WATER IS OUR STAGE
Artistic swimming is like dancing in the water! It is a hybrid of swimming, dancing and gymnastics that involves artistic moves being performed in the water to music. Athletes will choose a theme or story and choreograph a routine to music to show off strength, flexibility and aerobic endurance.

Judges mark routines on Artistic Impression, Difficulty and Technical Merit.
