Olympic Synchronised Swimming Competitions

Synchronised Swimming is a women’s sport in Olympic and is also known as water ballet or pattern swimming. Synchronised Swimming includes swimming with ballet and gymnastics, and mixes diving, stunts, lifts, and endurance movements. Synchronised Swimming is governed internationally by FINA (Federation Internationale de Natation).


Olympic Synchronised Swimming Competitions

Two events are currently recognized internationally in Olympic synchronized swimming, duet and team (eight swimmers). Within each of those events are two routines, a technical and a free routine. The same swimmers might perform in both team and duet events.

In both the duet and team competitions, swimmers will perform routines that consist of boosts, twirls, kicks and spins which mirror the actions of their teammates above and below the water surface.


During the routine the swimmers have to do a list of elements, a combination of figures, and different swimming strokes. They have to be in a special order. There is also a time when the swimmers get to create their own strokes and figures. In free routine swimmers select their own music and choreography. The object is to do a flawless routine that combines difficult maneuvers and creativity. This routine has a four-minute time limit in the duet competition and five-minute limit in the team competition.
