Synchronized swimming
The great Australian swimmer, Annette Kellerman, student at the University
of Wisconsin, planted the first seed of what was to become synchronized
swimming when she performed a water ballet in a glass tank in New York in
1907.Katherine Curtis, an American woman, was very inspired by the water
sport. So she tried to get synchronized swimming added to the physical
education programme for female students. In 1923 she founded a water
ballet club at the University of Chicago and sixty swimmers of the club
attracted national and international publicity .The sport quickly became
popular among young women in Chicago. Curtis developed the competition
rules, based essentially on the scoring methods used in gymnastics and
diving .The first recorded competition was held on May 27,1939, between
Chicago Teachers College coached by Curtis and Wright Junior college of
Illinois. Shortly afterwards, the Central Association of the Amateur Athletics
Union (AAU) staged the first multi-team competition on March 1, 1940. The
following year, the AAU officially accepted synchronized swimming as a
competitive sport for team events. In 1946 the first formal national
championships were conducted by the AAU.Synchronized swimming
became an Olympic event at the Los Angeles Games in 1984.
