Synchronized swimming, also known as water ballet, is a very difficult water sport, and it is also an artistic and elegant sport, with beautiful movements but actually difficult. Let's take a look at the basic movements of synchronized swimming.
Basic movements of synchronized swimming 1 professional movements of synchronized swimming include: floating, torpedo, horizontal bar, parallel bars, flamingo, forward bending, split, low handstand, master handstand, upright, knight, forward step, handstand turn, handstand sharp turn, backspin, topspin, rushing up, treading water and so on.
Synchronized swimming originated in Europe. At first, it was just an entertainment program between two swimming competitions. 1920, Curtis arranged somersaults in diving and gymnastics and performed them in the water. After 1930, synchronized swimming was introduced to North America and gradually matched with dance, music and rhythm on the original basis.
Synchronized swimming was listed as a performance event at the 65438-0952 Helsinki Olympic Games. From 65438 to 0956, synchronized swimming was recognized by the International Amateur Swimming Federation. 1984, synchronized swimming was listed as an event of the Los Angeles Olympic Games.
The highest organization of synchronized swimming in the world is the International Swimming Federation, which was founded in 1908 and headquartered in Switzerland, with the aim of promoting the development of world swimming.
In China, the highest synchronized swimming organization is the China Swimming Association, which was founded in 1956. Its task is to participate in international and domestic competitions such as swimming, diving, water polo and synchronized swimming.
Technical value of synchronized swimming;
The technical value is to see what the athlete has accomplished when doing special movements. Including implementation, coordination and difficulty.
Execution: Execution depends on swimming style, propulsion skills and forms. Athletes should do their movements easily in the water. The referee also depends on the endurance of the athletes. A top athlete should maintain a high-quality swimming style and make good use of propulsion techniques from the beginning to the end of the competition, and their patterns should be as simple and difficult as at the beginning.
Coordination: in this respect, the referee depends on the cooperation between athletes and teammates and the music. Members of a group of eight or two should coordinate their movements, positions and transposition. They should coordinate their actions on water and underwater.
Difficulty: When considering the difficulty, the referee looks at the skill and strength of the athletes. The referee also depends on the swimming method and the difficulty of the pattern in the water. Another consideration is the "adventure element"-athletes must demonstrate quite difficult skills in the competition.

The routine technique requires strict actions. Although athletes can choose their own music accompaniment, they must make a set of action combinations according to regulations. The technical committee of water ballet redefines the designated movements every four years. An athlete must complete the routine in 10 seconds, the double combination in 20 seconds and the big group in 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
Free performance
Eight people and two people choose their own music and movements in free performances. Their goal is to create a set of creative and recognizable movements, and the combination also needs to include difficult movements. A set of such combinations should include changes in mood and speed, as well as innovative movements, complex combinations and combination changes, and spectacular movements. Free performance time: 4 minutes for couples and 5 minutes for eight people.
Water surface stay
In all movements, the athlete has 10 seconds to float on the water, if the athlete chooses. Although this action is not in the scoring range, it can leave a good impression on the referee and the audience.
artistic impression
Artistic impression refers to the overall feeling of action combination. The judges who judge the artistic perception observe the creativity and diversity of athletes' action combinations. They want to see the consistency of athletes' movements and whether the movements express the emotional changes expressed by music.
Brief introduction of synchronized swimming
Synchronized swimming is a kind of swimming events. It was originally an underwater performance during the intermission in the swimming competition. Composed of swimming, skills, dance and music, it is called "underwater ballet".
Synchronized swimming is an artistic and elegant sport. It also needs strength and skill, and it takes years of continuous training to master it. There are ten referees watching their every move. Athletes must do a lot of pushing, turning and bending, and these movements can't rely on the ground at the bottom of the pool. You should also stretch without breathing, and the routine action should last for five minutes during the performance.
Basic movements of synchronized swimming 3 synchronized swimming training methods
Swimming training of synchronized swimming improves the overall level of physical function and lays a good foundation for special training. At present, the main significance of swimming training for our club members is to improve their physical fitness, enhance their sense of water and increase their speed in water.
Synchronized swimming training includes land endurance, strength and flexibility training and dance expression; Water includes swimming, adjustment, optional action exercises, and later psychological, relaxation, stretching and recovery exercises. Among them, swimming training improves the energy supply system of athletes, improves muscle strength, flexibility, coordination and water sense, and promotes the development of special physical fitness. Its ultimate goal is to improve the ability of players to complete the required movements and optional movements.
In synchronized swimming, most of the required movements are holding your breath. In this case, the change of body position and posture is slow and uniform, which requires the players to have excellent anaerobic ability. However, the exercise of prescribed movements itself is relatively poor in improving anaerobic function. Therefore, in order to improve the anaerobic level, we must establish excellent physical fitness, which is one of the purposes of swimming training.
There are many differences between synchronized swimming training and competitive swimming training in nature, purpose, content and training methods. For example, in terms of sports mode, competitive swimming pursues speed, followed by periodic high-intensity training, repeating, trying and improving different technical movements to achieve the best speed embodiment.
Synchronized swimming pursues difficulty, dexterity and stability. Exercise muscle groups change at any time. Most muscle groups in the body need good explosive power, but also need excellent switching ability, so that different muscle groups can move alternately. In the swimming training of synchronized swimming, there are few exercises of 800m or more, which also reflects the characteristics of synchronized swimming.
Synchronized swimming competition has high requirements for the effect of athletes' paddling and the utilization of water areas, and swimming technical practice is to improve the action efficiency and maximize physical fitness through reasonable and advanced technical training. It can be seen that synchronized swimming can not only improve the sense of water and promote the improvement of paddling effect, but also optimize the use of limited energy through swimming training.
