Synchronized swimming is when 2 or more people doing the exact same moves in the water at the exact same time and there is also synchronized diving, which is when 2 people do the same style of dive in synch (at the same time). Swimmers are literally dancing in the water and for that reason the sport used to be called water Ballet. Some moves resemble gymnastics - somersaults, flips, pikes, tucks, and walkovers. They also spin upside down a lot and sometimes link their legs together. The only limit to what they can do in the water is they can't touch the pool walls or floor at any time. Routines are choreographed based on the music, just like in figure skating. The Olympic swimmers are amazing because they make it look so easy!

Yes, its actually called "Ballet in the water" but lately not every synchronized swimming is doing graceful ballet. for example, they could be doing a fast edgy routine or a flowing seductive one. i have been doing synchro for four years and i have seen many different routines. i hope this answered your question!!
