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 Teacher’s 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.
