Synchronized swimming
(in
British English
,
synchronised swimming
) or
artistic swimming
is a sport where swimmers perform a synchronized
choreographed
routine, accompanied by music. The sport is governed internationally by
FINA
(the
Fédération internationale de natation
or International Swimming Federation). It is traditionally a
women's sport
, although FINA introduced a new mixed gender duet competition that included one male swimmer in each duet at the
2015 World Aquatics Championships
and
LEN
introduced men's individual events at the
2022 European Aquatics Championships
.
Synchronised swimming has been part of the
Summer Olympics
program since 1984 and now features women's duet and team events. On instruction of the
International Olympic Committee
(IOC), FINA renamed the sport from "synchronized swimming" to "artistic swimming" in 2017—a decision that has faced controversy.
