Artistic swimming (formerly called synchronized swimming) competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France ran between 5 and 10 August at the Paris Aquatic Centre.[1][2] For the first time since the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, the competition featured fewer than 100 athletes, with a total of 96 athletes competing in two medal events, namely the women's duet and the mixed team.
Several significant changes were instituted in the artistic swimming program for Paris 2024 to reinforce the Games-wide effort to achieve gender equality and vast diversity among the nations in the qualifying process. On 7 October 2022, World Aquatics (then FINA) favored nearly 99 percent of the votes to amend the artistic swimming rules between 2022 and 2025, such as the composition of an eight-member mixed team (previously a women's team event) with a maximum number of two males in the team.[3][4] However, no men were selected to compete.
This was also the first time since 2000 that a team other than Russia won the gold in either discipline, as Russia was banned from the 2024 Olympics due to Russia's and Belarus's invasion of Ukraine.[5]
For the team event, the highest-ranked NOC in each of the five continental meets, except for the host nation France (representing Europe), obtained a quota place, while the remaining NOCs competed for the five available spots at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships. For the duet, the highest-ranked NOC from each of the five continental meets that did not have a qualified team received a spot, with the remaining NOCs competing for the three remaining spots through the 2024 Worlds. All ten NOCs eligible to compete in the team event were required to select two members to form a duet.[6]
Competition on August 6th was opened by Bill May.
