Meanwhile, our members have been busy with CCP training, Grade assessment (855 athletes to date) and the first local competitions of the season. Good luck to all our members as we enter the competitive season! Myriam Myriam Glez - USA Synchro - CEO/ High Performance Director FINA AWARDS Bill May named FINA’s Male Synchro Athlete of the Year Bill May (Cicero, N.Y./Las Vegas), who returned from a decade-long retirement from the sport of synchronized swimming to win historic gold and silver medals last summer, was named FINA’s Male Synchro Athlete of the Year on Sunday, January 31. “Two years ago I would never have imagined winning this award today because the mixed duet was not even on the program. This comes as a complete surprise to me," said May. "I have had dream partners and amazing coaches without whom I wouldn’t be here today. All their support has been so precious." May’s longtime coach, the legendary Chris Carver, also was honored at the FINA World Aquatics Gala in Budapest, Hungary. May won the first-ever gold medal in mixed duet at a FINA-sanctioned event when he teamed with 2008 Olympian Christina Jones in mixed duet tech at the FINA World Championships in Kazan, Russia, in July 2015.
