UNDER 12 YEARS- f
Synchronized swimming is a re
latively new sport to Texans, but
is rapidly proving to be a comer
in popularity. It is a mixture of
movements and interpretive forma
tions set to music.
Some of the favorite tunes used
are “Little Jumping J a c k,”
“Tango,” and “The Fantasy of
Namakahakahai.”
Props Add Color
Atmosphere for the events is
created by colorful props, colored
lights, decorated inter-tubs, and
the most up-to-date bathing suits.
Synchronized swimming differs
from water ballet, floating forma
tions, and rhythmic and oranment-
al swimming in that it depends
upon music and is an interpretation
of the meaning of the song.
Costuming is toward fancier and
more interpretative • costumes as
the swimming meets* become com-
petative. More recent developments
have been swim fins and small
scenery-type props to add color
and atmosphere to entrances per
formed on the pool deck. Synch
ronized Swimming was originated
by Katherine Curtis in the 1920’s
and became an official sport in
1945.
Tickets may be purchased from
any member of the water polo
team for 50 cents. Tickets will also
be sold at the door if there are
any left.
