Trial By Ordeal: Performance Day

30 minutes before performance.

It is 6.45 and I am due to start in around 1 hour time. I am currently warming up as I won’t get much time in the pool later. I have finally managed to get my yoga bands and have a quick test with them in a public session earlier. I have just begun gelatine my hair, which you normally do for synchronised swimming, to keep it in place during your routine. I have also started applying my make-up, water proof of course, all set for the performance.
It excites me that I am beginning to get asked a lot of questions by the public enquiring as to what I am doing. Many seem to find it odd that a woman is walking about the pool with a cape and plenty of make up on. Me though, I’m oblivious to the spectators and to the audience that I have invited who are now starting to arrive, my biggest fear is going to be stepping off that diving board one last time.

Wish me luck.

Really excited as my costume arrived today so thought I would share it with you all. Get to wear it in the pool tonight.
