Water Sports - Synchronised Swimming

A very demanding and complex discipline, synchronised swimming requires very high cardio-respiratory strength and muscular energy. Athletes must be flexible, powerful, creative and enduring. This discipline requires concentration to follow the musical rhythm, to move around and to find one's bearings in three dimensions in the water. Close to dance but not to be confused with water dance, synchronised swimmers must demonstrate grace, elegance, beauty and suppleness but also muscle tone.
