As a Florida schoolboy who wanted to pursue artistic swimming, Kenny Gaudet had no choice but to join an all-girls club. A decade later, the 18-year-old is the only man on the U.S. national roster.
“Kenny is so powerful,” Coletti says. “I really like it because he can lift me up super high, so I have more things I can do in the air.”-based training site, while the women rehearse their technical routine, Gaudet practices alone in a corner of the pool. An assistant coach watches, jumping from her seat to correct his shoulder rotation on a particular movement.“There are so many complicated things we have to do,” Gaudet says. “We have to figure out ways to make our bodies move the way we want.
Last summer, a dozen mixed pairs competed at the world championships in Budapest, Hungary. Regular-season meets include men’s solo. “It’s the best community because there’s not that many of us,” Gaudet says. “We’re really competitive but we’re also, like, super supportive.”Taking part in artistic swimming’s evolution was never his intention. He was simply following a sister who took up the sport in 2011.
Each year brought improvement and encouraging results in youth competitions. But the team practiced only a few times a week so, when the national squad invited Gaudet for a tryout, the learning curve was steep. “It’s a very exciting development,” says Nicole Hoevertsz, a former artistic swimmer who now works as an International Olympic Committee executive. “I really hope we have mixed duets in the Games very soon and that men can be part of the teams too.”
