The early beginnings of the sport can be traced to 1907, when Annette Kellerman caught the national eye as the first underwater ballerina by performing "water ballet" at the New York Hippodrome. Soon after in 1916, synchronized swimming was integrated into the physical education program at the University of Wisconsin. The first known competition in the United States was a meet between two colleges in 1939. Two years later, the Amateur Athletic Union adopted synchronized swimming as a competitive sport for duet and team events.

The United States and Canada won every gold and silver medal in the first four Olympic competitions, but their leading swimmers retired after Atlanta. Russia and Japan emerged as the new leaders at the world championships two years ago. The finer points Format: Swimmers have to hold their breaths for long periods, with up to 60 percent of their routine performed underwater. Synchronized swimming consists of technical and free routine competitions, accounting for 35 percent and 65 percent of the final score, respectively. For the technical portion, swimmers perform specified moves, which include twirls, thrusts, boosts and rockets, without touching the bottom of the pool. Judges look for height, synchronization and degree of difficulty. Equipment: Nose guards to keep out water, gel to keep hair in place and underwater speakers to hear the music.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] SOURCE: USSS Go to Synchronized Swimming Section About U.S. Synchronized Swimming Since synchronized swimming began in the early 1900s, spectators have been awed by the grace and power of this exciting sport, which requires a unique combination of overall body strength and agility, grace and beauty, split-second timing, musical interpretation, and dramatic flair. Officially first recognized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) in 1945, the inaugural synchronized swimming U.S. National Championships were held in 1946. A few years later, the 1955 Pan American Games included synchronized swimming events, and the World Aquatic Championships soon followed. After almost 40 years of concerted effort, synchronized swimming was at last included in the Olympic Games in 1984, with the United States winning the first solo and duet Olympic gold medals. There are three events currently recognized internationally in synchronized swimming: solo, duet and team (eight swimmers). The competitive rules and manner of judging are similar to such sports as figure skating and gymnastics. Although in previous Olympics, the solo and duet events have been held, the team competition now replaces these events starting in 1996. Synchronized swimming has captured the attention of sports spectators worldwide, and today it ranks among the most popular of amateur sporting events, with sell-outs in all Olympic Games. The sport is widely practiced in over 50 countries with competitive programs on every continent. In the last ten years, the sport has experienced unparalleled growth to include more than 5,000 athletes, coaches and officials, participating in over 200 clubs across the country.
