The routine technique requires strict actions. Although athletes can choose their own music accompaniment, they must make a set of action combinations according to regulations. The technical committee of water ballet redefines the designated movements every four years. An athlete must complete the routine in 10 seconds, 20 seconds for a double team and 2 minutes and 50 seconds for a big team.

Free performance

Eight people and two people choose their own music and movements in free performances. Their goal is to create a set of creative and recognizable movements, and the combination also needs to include difficult movements. A set of such combinations should include changes in mood and speed, as well as innovative movements, complex combinations and combination changes, and spectacular movements. Free performance time: 4 minutes for couples and 5 minutes for eight people.

Stay on the water

In all movements, the athlete has 10 seconds to float on the water, if the athlete chooses. This action can leave a good impression on the referee and the audience. Although this action is not in the scoring range, it can leave a good first impression.

4. Technical value

The technical value depends on what the athlete has accomplished when doing special movements. Including execution, coordination and difficulty.

The implementation depends on the swimming style, propulsion skills and forms. Athletes should do their movements easily in the water. The referee also depends on the endurance of the athletes. A top athlete should maintain a high-quality swimming style and make good use of propulsion techniques from the beginning to the end of the competition, and their patterns should be as simple and difficult as at the beginning.

In terms of coordination, the referee should look at the cooperation between athletes and teammates and watch music. Members of a group of eight or two should coordinate their movements, positions and transposition. They should coordinate their actions on water and underwater.

When considering the difficulty, the referee should not only look at the skill and strength of the athletes, but also look at the difficulty of the swimming methods and modes of the athletes in the water. Another consideration is the "adventure element"-athletes must demonstrate quite difficult skills in the competition.

5. Artistic impression

Artistic impression refers to the overall feeling of action combination. The judges who judge the artistic perception observe the creativity and diversity of athletes' action combinations. They want to see the consistency of athletes' movements and whether the movements express the emotional changes expressed by music.

mark

Like diving and gymnastics, the referee scores athletes with special standards, with the highest score of 10. The referee calculated the score to one decimal place. Two of the five judges are by the pool, one judges the technical quality and the other considers the artistic performance of the players.

When the referee finishes his consideration, the athletes' scoring will begin. Next, remove the highest and lowest scores in the five-person judging group and calculate the remaining three scores on average. Then add 60% of the average score to the technical score, which is multiplied by 6, and the artistic impression score is multiplied by 4. The sum of these two scores is equal to the score of the action combination. It's not over yet. In order to decide who is the champion and ranking, routine performance and free performance scored 35% and 65% respectively. Obviously, free performance is more important. In order to calculate the final score, the routine performance and the free performance are multiplied by 0.35 and 0.65 respectively, and the final score is the sum of the two items.

7. Deduct points

In routine performances and free performances, athletes will be fined 2 points for serious fouls. For example, athletes touch the bottom of the pool to help themselves or their teammates. If you accidentally touch the bottom of the pool, it is not a foul. Minor fouls will be deducted 1 point, such as overtime.

8. Other rules

If an athlete voluntarily gives up the competition, his team will be disqualified. If an athlete intentionally interferes with his opponent during the game, his team will be fined 2 points. In the routine performance, all members of the combination must make the prescribed actions at the same time, except the cross action, floating action and split action. The background music shall not exceed 90 decibels above the water surface, and occasional noise of 100 decibels is allowed. If the scores of the two groups are the same, look at two or three digits after the decimal point and calculate the number of components. Section 3 Guide to Watching Synchronized Swimming

Synchronized swimming requires athletes to properly express their understanding of the connotation of the soundtrack through body language expression. In the whole set of movements, the strength and speed of movements echo each other with the music, so it is very important for athletes to grasp the music on the spot.

This also gives the audience a difficult problem. How to express your feelings properly without affecting the athletes' listening to the music clearly? Strictly speaking, the audience watching the synchronized swimming competition should not make any noise from the time when the athletes prepare by the pool, until the athletes finish the competition, and finally greet the judges and the audience in the pool. Because there is music in the middle, applause and applause will affect the athletes' judgment of rhythm. If the audience wants to applaud, it should be after the athletes complete the whole set of movements and the live music is over.

The music used in any set of synchronized swimming has a clear ideological theme. Around this ideological theme, athletes and coaches will simulate some shapes and scenes in the water according to the theme when designing movements, so as to achieve the purpose of mutual cooperation and mutual embodiment of movements and music. In this case, if the audience can understand, they can use their own body language, such as waving, to cooperate with the athletes in the stands. Athletes in the water will be encouraged when they find that their actions have been recognized by the audience and aroused their * * *.

The audience should enter and leave the venue in an orderly manner and arrive at the venue before the competition, which is the minimum respect for athletes, coaches and referees.

Glass bottles and cans are not allowed, and only soft-packed drinks are allowed during the competition.

Garbage should be put in a convenient bag or paper bag and taken out by yourself.

The audience's clothes should be neat and generous, not too casual.

At the beginning of the race, especially when the athletes are ready to start, they must keep quiet and don't eat, chat or make noise with each other. You'd better not walk around during the game.

The audience must remember that no flashing lights are allowed in the swimming pool.

The mobile phone should be turned off or set to vibrate and mute.

Smoking is prohibited in the venue.

After the athletes complete the whole set of movements, the audience can shout their favorite athletes' names and slogans under the unified command of the cheerleaders, but they can't shout uncivilized language.

The players played well and the audience applauded. When introducing athletes from all over the world, we should also give them support and encouragement, and we should not boo them.

After the game, the winners will be awarded medals and their national anthem will be played. At this time, the audience should all stand up and be silent.
