Synchronized swimming, now known as artistic swimming, is a water sport that combines swimming, dance, and gymnastics. Athletes perform coordinated routines in the water, often set to music. The sport emphasizes precision, creativity, and teamwork, as swimmers must move in harmony with each other and the rhythm of the music. Competitions are held at various levels, including local, national, and international events. Swimmers are judged on their technical skills, artistic expression, and overall performance. FINA, the international governing body for aquatic sports, oversees the rules and regulations for synchronized swimming competitions worldwide.
