The Perfect Beginner's Guide to Synchronized Swimming.

Just because you are new to the sport does not mean you cannot try some basic synchronised swimming moves. These positions are easy enough to master in one day.

If there is a more experienced swimmer in the pool with you, have them demonstrate these moves so you can have a better idea visually of what you are about to attempt. You probably have not learnt much in terms of sculling yet, so just try to use your hands as best as you can to hold yourself up while your legs are busy with these moves.

Synchronised swimming routines are essentially a series of athletic movements performed in water and choreographed to music.

There are a huge range of synchronised swimming moves used by swimmers to impress the judges.

These are called figures and are typically movements between one or more of the 19 basic synchronised swimming positions.

The majority of figures also involve the swimmer holding their legs out of the water."
