SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING
The great Australian swimmer, Annette Kellerman, student at the University of Wisconsin,
planted the first seed of what was to become synchronized swimming when she performed a
water ballet in a glass tank in New York in 1907.
Katherine Curtis, an American woman, was very inspired by the new water sport. So she tried
to get synchronized swimming added to the physical education programme for female
students. In 1923 she founded a water ballet club at the University of Chicago and sixty
swimmers of the club attracted national and international publicity.
The sport quickly became popular among young women in Chicago. Curtis developed the

competition rules, based essentially on the scoring methods used in gymnastics and diving.
The first recorded competition was held on May 27, 1939, between Chicago Teacher's College
coached by Curtis and Wright Junior College of Illinois.
Shortly afterwards, the Central Association of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) staged the
first multi-team competition on March 1, 1940. The following year, the AAU officially accepted
synchronized swimming as a competitive sport for team events. In 1946 the first formal
national championships were conducted by the AAU.
Synchronized swimming became an Olympic event at the Los Angeles Games in 1984.
