Meet the 50s  
Jill has had numerous health issues the past five or so years and while she swam on the team that won the 50-59 team event at the last nationals in Florida, she sustained a ski injury to her ribs this spring that kept her from swimming in the world championships this year although she was a big help to her team poolside coaching. A member of the Unsyncables since 1992, she won gold medals in three world championships, 1992 in  Indianapolis, 1996 in England and in  Munich, 2000. At nationals last year, she won gold medals in both the 50-59 team and on the Combo team. When young, Jill swam for the Long Beach Synchronettes and later helped coach that team. She and her husband both retired now, enjoy spending time with the grandchildren.

Ruth won her first medals at the World Championships in Munich in 2000 and was part of the winning 50-64 team. She had been a speed swimmer in high school and had always wanted to try synchro but there was no team in her area then. She found the Unsyncables in 1998 while doing rehabilitation for her knee which had been crushed and replaced because of an automobile accident.
