IV. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answ er.
Synchronized swimming is a hybrid form of swimming, dance and figure skating, consisting of
swimmers (either individuals, duets, trios, teams or combos) performing a synchronized routine of
elaborate and dramatic moves in the water, accompanied by music. Synchronized swimming
demands advanced water skills, and requires strength, endurance, flexibility, grace, artistry and
precise timing, not to mention exceptional breath control while upside down underwater.
Developed in the early 1900s in Canada, it is a sport performed almost exclusively by women,
although there is some participation by men. In its early form it was sometimes known as “water ballet”.
It is a Summer Olympic Games sport. First demonstrated in 1952, it has been an official event since
1984. Olympic and World Championship competition is not currently open to men, but other
international and national competitions allow male competitors. Both USA Synchro and Synchro
