SYNCHRONISED SWIMMING

Synchronised Swimming training plans, built for your goal

You might know this sport as synchronised swimming — it was renamed Artistic Swimming internationally years ago, but the training hasn't changed: routines performed upside-down and underwater on a held breath, powered by a leg-only eggbeater kick strong enough to lift the torso clear of the water, all while staying in time with teammates. SportBlox builds your training plan around your goal, current level and whether you're training solo, duet or team elements.

Who it's for

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like breath-hold duration under exertion, eggbeater kick height and stamina, staying in time with a partner or team and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

For coaches

Coaching a synchronised swimming team?

SportBlox builds your team's training plan around the squad as a whole — its goals, weaknesses and upcoming events — and you review and refine every session before your athletes see it.

FAQ

Synchronised Swimming training plan FAQ

Is synchronised swimming the same sport as artistic swimming?

Yes — it's the same sport under its older name. World Aquatics renamed it Artistic Swimming, but the training here covers exactly the same skills: breath-hold, eggbeater strength, flexibility and choreography timing.

Does it cater for duet or team routines specifically?

Yes — tell it whether you're training solo, duet or team elements and sessions add the relevant synchronisation and lift work.

Is it suitable for someone new to the sport?

Yes, set skill level to Inexperienced and the plan starts with water confidence, basic sculling and eggbeater technique before figure work.

How does it handle breath-hold training safely?

Apnea sessions progress gradually and should always be practised with a trained coach or buddy present, never alone.

Will it fit around my club's pool time?

Tell it your existing club sessions and supplementary conditioning and flexibility work is scheduled around them.
