Swimming harmoniously in unison: Realizing Bley's ambitious goals in synchronized swimming
Germany's top synchronised swimmer, Klara Bleyer, is on the brink of making history at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. With her recent achievements, including winning the overall World Cup title in the Solo category, Bleyer has set her sights on the free solo competition, where she sees her best chances of success[1].
Training at the Bochum swimming pool, Bleyer has been honing her skills for the Championships, focusing on both technical and free routines to compete at the highest level[1]. Her rigorous schedule includes six to eight hours a day, six days a week, with additional exercises and physiotherapy[2].
However, the road to Singapore hasn't been easy. Bleyer and the German synchronized swimming team have had to rely on private donations and fundraising efforts to secure funding for their trip[5]. The German Swimming Federation (DSV) launched an appeal for donations, managing to raise around 17,000 euros, with only part of the Singapore trip covered by federal funds[5].
Bleyer's mother, a former swimmer herself, creates her competition swimsuits, saving money and making the experience emotionally special for the athlete[3]. Despite the financial challenges, Bleyer's ambitions have been raised, and she is determined to make a mark at the World Championships[2].
Bleyer's coach, Stella Mukhamedova, who has been training her since she was 11, states that there's hardly any time for a private life or hobbies for Bleyer[2]. However, the hard work seems to be paying off, as Bleyer is also the European champion in the free solo competition[3].
The World Championships in Singapore will take place on July 19, 2025[6]. If Bleyer manages to bring home a medal, she could potentially become the first German to do so in her sport at the World Championships[1].
