Athens 2004 viewers guide Other sports Synchronized swimming By EMILY NIPPS, Times Staff Writer Published August 8, 2004 ABOUT THE SPORT: Evolved from the elegant water ballet of the early 1900s and popularized by 1940s underwater actor and athlete Esther Williams, synchronized swimming is one of the more showy, captivating sports. It took on a new look in 1996 when the solo and duet events were dropped for the team format (eight performers in the water at once). Duets returned in 2000. Competitions are judged on technical and free routines. The technical routine requires the execution of nine required elements in a specific order within 2 minutes, 50 seconds for teams (eight elements in 2:20 for duets). The free routine allows competitors to choose the choreography and music and has a longer time limit. LOOKING GOOD: A lot of time and effort is put into a swimmer's appearance. Unflavored gelatin is used to sculpt hair off the face, and swimmers sometimes decorate their hair with glitter or paint. Many swimmers use more aesthetically appealing gelatin plugs rather than a nose clip to keep water from their sinuses. And each swimmer must wear an identical smile, no matter how difficult or painful a routine might be.
