Artistic Swimming also called synchronized swimming is a sport where swimmers perform a synchronized choreographed routine, accompanied by music 

The objective of artistic swimming is to ensure that all the swimmers have the same exact movements which blends flawlessly with the music. The legs should never touch the floor. In order to win, a team of artistic swimmers has to perform two sets of routines, a technical routine and a free routine. The team with the best technical merit, execution, difficulty and synchronization and best overall presentation receives the highest amount of points. In order to be the best performer, swimmers must work on strength in order to perform twists and lifts. Swimmers should be able to hold their breath for about a minute. Swimmers need to have rhyme and flair to be able to synchronize and interpret the music.

There are multiple types of synchronized swimming that you can do.

• Solos: one individual synchronized to the music. This is no longer possible for competition because there's no teammate to synchronize with.
• Duets: two swimmers coordinate with the teacher to the music 
• Teams: 4-8 members coordinate in time to music
• Combination: where a team of up to ten swimmers will do one continuous routine and during certain segment different numbers of swimmers will perform

• A nose clip to prevent water from getting into athletes nose because there requires a lot of underwater movements
• Underwater speakers so swimmers can hear the music in the water
• Swimsuit
