Synchronized Swimming
1 It’s part swimming, part gymnastics, and
part dance. It’s synchronized swimming, one
of the more unusual sports in the Olympic
Games. Many people love to watch it. The
5 swimmers move their bodies in and out,
forward and back, on the surface and under
water. They move in perfect time with each
other and the music.
Synchronized swimming was first called
10 “water ballet.” It’s easy to see why. It’s like
ballet. And like ballet, it seems easy, but it
isn’t. The swimmers seem natural and
relaxed, but they have to train for a long
time. Many exercises are done underwater,
15 so they have to hold their breath for as long
as two minutes. It takes a lot of strength,
power, and energy.
Synchronized swimming first began in
Europe in the 1890s. At that time, swimmers
20 often trained outside, in rivers or in lakes.
The first synchronized swimmers were
men. But by the middle of the 20th century,
most synchronized swimmers were women.
Swimmers sometimes performed in the
25 theater, where they swam in large water
tanks on the stage! Later, some Hollywood
musicals used synchronized swimmers. The
swimmer/actress Esther Williams starred in
movies such as Bathing Beauty in 1944 and
30 Million Dollar Mermaid in 1952.
Synchronized swimming became an
Olympic sport in 1984. In the Olympic
Games, swimmers work in teams of nine
athletes or in pairs. They show their skills by
35 doing special movements above and below
the water. They do not touch the bottom of
the pool. Instead, they move their hands like
flippers and kick their feet. This helps them
stay up in the water. Like all Olympic
40 athletes, they work very hard. Their dream is
the same: to win a medal for their country in
the Olympic Games.
