AQUATICS MEDIA GUIDE – The team behind the Handbook.
IN THE BUILD UP to the 2005 FINA World Swimming Championships in Montreal, the team at Hanson Sports
Media co-ordinated the first ever Australian Aquatics Team handbook, a labour of love for a group that lives and
breathes aquatic sports in Australia. So sought-after was the first edition that the second Aquatics Team Handbook
is back by popular demand for the 12th FINA World Championships here in our home waters of Melbourne.
We are pleased to bring you all the profiles of the Telstra Dolphins Australian Swim and Open Water Teams, the
Australian Diving Team, the Australian Men’s and Women’s Water Polo Teams and the Australian Synchronised
Swimming team as well as all the previews, facts, figures, times, points and background that make up all of the
aquatic disciplines.
But a Handbook of thes magnitude would not be possible without the dedication of Production Editor Kim Hamilton
and her assistant Alina Derevyanko; Swimming Media Manager David Lyall and HSM Swimming co-ordinator
Michelle Nicholas, HSM would also like to acknowledge the input of Liz Avery (Swimming Australia), Mary
Godden (Diving Australia), Helen Hall (Synchronised Swimming Association of Australia), and James Ward and
Amy Titmuss (Australian Water Polo Inc.) as well as the photographic services of two of the world’s best sport
shooters Delly Carr from (Sportshoot) and Patrick Kraemer (MagicPBK). – Ian Hanson (Managing Director
HSM)
WELCOME FROM AUSTRALIA’S AQUATICS CHEF DE MISSION NEIL MARTIN
WORLD’S BEST ARRIVE IN MELBOURNE TO CELEBRATE SWIMMING’S
GOLDEN ERA
I would like to firstly take this opportunity on behalf of Swimming Australia to welcome
you all to Melbourne for this the 12th FINA World Swimming Championships.
We are honored by Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) president, Mustapha Larfaoui and by
the presence of all FINA delegates and members and are thrilled at being given the opportunity to host
the largest and most recognised aquatic event in the world.
Since Melbourne’s announcement as host city in Barcelona in 2003, the thought of how amazing these
2007 FINA World Swimming Championships were going to be with a record number of participating
nations flocking here to the sporting capital of Australia has been nothing short of inspirational and one
that I am sure will see these World Championships be unrivalled in passion and dedication.
From one of the most vibrant cities comes some of the most incredible sporting venues and Rod Laver
Arena, home of the Australian Open of Tennis will for the first time welcome to centre court a swimming
pool filled with some of the fastest and finest athletes ever to grace our great sport.
Never before has swimming been held in such a venue with 12,500 spectators so close to the action
and an atmosphere that I am certain will lay the foundation for all future international swimming events
and for that I would like to thank the Victorian State Government and Premier, Steve Bracks, along with
the M2007 organising committee and Minister for Sport, Recreation and Youth affairs The Honorable,
James Merlino for their ongoing commitment and support.
Starting on the pool deck of Rod Laver which will host swimming and synchronised swimming, the
Championship venues will include the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) for Diving and
Water Polo and the famous seaside suburb of St Kilda Beach that will play host to the open water
events and attract crowds that will gather en mass at the shoreline to watch the latest Olympic sport
captivate with not only its endurance but tactical and physical encounters.
This is the third time the FINA World Championships have come to Australia after Perth hosted the
aquatic celebration so successfully in both 1991 and 1998 – championships that launched the careers
of so many great champions.
International swimming is without doubt living in a golden age in the pool with the facts undeniably
astounding that 14 out of 17 of the men’s world record holders will be here in Melbourne – with the only
absentees from the list being that of recently retired Ian Thorpe (200, 400 freestyle) and Russian sprint
Czar, Alexander Popov (50m freestyle).
In the individual women’s events 14 out of the 17 world records have been broken within the last 10
years with the three exceptions being Hungarian, Krisztina Egerszegi (200m backstroke) and American
distance legend, Janet Evans (800 and 1500 freestyle).
The privilege of living in such an era of the sport is something special and one that I feel is a testament
to the endless time and effort put in by not only the athletes but coaches, support staff, families and the
media who have all traveled the long and arduous but incredibly rewarding road to Melbourne to reach
the pinnacle of the aquatic sporting world.
Congratulations and good luck to all.

XI FINA World Championships
MEET PENNY THE PENGUIN – OFFICIAL MASCOT OF THE MELBOURNE 2007
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
This is “Penny The Penguin” the official mascot for the 12th FINA World Championships –
the face of the Melbourne 2007 Championships.
The naming of the mascot followed a ’What’s my name?’ competition, run in the Herald Sun
newspaper and online at melbourne2007.com.au.
The ‘What’s my name?’ competition proved popular among the public, attracting over 1800
entries.
The Chairman of the 2007 World Swimming Championships Corporation Mr Tony Beddison AO, said that the number of
entries suggesting the name ‘Penny’ was a critical factor in naming the mascot.
Penguins, Victoria’s most famous native animals, are residents of Victorian landmark Phillip Island.
WHO WILL STAND AND DELIVER IN 2007?
Australia has staged two previous FINA World Championships in Perth in 1991 and 1998 and it
launched the careers of some of swimming’s house hold names.
In 1991, Melbourne’s Linley Frame put behind the frustrations of missing the 1990
Commonwealth Games team to win the world title in the 100m breaststroke.
When asked by Olympic gold medallist Mark Tonelli what her message to Australia was, a
beaming Frame said: “If you get the chance to do it…do it.”
That message has rung in the ears of many young Australian swimmers ever since and in 1998
Michael Klim stood and delivered an amazing seven medals – four of them gold – at the second
World Championship meet Down Under.
Now nine years on and after World Championships in Fukuoka (2001), Barcelona (2003) and Montreal (2005) the
worlds return to a country which has for the past century provided international stars.
But who will stand and deliver for the Telstra Dolphins in 2007?
Will it be captain courageous Grant Hackett – who won his first world title in Perth in 1998? Can he swim his way into
history and win 1500m title number five!
Will one of the golden girls, Libby Lenton, Leisel Jones or Jodie Henry light up Rod Laver Arena, or maybe 2007 will
herald a new name to capture the imagination of a swimming-mad Australian public.
Come April 1 those questions will be answered. Rock on Melbourne!
MELBOURNE THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS
www.melbourne.vic.gov.au
Melbourne is a lively, sophisticated city packed with shops, restaurants, bars
and cafes in wide, leafy boulevards and tiny, atmospheric laneways that
beckon to be explored.
To help visitors gain their bearings and embark on a journey of discovery, the
City of Melbourne operates a range of imaginative programs and a state-ofthe-art Melbourne Visitor Centre at Federation Square opposite the Flinders
Street railway station.
Melbourne, a relatively modern city which is less than 200 years old, never sits still. New futuristic designs add to the
fascinating mix of architecture and ensure the skyline is constantly changing. Melbourne is very much about lifestyle. It
is no huge surprise to residents that their city has been named in an international poll as the world’s most liveable city.
Melbournians embrace three things in particular: sport (Australian Rules football is almost a religion); fashion (the look is
chic with a dash of quirky); and festivals (the calendar is packed year round).

AUSTRALIAN
SWIM TEAM
THE WORLD OF SWIMMING COMES DOWN UNDER TO MELBOURNE
THE SWIMMING COMPONENT of the 12th FINA World Championships will be the most watched
aquatic event held anywhere on the planet between now and the Beijing Olympics – and with good
reason.
The eight-day program will feature current world record holders for both men and women in every
stroke, amongst them all-time greats including Australian icons Grant Hackett and Leisel Jones,
American wonderboy Michael Phelps and Dutch sprinter Pieter van den Hoogenband.
Adding to the appeal of the 40 event program will be the atmosphere created by the more than 12,500
fans that will pack into Rod Laver Arena and sit virtually on top of a pre-fabricated pool that began
arriving in Melbourne in 40 shipping containers last December.
Last year there were 20 long course world records broken all over the globe leaving story lines aplenty
and intrigue surrounding every event at what could be the fastest swim meet in history.
Australians and indeed the world will watch on each day as question after question is answered by
established stars broadening their legend and new heroes announcing their athletic arrival.
For Australians one of the many highlights will be Hackett’s bid to defend the 400, 800 and 1500 metre
titles he won at the last World Championships in Montreal two years ago.
With 17 medals, including ten gold, Hackett is the most decorated swimmer in World Championship
history and a win in the 1500m on the final night will give the Telstra Dolphins Team Captain an
astonishing and unprecedented fifth consecutive world title in the event (in fact no other swimmer has
claimed gold in four straight championships).
Supporting Hackett will be Australia’s ‘Golden Girls” who between them won ten events in Montreal to
rule the world.
But Leisel Jones, Libby Lenton, Jodie Henry, Jessicah Schipper and Danni Miatke mightn’t have it all
their own way this time around after the German’s, the USA, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and France all
made giant strides forward in 2006.
Overseas invaders like Britta Steffen, Laure Manaudou, Natalie Coughlin, Katie Hoff, Otylia Jedrzejczak
and Annika Lurz may be names that don’t mean too much to most Australians now but could well be
household names by the end of this meet.
On the men’s side of things, rising young Australian stars Brenton Rickard, Eamon Sullivan, Kenrick
Monk and Leith Brodie will lead a youthful Telstra Dolphins squad as the try to mix it with experienced
American world record holders Phelps, Aaron Peirsol, Brendan Hansen and Ian Crocker.
Throw in Europeans van den Hoogenband, Filippo Magnini and Laszlo Cseh, South African glamour
boys Roland Schoeman and Ryk Neethling and teenage South Korean Tae Hwan Park and the water in
Rod Laver Arena could reach boiling point. – DAVID LYALL.

TELSTRA DOLPHINS
AUSTRALIAN
OPEN WATER
SWIM TEAM
2007 OPEN WATER DOLPHINS HAVE PROUD TRADITION TO UPHOLD
OPEN WATER SWIMMING is as Australian as Vegemite, kangaroos, Holden cars and
lamington’s – almost every Aussie has, at some stage, swum in a river, lake or at the beach.
It’s an Australian past time and not surprisingly the Telstra Dolphins have a proud competitive
history in the sport.
Australia has won at least one medal from five of the six FINA World Championships that have
featured open water swimming since it was first added to the program in Perth in 1991.
This year the open water component of the 2007 World Championships will be held at St Kilda
beach, one of the most picturesque points of Port Phillip Bay and only a short distance from
Melbourne’s city centre.
Considered one of the most fashionable suburbs within Melbourne, it's one of Melbourne's
most lively, cosmopolitan areas and is also a hugely popular among tourists who flock there all
year round to enjoy the night life and to visit one of the city’s most renowned landmarks, Luna
Park.
The Open Water Swimming course itself is free to attend and will run between the famous St
Kilda pier and the St Kilda Marina, creating a natural amphitheatre for the 5 kilometre, 10km
and 25 km events for both men and women.
Four of the six events - the men’s and women’s 5km (both Sunday March 18), the women’s
25km (Saturday March 24) and men’s 25km (Sunday March 25) - will be held on weekends
allowing anyone the opportunity to witness some of the globe’s fittest and most courageous
athletes battle for world supremacy.
FINA conduct’s World Open Water Championships every second year (even years) as a stand
alone event as well as including the open water component alongside swimming, diving,
synchronised swimming and water polo in the biannual FINA World Championships in odd
years like 2007.
Leading the Telstra Dolphins will be current 25km FINA World Open Water champion Josh
Santacaterina (10km, 25km), former Kiwi Kate Brookes-Peterson (5km, 10km) and surf life
saving icon Ky Hurst (5km, 10km).
Joining them in the Australian team will be 2004 25km FINA World Open Water gold medallist
Brendan Capell (25km), team veteran Shelley Clark (25km) and teenagers Alexandra Bagley
(5km, 10km) and David Browne (5km).
Apart from Santacaterina and Capell’s success at the last two FINA World Open Water
Championships, three other Australian’s have tasted gold at the World Championships.
Open water legend Shelly Taylor-Smith won the inaugural 25km title on the Swan River in
Perth in 1991 before joining Melissa Cunningham, who won individual gold in the same event,
and David Bates, to take the 25km team title in Rome in 1994.
Others to see the podium in more recent times include Hurst, who won silver in the 5km as a
precocious 16-year-old in Perth in 1998, high profile pool swimmer turned open water star
Hayley Lewis, who claimed bronze in the 5km in Fukuoka in 2001, and Capell, who snared
silver in the 25km in 2005. – KURT HANSON

Nel, Scott Robertson and Peter Hill – an average age of 19, not one Olympian among them but
they have talent to burn.
The “Emerging Seven” will form the basis of Australia’s Olympic squad not just for 2008 in Beijing
but certainly 2012 in London.
Under the watchful and astute eyes of National Head Coach Hui Tong, the teenage divers from
Australia are not expected to match it with the class, the style and the poise of their Chinese,
Russian and Canadian opponents.
Qualifying for finals will put them on track, medals in Melbourne for “Generation Next” will be hard
to come by – but a stepping stone to bigger and better things.
It is a team laden with Australia’s brightest young talent with their sights set high in front of a home
crowd at the Melbourne Sports And Aquatic Centre.
The Australians will be spearheaded by triple Australian gold medallist Sharleen Stratton who will
be joined by Bree Cole, her partner in their gold medal win at the 2006 Commonwealth Games
who will both be looking to replicate their performance, which wooed the Melbourne crowd just
over 12 month ago.
Teen sensation Melissa Wu, will once again line up against the worlds best on the 10m-platform at
the very same pool that has seen her take two consecutive National titles.
But unlike last year’s Games, where Wu won 10m synchro silver with former Olympic gymnast
Alex Croak, she will have a new partner in the versatile Cole.
Croak who is rising up the ranks after making the switch from Gymnastics to Diving in 2004, will
join Wu in the individual 10m.
In the men, Commonwealth Games finalist Scott Robertson – now the senior member of the male
brigade - is hoping to continue his great form leading into the World Championships.
With a number of perfect tens now under his belt Robertson is set to take on the world on both the
3m-springboard and the 10m-platform becoming Australia’s latest diving all-rounder.
Peter Hill and Grant Nel will be stepping up into the senior ranks for the very first time after some
great performances at the World Junior Championships – Hill off 10m and Nel off 1m, with
Robertson joining Hill on 10m synchro.
Melbourne will be a major stepping stone as Beijing beckons and London lingers….! – IAN
HANSON.
Their first steps into the elite senior competition are sure to be nervous ones but important as Diving Australia looks to cement its position as
one of the best nation’sDiving Australiaas invested heavily in the current crop of divers ensuring each one has gained all rnational
competition.

COMPETITIVE FORMAT
The one-metre springboard events (NON OLYMPIC) At the World Championships there shall be a preliminarary
and final competition. The final competiton shall be conducted in a tournament system, the details of which shall
be decided by the Bureau on the recommendation of the FINA Diving Technical committee.
The final shall comprise the top twelve (12) ranked divers from the preliminary competition.
3 Metre Springboard and 10 metre Platform
There shall be a preliminary, a semi-final and a final competition. The semi-final shall compromise the top
eighteen (18) ranked divers from the preliminary competition and the final shall compromise the top twelve
(12) ranked divers from the semi-final. The preliminary, semi-final and final competitions are separate events each
starting from zero (0) points.
The Women's springboard competitions shall comprise five (5) dives from different groups without limit of degree
of difficulty.
The Men's springboard competitions shall comprise six (6) dives without limit of degree of difficulty, of which one
dive shall be selected from each group, plus an additional dive which may be selected from any group.
The Women's platform competitions shall compromise five (5) dives from different groups without limit of degree
of difficulty.
The Men's platform competitions shall compromise six (6) dives from different groups without limit of degree of
difficulty.
Types of Dives
There are six different groups of platform and springboard dives. The first four types involve rotating in different
directions relative to the board and the starting position. The fifth group includes any dive with a twist, and the final
group, used in platform diving, begins with an arm stand.
1. Forward Group: The diver faces the front of the board and rotates toward the water. Dives in this
group range from the simple front dive to the difficult four and one-half somersault. Dive numbers in this
group begin with the number one (eg. 107B).
2. Backward Group: All the dives in this group begin with the diver on the end of the board with their
back to the water. The direction of rotation is away from the board. Dive numbers in this group begin with
the number two (eg. 205B).
3. Reverse Group: These dives begin with the diver facing the front of the board (using a forward
approach) and rotating towards the board. Dive numbers in this group begin the number three (eg. 305C).
4. Inward Group: The diver stands on the end of the board with their back to the water and rotates
toward the board, the opposite of the backward groups' movement. Dives numbers in this group begin
with the number four (eg. 405B).
5. Twisting Group: Any dive with a twist is included in this group. There are four types of twisting dives,
forward, backward, reverse and inward. Due to the possible combinations this group includes more dives
than any other. Dive numbers in this group begin with the number five (eg 5253B).
6. Arm stand Group: In platform diving there is a sixth, unique group of dives called 'arm stands'. here
the diver assumes a handstand position on the edge of the platform before executing the dive. Dive
numbers in this group begin with the number six (eg. 6241B).
Judging
Divers are judged by a panel of seven judges who give a score between zero (0) and ten (10) points for each dive
performed. The points awarded can categorise dives as follows:
0
completely failed
0.5-2
unsatisfactory
2.5-4.5
deficient
5.0-6.0
satisfactory
6.5-8.0
8.5-10
good
very good
In classifying a dive into one of the judging categories, certain parts of each dive must be analysed and evaluated,
and an overall award obtained.
The parts of the dive are:
1. Approach- Should be smooth but forceful showing good form.
2. Take-off- Must show control and balance, plus the proper angle of leaving and landing for the particular
dive being attempted.
3. Elevation- The amount of spring or lift a diver receives from the take-off greatly affects the appearance of
the dive. Since more height means more time, a higher dive generally affords greater accuracy and
smoothness of motion.
4. Execution- This is most important, for this is the actual dive. A judge watches for proper mechanical
performance, technique, form and grace.
5. Entry- The entry into the water is very significant because it is the last thing a judge sees and the part
probably remembered best. The two criteria evaluated at entry are the angle of entry- which should be
vertical, and the amount of splash- which should be as little as possible.
Scoring
Individual Events - when all 7 judges have allocated a score for a dive, the two highest and two lowest scores are
eliminated. When more than two judges scores are equal then, only two of the equal awards shall be
cancelled. If only five sjudges are used, the highest and lowest judges scores will be eliminated.
In sycchronised diving, the highest and lowest scores for execution, and the highest and lowest scores for
synchronisation shall be eliminated.
When two or more judges scores are equal, either or the equal scores may be cancelled.

medals and was named junior C diver of the year. This was
my highest achievement at that point.

months.

gymnastics for a couple of months and didn’t like it so I gave diving

managed to not only combine a hectic training schedule with being
a mother and a wife but went on to put Australian Diving on the

mentor to me for some time now and she has given me a great
deal of support and encouragement and taught me so much by
sharing her experiences with me.

Water Polo
AUSSIE WATER POLO TEAMS READY TO MAKE A SPLASH
A number of exciting new players will join the experienced line-ups of both the Australian men’s and
women’s water polo teams as they take on the rest of the World at the 12th FINA World
Championships in Melbourne.
The women’s team will be looking to cement their place at the top of the world rankings with a gold
medal win against some formidable opposition. With an average age of just 22, the relatively young
team is still very experienced and had a stellar 2006, winning the Commonwealth Championship and
the World Cup.
The 12th FINA World Championships will be a family affair for the team, with sisters Mel and Bec
Rippon along with their step-sister Kate Gynther leading the Aussie girls in the pool. They will be
trying to replicate the success of past Australian women’s teams at World Championships who won
gold in 1986 and bronze in Perth in 1998.
The men’s team is also a close-knit line-up, with coach David Neesham and son and team veteran
Tim hoping to secure a good result in front of a home crowd.
The men’s side will look to draw on the experience of their more senior players who play
professionally in overseas leagues. The ‘Harry Kewell’s’ of Australian Water Polo - Thomas Whalan,
Jamie Beadsworth, Sam McGregor and Pietro Figlioli, like their soccer counterparts, have gone
abroad and been contracted to play professionally in the European leagues amongst the best in the
world. They will be able to share their knowledge of the European players amongst their Aussie
teammates and help work on tactics to take on the likes of water polo heavy weights Serbia, Spain
and Hungary.
The European leagues have also been a fruitful training ground for some of Australia’s top female
players, with Rebecca Rippon, Mia Santoromito, Sophie Smith and Fiona Hammond returning from
recent overseas stints to join their teammates in Melbourne.
With the 2008 Olympic Games less than 18 months away, both teams will be looking for a strong
result at home before they take the next steps in fulfilling their goal of competing in Beijing. – JAMES

A BIT OF HISTORY
In the middle of the 19th century in Great Britain, water polo was played as an aquatic version of polo. Gaining
in popularity, it was made part of the Olympic program in Paris in 1900, where it became the first team sport in
the modern Olympics. Great Britain won the gold.
Water polo has evolved with the times. In its beginning, it was an extremely aggressive sport, where fights
were commonplace. Players were held underwater and clutching on to swimming suits was part of the game.
In 1911, FINA adopted the official rules of water polo, inspired by the Scottish version of the game with its
emphasis on passing and scoring.
At the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, a women’s event was included for the first time.
HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED
Water polo players are not allowed to touch either the sides or the bottom of the pool. The match is divided
into 4 periods of 7 minutes each, and is recognized as one of the most demanding sports in the world.
Combining technique and endurance, the swimmers must have the skill of basketball players to execute their
dribbling, passing and shooting. Teams are comprised of 13 players, only seven of whom may be in the water
at any one time.
There are many technical fouls for which penalties are called: holding the ball underwater with two hands
(except the goalkeeper); hitting the ball with the head, the fist or the foot; changing position during a stoppage
in play; keeping an opponent underwater and interfering with or splashing water in the face of an adversary.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Winning the World Cup in 2006 was a moment I will never forget. Coming 4th
at the Athens Olympics was heartbreaking but also an achievement I am
very proud of. I was MVP at the Canada Cup in 2000. Winning gold in
Manchester 2002 for the Commonwealth GamesTournament. Australian all
star team 2004 and 2005.
OUT OF THE POOL
WHAT OR WHO INSPIRES YOU: There are so many people that have given me
inspiration along the way. I carry something from each one of them when I play. They
know who they are and how much I appreciate them.
ROLE MODELS: I have a few people that I have learnt so many things from, not only
in water polo but also for my personal life. Tomaz Lasic played a big role in my early
career and a lot of my technique stems from him. Eddie Dennis has taught me so
much in goalkeeping over the last few years and I have become a more rounded
player from that. Hopefully I can continue working with him. Dani Woodhouse and
Simone Hankin have taught me so much about water polo and life and if I turn out to
be half the person they are I will be very lucky. There are others but just not enough
room!
PERSONAL
STUDIES/OCCUPATION: Customs Officer with the Australian Customs Service.
SPORTS BEFORE Water Polo/AUSTRALIAN TEAMS/MAJOR RESULTS (with

Synchronised
Swimming
2006 World Cup Team
AUSTRALIAN GIRLS IN SYNCH FOR MELBOURNE
Synchronised swimmers when compared to other Olympic athletes are second only to long distance
runners in aerobic capacity and to gymnasts in flexibility. Often described as “all-round” athletes they
must combine endurance, strength, flexibility and coordination with finely honed technical skills,
possess a strong creative streak, and develop an ability to interpret music.
Achieving this level of physical fitness and strength demands many hours of training, with pool workouts averaging 25 to 30 hours each week and additional hours in other fitness activities.
To execute the underwater portion of the routines, the swimmer must be trained to hold her
breath, whilst also moving her legs above the water, or supporting her team mates in the execution of a
platform, lift or throw.
In the sport’s solo, duet and team events, movement is Synchronised to music. In duet and team, the
athlete must also swim in harmony with her team members. In every event, strength, endurance and
coordination combine with grace and beauty in a display of athleticism.
Australia has been competing in World Championships Belgrade 1973, in the Solo event, and with
duets and solos in the following years. The first team to compete at a World Championships was in
Madrid in 1986, and since then Australia has been represented at World Championship events in either
Solo, duet or the team events, the last one being in 2005 in Montreal.
Australia also competed at the first Olympic Games for Synchronised Swimming in 1984 in Los Angeles
and have only missed one Olympic event since that year.
The base squad for the World Championships in Melbourne was formed following the World
Championships in Montreal in 2005, with further selections held and the final team of (10) selected in
2006.
The Team will compete in the Solo, Duet and Team events. – JACINTA GUTHRIE

Ten Athletes have been named in the team events but eight will be named. The coach has the discretion under
Fina rules to name the eighth (8th) swimmer up to 2 hours prior to the routine being swum, provided that the
swimmer is already listed on the entry form. (FINA SS 13.2.1)
A BRIEF HISTORY
An aquatic version of gymnastics, Synchronised swimming was popularized in the 1920s. After being
introduced as a demonstration sport in the 1952, 1956, and 1968 Olympics, Synchronised swimming
made its competition debut in the first world championships, which were held in Belgrade in 1973
before becoming an official Olympic event in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. From then on,
Synchronised swimming is gaining in popularity.
The sport is divided in four different events: solo, duet, team of eight swimmers, and combination. The
first three events are made of two programs, the technical and free. The combination event is a mix of
the solo, duet and team routine.
HOW IT IS DONE
Don’t let their smile fool you… Synchronised swimming athletes must master technique, strength,
power and grace. Moreover, they must perform most of the figures under water, which is why the nose
plug is a must. Underwater speakers also play an important role since they allow swimmers to hear the
music and Synchronise their movements.
EVALUATION
In the technical program, swimmers perform mandatory figures in a precise order. In the free program,
athletes present a choreography at their image, there are no restrictions. Also, whether it is a technical
or free routine, the athletes can chose their swimsuits and music.
Synchronised swimmers are judged on a scale of 10. There are two panels of five judges each; one
focuses on the technical merit while the other evaluates the overall artistic impression. Judges also take
into consideration technique, execution, creativity and ease of performance.
