Yes, synchronized swimming is a sport.
Gymnastics, Diving, Figure Skating, and Synchronized Swimming.
It became an Olympic sport in 1984.
Yes, it has been since 1984 but the Olympics never had every event in the sport.
From Canada synchronized swimming, or water ballet as it was known in its early years, moved to the United States. The sport received its first big boost in 1934 when it was part of the World's Fair in Chicago. Shortly afterwards, the United States Amateur Athletic Union recognised the sport and national championships began. By 1948 synchronized swimming was a exhibition sport at the Olympics, but it was forced to serve an extended apprenticeship. After five appearances as a non-medal sport, synchronized swimming made its full Olympic debut at Los Angeles in 1984.
That was the 2000 Games in Sydney.
The actual term is Synchronized Swimming, and is definitely a sport. It is an Olympic sport as well. You need exceptional endurance, strength, and flexibility to participate.
