Male synchro... I just love this movie

I love the characters in this movie. Suzuki's the only guy left on the swim team (because its really that bad). He's on the verge of deciding he's pretty worthless when a few things happen to spice up his life.

A female teacher comes to the all male school to be a swim instructor and the boys come out in drones. Haha funny part is that she didn't know it was an all boys school and she intended to start a synchronized swimming team, but that is unheard of for guys to do it - it's laughable.

So there you have Suzuki, Sato a kid with an afro who claims to have dumped the basketball team to swim, Ohta the one joining the team to get buff, Kanazawa a math nerd that feels the need to learn to swim and stay afloat because of the science in it, and Saotome the guy who has an eye on one of the swim team.

They have a few disasters before actually getting to the synchro performance, you watch the friendships build and good things finally happening for the misfits. It's a really enjoyable funny film.
