LOS ANGELES — The girls seemed to like having Kenny Gaudet on their team but some of the parents, not so much. They went behind his back, quietly complaining to the coach.
Kenny should not be playing this sport, they said.
As the only schoolboy in his part of Florida who wanted to pursue artistic swimming — known as synchronized swimming back then — Gaudet had no choice but to join an all-girls club. It wasn't until much later that his coach told him about the adults griping.
