grab the opponent's suit, I want to see the scratching, I want to see the biting! 🤣
There 8is quite a lot of “dirty tricks” but I’m not that sure about biting. No ones ever bitin me or anyone on my team but there is a lot of pushing under and kicking and dragging and stuff. It’s fun
@@bananasinpyjamas7738 Someone bit me before. It completely threw me off. At first I didn’t feel the pain because I panicked and was confused. After that round, I could see this vivid bite mark and it began to hurt a little.
@@bananasinpyjamas7738 unless you’re playing against an opponent bigger and stronger than you...
I really miss this series 🤧
Also, I usually don't see much of this sport outside of asian olympics, but I'm really curious to see regular volleyball players keeping up with takraw players and vice versa.. it's interesting since both mainly have similar rules, but one can only use their hands/arms and the other only use legs
@Kankan , that's good idea! Either that or soccer & takraw players.
I wonder if the skills to learn one sport interferes with the sport of the other.
(I think racquetball and tennis. Tennis players should NEVER play racquetball. Limp, springy wrists will destroy your tennis stroke.)
As a swimmer and waterpolo player, waterpolo freestyle interferes so much with normal freestyle! Because waterpolo stroke has to be very short and wide so you dont lose the ball, but freestyle has to be long so less strokes required in more distance. My coach was pissed when I started waterpolo because i had a really nice long stroke, but now its completely terrible. Which sucks
I miss playing goalie. I was a bit short for it, so I'd often have to bump the ball over then net and they opposing team would get to corner kick. i'd run out and just catch it in the air, while my defensive players tended the goal. Was a great strategy for our team. I was MVP for two years.
Make more of this series PLEASE! I love this series ♡♡♡
Gymnasts try to keep up with cheerleaders and vice versa!
I like Danielle a lot, everything she says seems clever and well thought out, I wanna hang out with her
Aw thank you Ariana :)
It's so funny to watch because I do both sports
All thumbs-up to you amazing ladies!
CZcams happen to recommend Rio olympic US vs Italy after this vid and it's incredible! Rachel and Ashleigh are in the team!
Love this series!!
I wanna see swimmers and track runners try to keep up with each otherrr, I heard they’re polar opposite loll
😳
As a former track runner who hates water, this sounds like the kind of thing I would watch in horror 😜
Another great video in this series. It's so awesome seeing how much respect and kindness athlethes have towards each other.
Lol so cute apologizing for shooting on Ashley 😂😂
My kids practiced polo in a pool shared by synchro swimmers. I was amazed at the athleticism of the synchro girls...who were in some respects stronger than the polo players. I mean, those girls could eggbeat and lift not only themselves well above the water but also lift one or more of their teamates whilst doing so! For an extended period of time! At any rate, I'd love to see polo players try to do synchro moves.
They did. czcams.com/video/TH3OR49CWIM/video.html
I'd like to see skateboarders vs rollerbladers or baseball vs cricket
so, I'm really enjoying the athletics, but I think a really interesting episode could be professional poker players try to keep up with professional magic the gathering players. 😅
and now these water polo players are all olympic gold medallists!
I love this series so much!
This is awesome!
love this series!
Amazing series!!!
We played water polo at school, i love it
Freestyle skateboarding vs downhill longboarding. They both deal with boards but one is all about style and the other is all about speed.
This one was really cool like I could see all 6 being good friends after this. At the end of the day, they're all team players 😊❤
Makes miss miss waterpolo so bad! 😭
These ladies are all super talented! 💗
It´s like handball only in water. I would be terrified if people pushed on fought me in water though
"and we will be going to the 2020 tokyo Olympics"
*Covid has entered the chat(
But they’re there now!
@@allisonjames2923 Yeah but it’s 2021… sigh… Never heard of a joke?
Fencers vs Kendo!!! Two sword users!!!
I really like the sound of the water. Reminds me of all of my times in swimming class
I’d love to see capoeira dancers try to keep up with ballet dancers
Goodness the women in both sports are super buff. It's awesome!!!!
Ask and ye shall receive. Looking forward to this!
Wish there were more vids like this. Lis those vids about comparandion. Like soccer VS hockey? Or something like gymnastics VS rhytmic gymnastics (rg). They have a lot in common, but also got many differences.
I do water polo lmao, and once u get the hang of it, it's pretty easy! Also I went to State Champs 2019 :)
idea!
a 4 way thing
divers, swimmers, synchronized swimmers, and water polo players
I do a bunch of water sports (swimming, diving, polo) so it'll be funny to watch them try to do these
You can tell the synchronized swimmer in orange wears glasses
Roller skaters and skateboarders would be cool
you should do football players keep up with marching band!!
Break dancers doing ballet and Ballet doing breaking? ❤️❤️
when i did waterpolo in gym class they didn't teach any of these basics lmao we were just thrown on to teams and told to play. would've loved a proper lesson like this!
Singers try to keep up with Beatboxers!!!
"...and we will be going to the 202 Tokyo Olympics." Little did she know...
Water polo players anyone?
Me lmao
Yup
please do inline skaters vs skateboarders
If you ever revive this you should do marshal artists/ballet dancers try to keep up with each other!
can y'all do a silk artists try pole dancing and vice versa? i think that could be really cool, a show of upper body strength!
I would like to recommend the figure skaters on ice and the figure skaters on concrete
hope they do gymnastics and divers
next volleyball and basketball
Danielle has talent :D
17:32 🤣🤣🤗💛
Roller skaters vs skiing
Jumpers try to keep up with barrel racers. I need this pls
Girls don't catch a cold ❄ lol
do competitive swimming!
And running
Synchronized swimming is definitely harder thou. They didn't show their skills, but what they do is actually crazy.
As a swimmer myself I say
Wow, I've never tried any of these since I'm a competitive swimmer
3:45 . . . Literally.
anyone here after the 3-peat? phenomenal team!
WATER POLO IS FUN!
Danielle looks like Sansa Stark as Elaine
