Synchronized Swimming
Table of Contents The great Australian swimmer, Annette Kellerman, planted the first seed of what was to become synchronized swimming when she performed "water ballet" in a glass tank at the New York Hippodrome in 1907. Katherine "Kay" Curtis didn't see the performance, but she may well have been inspired by newspaper accounts. As a student at the University of Wisconsin in 1915, Curtis began experimenting with underwater swimming stunts. The following year, she was instrumental in having synchronized swimming added to the school's physical education program for women. Curtis moved on to the University of Chicago, where she founded a water ballet club in 1923. Sixty of her swimmers, known as the "Modern Mermaids," performed at the 1934 Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago, attracting national and international publicity. The sport quickly became popular among young women in the Chicago area and Curtis developed rules for competition, based essentially on the scoring methods used in gymnastics, diving, and figure skating. The first recorded competition was held May 27, 1939, between Chicago Teacher's College, coached by Curtis, and Wright Junior College, also in Chicago.

    ABOUT SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING
    HISTORY
    It started as a male sport, with the earliest recorded competition in 1890 in Berlin. It has persevered under a myriad of names, including artistic, ornamental, scientific, figure or pattern swimming, as well as water ballet. By the turn of the century, though, women had come to the fore of synchronized swimming. A champion Australian swimmer, Annette Kellerman delighted audiences with dances performed in a glass tank of water in New York in 1907. Interest began to build. In 1924 in Montreal, the world's first provincial championship was held. The first champion, Peg Seller, became an important pioneer for the fledgling sport, and from there it spread to the US, where it soon flourished in amateur swimming clubs nationwide. Chicago later emerged as the hub of the sport's development, beginning with a stunning display at the 1934 World's Fair. Diver and former gymnast Katherine Curtis trained 60 swimmers, known as The Modern Mermaids, in a series of moves that gave birth to the term "synchronized swimming." It's international popularity soared further when swimmer Esther Williams performed in a string of MGM "aqua musicals" in the 1940s and '50s. By then a contracted star at MGM, she starred in several films, known as "aqua musicals," centered around synchronized swimming. One of the biggest, Million Dollar Mermaid, was an affectionate portrait of Annette Kellerman.

    Olympic History: Synchronized Swimming
    Synchronized swimming had its formative influences in the early 1900s in the United States. The early beginnings of the sport can be traced to 1907, when Annette Kellerman caught the national eye as the first underwater ballerina by performing "water ballet" at the New York Hippodrome. Soon after in 1916, synchronized swimming was integrated into the physical education program at the University of Wisconsin. The first known competition in the United States was a meet between two colleges in 1939. Two years later, the Amateur Athletic Union adopted synchronized swimming as a competitive sport for duet and team events.

    The Legend Takes One Last Splash
    At the end of the last lap of Janet Evans' career, she ducked under the buoys and floated over to embrace the cocky teen who backed up a boast to take her place. In that poignant moment in the pool, America's greatest and most beloved woman swimmer let go of any lingering animosity she harbored toward fellow American Brooke Bennett, 15. She also let go of a lifetime's work and symbolically passed the torch to Bennett, the new 800-meter freestyle gold medalist.

    Fanny Letourneau of Deux-Montagnes, Que., and Claire Carver-Dias of Toronto performed a quirky, funky, at times visionary and at other times simply bizarre routine in the final of the pairs synchronized swimming which left them out of the medals at the Olympic Games on Tuesday.
    The pair came into the finals facing an uphill battle after placing fifth in the preliminaries. Things got worse when they were the fifth of 12 teams to perform in the final. They finished in fifth place.
    "We feel we're pioneers in the sport," said Carver-Dias, water streaming down a multi-hued suit which looked like it started out white but had been washed with too many bright colours.

    Abstracts of Most Recent Issue of Journal of Olympic History Vol. 8, No. 2 From the Trenches to the Track, and Back (by Harry Gordon). pp. 7-10. Australian Olympic historian Harry Gordon discusses the many Olympic athletes who have fought for their nation during wartime. He begins with the story of Claude Smeal, an Australian soldier who ran the 1952 marathon. Further discussion centered on several British soldiers who honored themselves both on the battlefield and the Olympic arena. Gordon ends the article by discussing the relationship of Jesse Owens and Lutz Long, which began at the 1936 Olympics, and ended with the death of Long while fighting in North Africa during World War II. The Olympic Bribery Scandal (by Bill Mallon). pp. 11-27. This long article attempts to be the most complete, and accurate, summary of the events surrounding the Olympic Scandal of 1999. The article is based on primary documentary sources, including all the reports issued in 1999 that evaluated the status of the scandal. These included the Pound Report (IOC), the Mitchell Report (USOC), the Sheridan Report (Sydney), and the Salt Lake City Board of Ethics Report (Salt Lake City 2002). After discussion of the findings of the reports, the article focuses on the attempts at reform by the IOC, including the institution of the IOC 2000 Commission, the IOC Ethics Commission, and the numerous reforms enacted by the IOC at their 1999 Session held on 11-12 December in Lausanne.

The university's participation in the Olympics dates back to 1904, when Emil Breitkreutz became the first USC student to compete in the Olympic Games and brought home a bronze medal in the 800 meters. Two Olympiads later, in 1912, the same year Los Angeles Times columnist Owen Bird nicknamed USC's athletic teams the Trojans, USC freshman Fred Kelly won the university's first gold medal, for the 110-meter high hurdles, and launched an unprecedented winning streak for USC. At least one USC athlete has come home with a gold medal in virtually every Olympiad since, and USC claims more Olympians than any other university in the country.
