Artistic swimming, once known as synchronized swimming, is a beautiful sport that combines swimming, dance, and gymnastics. Teams perform routines in the water, coordinated to music. Judges score these routines based on artistry, technique, and difficulty. Artistry looks at how creatively the swimmers express the music. Technique checks their precision and form, while difficulty measures how complex the movements are.
