There is something about unity that when expressed through swimming has a wow factor of what can be accomplished when people work together. In this video, 8 synchronized swimmers step up to the side of the pool and stun with their 'Robot' routine.

The artistic swimming olympic games qualification tournament occurred this month. Team USA reveals a strong performance of athleticism, team work, and grace in this clip. These eight young women dive, twist, and move with such intentionality. Their routine is inspired by robots with precision and poise. The girls move their legs in sync, toss each other into the air in beautiful acrobatics, and appear to have fun while doing it.

The choreographer who created this masterpiece is USA head coach, Andrea Fuentes. When you think about the difficulty of not only moving in unity, but also holding your breath underwater and hitting all of your cues with the music, these women are nothing short of fantastic. The announcer shared that these girls called themselves the “underdogs,” but they could “stand a chance of being in the top three.”

As the church body, we are called to be in unity with one another just like this USA team. When we each bring something unique to the table and work in harmony together, the church functions as God intended it to in the first place. When we honor the giftings of others and cultivate our own, we can help each other accomplish great things for the Lord.

“But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.” 1 Corinthians 12:18-20
