Lindsay recently competed in a synchronized swimming event for individual skills. Several teams from around AZ competed. Lindsay earned a second place finish for her age group. In addition to the competition, she also became a "big sister" to two younger swimmers on the Desert Dolphins team. She is shown above with one of the "little sisters."
In the picture to the left, Lindsay is in front of the judges and ready to execute one of her individual maneuvers or figures. At this event there are a total of three judges per station. The high and low score are dropped. The total score after 4 stations is computed and awards are based on overall highest scores by age group.
A panel of judges awards points from 0 to 10 based on the accuracy of the performance and the timing, height, stability, and control of the figures. In the technical routine, the swimmers must perform a set list of elements, or combinations of figures and swimming strokes. Technical merit encompasses the execution, synchronization, and difficulty of the elements.
Lindsay's is beginning a walkover, above.
To the right, Lindsay is at the mid-point of the walkover.
This is the full split element of the walk over. The figure is competed by bringing both legs together vertically and out of the water then sinking below the water.
