Something you wouldn't know to ask me
How many Synchronized Swimming techniques/moves can you name?
What do you love most about Indy?
Its size and proximity to other major metro cities. Indianapolis offers all of the amenities of a major city without all of the congestion of some of its counterparts.
Secondly, I love Indy’s connection to sports and athletics. A very diverse group of sport/sporting organizations are headquartered here. Everything from Indy 500 to Olympic Synchronized Swimming is represented in the Circle City.
