there are 5 or 6 judges who mark the swimmers out of ten (including decimals) normally, the judges will get a score sheet beforehand telling them (for the specific competition) what thing deserves what mark. the judges simply sit at poolside and hold uptheir marks at the end!

Also if someone on your team doesn't do an element (required parts in the routine) the team gets penalized.
