What is Synchronized Swimming? Synchronized swimming is an Olympic sport. It is a hybrid of swimming, gymnastics and dance. It consists of a solo, a duet or a team performing a synchronized routine of elaborate and dramatic moves in the water, choreographed to music. This style of swimming builds self-discipline, endurance, strength, flexibility, grace, and artistry. Synchronized swimmers perform their routines to music. They are able to hear the music thanks to specialized underwater speakers which send sound through the pool water. | ![]() ![]() |
