there's an old story about it takes one to know one ...

But seriously, Bill May (Syracuse, NY) is the world's greatest synchro swimmer and the Olympics have not allowed him to perform because of its discriminatory policy against males. In Japan male synchro is actually quite popular and they have swimmers who could easily defeat a team of female synchro swimmers. Do a google search on the subject and you will find plenty of data and photos.
