The History of Synchronized Swimming
Synchronized swimming is an ancient sport. It is as old as the Olympics itself. As far back as ancient Rome, Julius Caesar is reported to have flooded amphitheaters and dug lakes to model or reenact significant naval battles. During these reenactments, prisoners were often forced to fight each other to death or, better still, drown while fighting.
However, there were less violent swimming activities in ancient Rome. The Colosseum used to have spectacles in which women acted as water nymphs and nereids in water-filled amphitheaters. These women often swam in really sophisticated and irregular dimensions. They formed different shapes and characters while swimming.
It is, however, essential to note that modern synchronized swimming as it is known today has its origin in the 20th century. During this period, it was simply known as water ballet, and it is recorded to have started as far back as 1891 in Berlin, Germany.
Consequently, in 1907, an Australian swimmer known as Annette Kellerman became very famous after performing in a glass tank at the New York Hippodrome. Due to her sophisticated skills and unique swimming styles. Annette Kellerman eventually laid the foundation for the advent of ornamental swimming. Ornamental swimming was a swimming event developed by some Canadian women.

Captain Matthew Webb was the first to swim the English Channel in 1875 using breaststroke. International swimming federations were established in the late 1800s, and the first European swimming championships were held in 1889, with the first women's championship occurring in Scotland in 1892.
