Pride

One or two teams seemed to be not so much strutting their stuff but mincing like Monty Python’s gay army platoon. It seemed appropriate that while elsewhere in London the ‘Pride’ marchers were strutting their stuff, there was an audience in the Aquatic Centre equally proud, but desperate to be out, even if they would have to go back in again shortly afterwards for more!

With synchronised swimming so heavily biased towards girls, I’ve heard that in order to encourage more boys into the sport, they might rebrand it Ninja Swimming! My proud grandson would expect it to involve swords!
