How it's used
Formerly known as synchronized swimming, the term has been updated in both English and Chinese to reflect the artistic nature of the sport. It is a highly specialized term that is rarely used outside of sports commentary or casual conversation about the Olympic Games. When discussing the sport, locals often focus on the difficulty of the movements and the synchronization with the music.
