The first Olympic demonstration of synchronized swimming was at the 1952 Olympic Games, where the Helsinki officials welcomed [[Katherine Whitney Curtis|Katherine Curtis]] and lit a torch in her honour. Curtis died in 1980, but synchronised swimming did not become an official Olympic sport until the 1984 [[Summer Olympic Games]].<ref name="MaltbyHawaii">{{cite web |url=http://www.hanahou.com/pages/Magazine.asp?Action=DrawArticle&ArticleID=622&MagazineID=39 |title=Into the Blue |author=Becky Maltby |work=[[Hana Hou!]] Vol. 10 No. 5 |date=October–November 2007 }}</ref> It was also not until 1968 that synchronised swimming became officially recognized by FINA as the fourth water sport next to [[Swimming (sport)|swimming]], [[platform diving]] and [[water polo]].

From 1984 through 1992, the Summer Olympic Games featured solo and duet competitions, but they were both dropped in 1996 in favor of team competition. At the 2000 Olympic Games, however, the duet competition was restored and is now featured alongside the team competition. At the 2024 Olympic Games, men were included in competition for the first time. Additionally, these games included a team acrobatic routine round.<ref name="NBC Olympics 2024">{{cite web |title=In with the new: What are the new sports and events at the 2024 Paris Olympics? |url=https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/new-what-are-new-sports-and-events-2024-paris-olympics |website=NBC Olympics}}</ref>
