Artistic swimming, formerly known as synchronized swimming, will feature at the 2024 Paris Olympics with men allowed to compete for the first time. Stanford University secured multiple titles in the 2024 season, dominating events in the Collegiate National Championships. A new scoring system in artistic swimming, similar to figure skating, aims to reduce subjectivity and enhance the sport's athleticism and creativity. The absence of Russia in the upcoming Olympics, along with the scoring changes, has created an open field for competitors, promising a more thrilling and unpredictable competition.
