Synchronized swimmers Jacqueline Simoneau and Karine Thomas are heading to the Olympic Games in Rio this summer, so it's no surprise that the pair's weeks are filled with training.

The swimmers estimate they spend anywhere from 50 to 60 hours in each other's company on a weekly basis—in the pool and out in the world. And lately, they've been noticing their thoughts have been strangely in sync, too.
