Should at be Synchronised swimming - http://www.fina.org/project/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=49&Itemid=119 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.192.244 (talk) 11:03, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
As per the above comment, this article should be at Synchronised swimming as per the spelling in the FINA rules for the sport. --Nick Moss (talk) 07:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Presence of MEN in the competitions Please can you take note : most European countries have modified their rules to allow men to compete in regional and national meetings, against women or not; France even allows male only podiums since 2003, if the number of participants is sufficient. The first international meeting in which men competed was IGLA PARIS 2000. It was a master's competition. Since, men were seen swimming at IGLA 2003 in San Francisco, IGLA 2004 in Fort Lauderdale, Outgames 2006 in Montréal, IGLA PARIS 2007, Eurogames 2008 in Barcelona, Outgames 2009 in Copenhagen, Gay Games 2010 in Cologne, not to forget Men's Cup 1 in Prague (2005), 2 in Stockholm (2007), 3 in Milano (2009), and 4 next year in Amsterdam - and I miss a few !!

This article appears extremely US-centric, and to a lesser extent focused on other English-speaking countries to the exclusion of everything else. For example, I don't think a detailed rundown of every state high school association promoting the sport or a link to all those clubs are needed in an overview article. If this US-centered material is encyclopedic and notable, shouldn't it be offloaded to Synchronized swimming in the United States? Perhaps I should submit this at Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias? - PhilipR (talk) 17:31, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
I agree - the list of "sample" clubs just adds to the impression (despite the apologetic introduction). 621PWC (talk) 17:30, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
This edit appears to have been well-intentioned, and thanks to the anonymous editor for attempting to improve the article. However, the changes are not well-sourced and some may be POV. At some point someone should check these edits and either provide sources, revert them, or at least clean them up a bit as needed. - PhilipR (talk) 05:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Isn't that just what you did? Indeed, that very sort of thing is what gives many of our lives meaning (although by saying that, I don't mean to cast aspersions on anyone's reputation as being in demand beyond the confines of WP). Also, as you posted this around 14 years ago, it's entirely possible that you may have since realized that WP often works just as you've described it. – AndyFielding (talk) 10:24, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
The page, so far, lacks one important piece of balance: the controversy over whether synchronised swimming should continue to be an Olympic sport. It would be good if someone could write this and provide good source attribution. This is not my field so I do not feel qualified. 621PWC (talk) 17:33, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
The title of this article is "Synchronised..." and the first sentence says "Synchronized...". What happened? tablo (talk) 22:43, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
got any info on the athletes or synchronised swimming history/how it is today ???????? Olive pop (talk) 08:59, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
if you want to take a good and a artist photos go to : www.sincroretiro.es or com i dont remember the protograf are a dad of a children of this club: Miguel Toledano and the club is in spain in madrid —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.14.105.81 (talk) 21:40, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
I feel there should be some examples of figures. The section is very brief. I think there should be a few examples at least, since figures are a big part of an overall teams score when it comes to nationally competing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Its dan rad (talk • contribs) 18:51, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
I'll admit that I only skimmed the article, so it may have mentioned it and I missed it; but how does one synchronized by ones self? Is it just the normal theatrics/acrobatics just individually as apposed to with a partner/group?
Whatever it is, the article should mention it whatever it is; assuming, again, that it doesn't already. 67.42.38.72 (talk) 11:56, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

What does "height" in this sentence mean? "An average eggbeater height is usually around collarbone level." I thought that "height" refers to a distance (from a bottom level to a top level).
Does it mean that the collarbone is approximately at the water surface? --Austrian (talk) 07:13, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
I came to the article to find out how many people are in a team, but while there are currently 27 instances of the word "team", there is only one mention of the number (in "Competitions" in the US subsection) and that is only parenthetical, and it's merely a range (4-8). Could someone precisely specify at least the Olympic rules number? I looked elsewhere to see if I could find the info and add it myself, but it is surprisingly difficult to find. I believe (based on a couple of Olympic sites, and tea USA.org) that nine athletes get registered, but only eight compete. But that could be nine from whom eight are picked per swim; or eight from whom a smaller number are picked per swim (and with the ninth being only for injury-substitution purposes); or something else. Whenever someone adds the info, could you ensure it's put (or at least mentioned) in the lead since it does seem to be a fairly important point. Thanks! 2605:6000:F369:D000:448F:A4EC:D305:2DA7 (talk) 16:32, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
The FINA rules need to be updated on a regular basis. Most countries abide by the FINA rules, so I think it's important that those are kept up. We all know that synchronized swimmers want to be taken seriously, so current information for everything is key. Lets keep up the editing and make it a great page!

Hello all. Since July 2017, the global governing body FINA has renamed the sport of synchronized swimming as artistic swimming.[1] All event references and rules by FINA are now for artistic swimming and not synchronised swimming.[2]
I propose to make the article artistic swimming as the main article (requesting a history move to the said title). If there's any opposition to this, please do mention here. Thanks, Lourdes 00:17, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. No prospect of consensus to move at this time. Andrewa (talk) 15:25, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Synchronised swimming → Artistic swimming – It is time to revisit moving this page, two years after the discussion above and three years after the name was changed (see https://swimswam.com/fina-renames-synchronized-swimming/). The name of this sport is currently artistic swimming as per the international governing body FINA (see http://www.fina.org/discipline/artistic-swimming) and the International Olympic Committee (see https://www.olympic.org/artistic-swimming). The new name was used at 2019 World Aquatics Championships (see https://www.fina-gwangju2019.com/) and the 2018 Asian Games (see https://en.asiangames2018.id/sport/artistic-swimming/). It will used at the 2020 Summer Olympics (see https://tokyo2020.org/en/sports/artistic-swimming/) and the 2020 European Aquatics Championships (see https://len-budapest2020.com/artistic/). Most national governing bodies have now followed suit, such as USA Artistic Swimming, whose CEO stated in 2020 that "19 of the top 25 countries in the world are either partially or fully using the name artistic swimming" (see https://www.sportstravelmagazine.com/usa-synchro-rebrands-to-usa-artistic-swimming/).

Why does "cheerleading" hyperlink to the article on competitive swimming? --FlailingMadness (talk) 01:21, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
Is that last part literal? Granted, I'd find it quite challenging to control my breath—or much of anything—were I to have to hold myself upside down underwater (which, fortunately, hasn't happened yet). But I wonder if this actually means "…exceptional breath control when submerged." If so, I'd say that. (I haven't presumed it to change it myself, as my own synchronized swimming experience—as you may have guessed by now—is negligible.) – AndyFielding (talk) 10:11, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
Came here hoping to find an answer, but besides acknowledging it's what the sport is most famous for no one seems to address why they pull such over the top silly faces, or do weird things like waddle out like penguins, or robots, and put their nose plugs in all at the same time. Are they being weird for the sake of being weird? Is it to draw attention to the sport as 'that weird sport'? Tbh it's ALL I think of when I think of the sport, and according to my extensive trawling of the internet tonight it is literally all anyone else thinks of too. So I had hoped there'd be SOME reference to it here. Has no one ever really explained this mystery? 2001:8003:2961:AD00:50FD:2CD8:8930:2A5B (talk) 07:41, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
