Spain's Artistic Swimming Free Routine to "El Oceano" at London 2012 | Music Monday 

Are you missing your favorite Olympic performance to music? Just let us know in the comments and we will add them to a future #MusicMonday!

As a simple quarantine RU-vid wanderer who knows nothing about the Olympics: this was cool Edit: this in no way deserves to be top comment

There’s something so... unnerving and alien about synchronized swimming.

Let me get this straight; they have to hold their breath, smile, count in their heads because they literally can’t hear the music, be aware of where everyone is AND control their breathing? THIS IS PHENOMENAL!

I'm just impressed that they did all this coolness without having to touch the bottom of the pool

SeaWorld should use performers like this instead of dolphins and orcas

I’m not gonna lie: I really don’t know how I ended up on this side of youtube at 3 am but I’m not complaining

3:38 was insane, she still managed to make her legs looks like a mermaid tail. 💙

I'm an actual swimmer, and I have mad respect for synchronized swimmers/dancers. We can easily hold our breath longer than most of the synchronized swimmers (that we see at our pools, probably not these ladies) and probably can swim faster/longer, but we would never be able to do anything like this. It's a lot harder than you think to lift someone up out of the water while swimming. Also, they are really flexible. We were comparing our swim group with a synchronized swimming group one time, and though we could barely touch our toes, they easily have the flexibility of gymnast. Plus, they have to do everything in sync. I can't even imagine how bad we would be at that. So much hard work and dedication goes to this sport, and I respect anyone that goes in it.

Synchronized swimmers are amazing athletes. I’m so fascinated by their ability to hold their breath underwater upside down and still able to perform their routines.

And here is me, that chokes while drinking water from a bottle.

Welcome to another episode of "Where quarantine has lead me today"

That was INCREDIBLE!!! I can’t imagine the amount of strength and coordination it takes to achieve that routine. I’d be out of breath.

Meanwhile I slipped in the bathtub once and almost drowned

I don't care. For me this is the hardest sport! Aside from being athletic and artistic, you're deprived of a basic human need: oxygen!!!

The amount of stamina this takes is astounding. The camera shots were amazing. Fantastic performance 👏

Imagine how confused the life guard must be.

Oh those dolphins

I feel like I’m not qualified to appreciate this sport for what it is.

I didn't know fish could compete in the Olympics. This is insane and I love it.

If these girls executed this routine so exquisitely I can't imagine just how extraordinary their choreographer is. Kudos to everyone behind the scenes. They are often overlooked but I'm pretty sure it took a village to put this magnificent production together js

Even they didn't win the competition, they got all of my attention for the show. Music, costume, coreography and their expression are so united. Love the crab and the dolphin sections. So autentic!

Intense enough to call it a sport, beautiful enough to call it a performance.

Spain has won several medals in this sport in the recent years!

oxygen: Am I a JoKe To YoU......

I have to tell, RU-vid's recommendations get weirder and weirder every day. But this one is something out of this world. Cant complain.

These woman: dancing upside down in the water Me: gets a foot cramp watching this

One of the most incredible and glamorous specticles im ever likley to see.

All I could think of while watching is "humans are so silly." Don't get me wrong, this obviously takes years of practice and skill. But the concept of competing for the best water dance is such a random thing for humans to decide to do.

Finally, a version without commentary! Even if Spain doesn't have as many high speed, high difficulty, high precision moves, their artistry more than makes up for it. Definitely one of my favourites of 2012.

I feel tired only by watching. Can't imagine how hard it must be for them That was amazing

They remind me of that group of tuna fish from Finding Nemo

I love how their reflective swimsuit almost makes them look like they're partially transparent

As an ex synchronized swimmer i can confirm that this is one of the hardest sports

This is just hard work and passion. Most of them were new so they had to train 10-12 hours a day.

Synchronized swimming is horribly underrated. It is basically ALL the other sports put together, while smiling.❤️

SPAIN IS THE BOSS. IN ALL FORMS OF ART SPAIN DOESN'T HAVE ANY RIVAL. IS PURE ART ♥️

Imagine accidentally breathing in at the wrong second

Imagine seeing that at the public pool 😂😂

You can see the dedication they put into this! Absolutely phenomenal!! I'm not a synchronized swimmer but even to me that look closed to perfection!

I’ve been watching a lot of artistic swimming this week… this hands down was absolutely stunning !! It 2021 … just stunning!!

Oxygen: *_"Am I joke to you?"_*

How majestic this performance is, look how they can still smile and so professional,and sychronize💞

I have never watched this sport before. For some reason it was on my recommended. This is amazing.

After 10 years I'm watching. OMG IT'S INCREDIBLE 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥

Just think how much physical effort it takes for all of these women to have their torsos upside-down underwater, while having their legs the same level over the water. Then they have to be able to lift each other and toss them out of the water. They all must be strong as F. Like bruh, imagine being a 250 lb weight lifter... Any one of these women could give you a beat down, and you wouldn't even understand how it physically happened. And they'd get away with it, because the police wouldn't believe you. 😆

It's so synchronised even the ripples in the water are satisfying.

Metallic mirror scales showy! Absolutely love it!!🎆

Idk what it is. I always find myself coming back to this video. The grace of these skaters is amazing,completely obsessed.

This was terrific! I don’t know why they didn’t get a medal. I watched Russia’s team and it was pretty boring. I think the Spanish Team has always been strong in this field

Artistic swimming is so cool

They all kept smiling the whole time. Beautiful.

That was freaking awesome ! Lots of respect from JAPAN ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Meanwhile me as a 7 year old: look at me do a handstand underwater!

I was on a synchronized swimming team for only 2 years in middle school. It was the best thing I ever accomplished physically. My whole body was so strong and healthy.

It's Beautiful, takes hard work, dedication, and passion to reach that level.

España es arte puro por todas partes ❤️

They're so good I didn't even know which body parts they were using half the time🤣🙈

WOW, If I saw that in the middle of the ocean, I would think that those were some mystical creatureas like mermaids. Stunning!

The stamina of these ladies is unreal.That was beautiful to watch x

It's Mind-blowing! Outstanding! Unbelievable!

Not only the holding your breath part, but the underwater shots of them staying perfectly straight while UPSIDE-DOWN???? *THAT* is really the part that blows my mind more than anything!!! 🤯😲👏

I've been doing swimming synch for ten years. I do not regret this choice, I cannot even think about actually stopping one day. I just love this 🥰

This sport deserves way more recognition

The astonishing thing is how physically strong these girls are...plus having to control your breathing, athletic dexterity and endurance ...an astounding effort and feat.

My lungs could never I don't have any breathing problems but I'm 1000000000% I could never hold my breath for that long

Someone said they train 10-12 hrs a day, that’s insane! So much talent and hard work, I thought swimming laps was hard 😩

Beautiful performance and costumes! Love it! One of the best I've seen! ❤😊

Waaaooo!!! So beautifull work!!! Congretulation!! 🤗👍👏👏👏👏👏

Nobody: Every 9 year old ever at a pool party:

Out of this world. They actually look like synchronised wild dolphins minding their business. Incredible.

Haven’t watched one of these in yearssssss!! I just knew I’d be a synchronized swimmer when I was a little girl lol watching this took me back! TALENT ON TALENT ON TALENT!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

Oh my god this is incredible.

My recommendations on RU-vid are just spectacular. Another addiction! Off to watch more synchronized swimming. 😂

I suffocated 10 times just watching it. Never interested in this kind of sport before, but it is truly amazing

Brilliant! The performance The music And the choreography. I'm amazed! Thank you.

Nothing more I can say.. perfect! Awesome! Deserved the gold medal! Congrats

I always get so emotional when watching that kinda stuff because you can feel all the dedication and passion that went into this. If perfection exists, that must be it.

This is stunning water artistry. To me not just technical, but to me these are the best I've ever seen. Loved the costumes. Stunning... bravo ladies.

AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL💕👏👏👏

Beautiful, artistic, shiny, so so talented, AWESOME , thank you team for this present!!!!

The choreography is so unique i love this

No clue why RU-vid recommend me this but I’m glad they did this is something I never knew I needed to see.

I have never seen anything like this before. Synchronized swimming came a long way! Absolutely beautiful to watch! I couldn't believe they were in deep water and throwing eachother up in the air....very impressive!!❤

I did not even know this event existed. And probably best of all, no friggin’ sports commentary over it.

My god these women deserve some stage lighting and music video camera work, THAT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE

Wow their lipstick still stayed on and they managed to have a smile on their face everytime they came up from the water. This was a beautiful performance ✨

So nice to see this after so many years.....!!! 😍🤩

Absolutely amazing

I did artistic swimming for almost 9 years and I can tell that this is my favorite routin ever

One of my favorite routines ever. So beautiful. I personally enjoyed more than Russia's.

Wow that was amazing!!!!!!! Thank you Jesus for these beautiful ladies

I'm just impressed. Amazing. They are synchronised and they need to smile

That was AMAZING. I can't believe how perfect that was.

To hold your breath for that long while working out🤯 I can’t even breathe while working out and I’m not holding my breath

2024 y aún me encanta esta rutina de España! Arriba México y España!

Beautiful amazing performance

Humans are the most amazing creatures. Their creativity is endless!

Oh my gosh. It makes me soooo happy to see the final product of sooo much disciplined, conscious work. I'm crying. This was great. Thanks RU-vid 😂

Extremely *impressive* !!!👌🏾 I love ❤️ *synchronized swimming* . Great performance!👏🏽
