Study Notes
Introduction
- Guide defines declared difficulty (DD) for synchronized swimming routines.
- This guide is effective from September 1, 2024.
Hybrids
- Hybrid routines have five or more movements.
- Hybrid routines can include thrusts (T), spins (S), twists (R), flexibility (F), airborne weight (A), and connections (C).
- Hybrid routines have a base mark of 0.5 added to their DD value.
- Hybrid routines have bonuses only for pattern changes.
- The DD score for a hybrid routine is calculated as: Base Mark (0.5) + Movements (Families) + Bonus (Pattern Change).
Thrusts (T)
- Thrusts are variations of the movements defined in the AS Rulebook.
- DD values include thrusts at specific levels.
Spins (S)
- Spins are rotations in a vertical position.
- Spins include ascending/descending spins and combined/reversed combined spins.
- Spins with 50% or more at the same level are subject to a base mark in addition to the DD value assigned based on body orientation (wall-to-wall, etc).
- DD values for spins depend on factors like body orientation and level.
Twists (R)
- Twists include twirls, swirls, and twisting movements with a drop in two height levels.
- Swirls require an obvious drop in two height levels.
- Twists include a "wall-to-wall" body orientation.
- DD values for twists are assigned based on body orientation, height, and whether it is a twirl/swirl.
Airborne Weight (A)

Flexibility (F)

- Coaches use a card to track movements in a routine.
- The coach card includes information about the type and level of each movement.
Difficulty Calculator
- An Excel Difficulty Calculator is available to assist in calculating DD scores.
