Synchronized swimming, water sport in which contestants perform choreographed maneuvers set to music. Synchronized
swimming requires agility, grace, timing, musical interpretation, and overall body strength. Three competitive synchronized
swimming events are recognized internationally: solo, duet, and team (consisting of eight swimmers), although all three
events are not always held at each competition. In each event, synchronized swimmers compete in three categories: figures,
technical routine, and free routine.
All three categories are also not always held at each competition. In the figures competition, swimmers perform 4 of a
possible 20 figures, or combinations of movements. A panel of judges awards points from 0 to 10 based on the accuracy of
the performance and the timing, height, stability, and control of the figures. In the technical routine, the swimmers must

perform a set list of elements, or combinations of figures and swimming strokes, in a prescribed order.
In the free routine, swimmers can create their own choreography of figures and strokes. In the technical and free routines,
which can last from two to five minutes each, depending on whether they are in solo, duet, or team competition, a panel of
judges awards points from 0 to 10 in the categories of technical merit and artistic impression. Technical merit encompasses
the execution, synchronization, and difficulty of the elements. Artistic impression includes the choreography, musical
interpretation, and manner of presentation of the performance. Routines are enhanced by swimmers' use of original and
expressive movements, patterns, and rhythms. The scores for the figures and the routines are weighted accordiitg to a formula
and combined for each competitor to determine the winner.

Synchronized swimming, water sport in which contestants perform choreographed maneuvers set to music. Synchronized
swimming requires agility, grace, timing, musical interpretation, and overall body strength. Three competitive synchronized
swimming events are recognized internationally: solo, duet, and team (consisting of eight swimmers), although all three
events are not always held at each competition. In each event, synchronized swimmers compete in three categories: figures,

technical routine, and free routine.
All three categories are also not always held at each competition. In the figures competition, swimmers perform 4 of a
possible 20 figures, or combinations of movements. A panel of judges awards points from 0 to 10 based on the accuracy of
the performance and the timing, height, stability, and control of the figures. In the technical routine, the swimmers must
perform a set list of elements, or combinations of figures and swimming strokes, in a prescribed order.
In the free routine, swimmers can create their own choreography of figures and strokes. In the technical and free routines,
which can last from two to five minutes each, depending on whether they are in solo, duet, or team competition, a panel of
10


judges awards points from 0 to 10 in the categories of technical merit and artistic impression. Technical merit encompasses
the execution, synchronization, and difficulty of the elements. Artistic impression includes the choreography, musical
interpretation, and manner of presentation of the performance. Routines are enhanced by swimmers' use of original and
expressive movements, patterns, and rhythms. The scores for the figures and the routines are weighted accordiitg to a formula
and combined for each competitor to determine the winner.

Synchronized swimming, water sport in which contestants perform choreographed maneuvers set to music. Synchronized
swimming requires agility, grace, timing, musical interpretation, and overall body strength. Three competitive synchronized
swimming events are recognized internationally: solo, duet, and team (consisting of eight swimmers), although all three
events are not always held at each competition. In each event, synchronized swimmers compete in three categories: figures,
technical routine, and free routine.
All three categories are also not always held at each competition. In the figures competition, swimmers perform 4 of a
possible 20 figures, or combinations of movements. A panel of judges awards points from 0 to 10 based on the accuracy of
the performance and the timing, height, stability, and control of the figures. In the technical routine, the swimmers must
perform a set list of elements, or combinations of figures and swimming strokes, in a prescribed order.
In the free routine, swimmers can create their own choreography of figures and strokes. In the technical and free routines,
which can last from two to five minutes each, depending on whether they are in solo, duet, or team competition, a panel of
judges awards points from 0 to 10 in the categories of technical merit and artistic impression. Technical merit encompasses
the execution, synchronization, and difficulty of the elements. Artistic impression includes the choreography, musical
interpretation, and manner of presentation of the performance. Routines are enhanced by swimmers' use of original and
expressive movements, patterns, and rhythms. The scores for the figures and the routines are weighted accordiitg to a formula
and combined for each competitor to determine the winner.
