Page "Synchronized swimming" Paragraph 9

In 1933 – 1934 Kathryn Curtis organized a show, " The Modern Mermaids ," for the World Exhibition in Chicago, which the announcer introduced as " Synchronized Swimming.

" This was the first mentioning of the term synchronized swimming, although Curtis still used the term rhythmic swimming in her book, Rhythmic Swimming: A Source Book of Synchronized Swimming and Water Pageantry ( Minneapolis: Burgess Publishing Co., 1936 ).
