2. The precision of it fascinates me, but why one would spend time
perfecting those moves is beyond me (but to me that is true of many of the "sports").

3. Why would swimming fans have to synchronize themselves?

4. I used to swim in HS and College.
And it was nothing compared to the strength and lung stress of synchro swimming. My hats off to these athletes, even though they look as silly as race walkers.

7. I think it's a hoot
It's one of the things I look forward to watching at the Olympics. We only get to see it every 4 years. It is a great deal harder and more technical than you would imagine.

8. no
It's the strangest thing I've ever seen. Besides rhythmic gymnastics (are they doing that this year- maybe there will be some judging controversies to make it interesting!)
