Australia's artistic swimming team is chasing perfection as it holds a training camp in Brisbane ahead of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Gold Coast-based athlete Kirsten Kinash said she was prepared for every eventuality after the 2020 games were postponed due to COVID-19 last year.
"I have been preparing for a lot of different situations. The team likes to prepare for what we call 'What if situations'," she said.
"For example, we're prepared for wearing a mask for the whole games.
Unless you're an avid fan, you may have missed FINA's rebranding of the sport from synchronised swimming to artistic swimming in July 2017.
"It actually changed to better represent our sport because it's about more than syncing with your teammates," Ms Kinash said.
"It's about representing artistry and portraying the music.
"We always got the question as synchronised swimmers, 'When you're swimming solo is it still considered synchronised swimming?' so the name change just cut down on those questions."
The name may have changed but there is no difference between synchronised swimming and artistic swimming.
Australian head coach, Lolli Montico, said the name change was becoming more accepted.
"We were famous because people see this sport like fun or a show, we work hard and spend hours in the pool because there are so many components.
The sport's international governing body FINA said the rebrand aimed to boost popularity and align it with similar disciplines like gymnastics.
Ms Kinash said most athletes supported the change.
"It was hard at first because synchronised swimming had built up such an impression," she said.
"Our sport wasn't well known so it was hard when it first changed.
"I think we are slowly getting that name back out there again."
Artistic swimming incorporates dance, acrobatics and swimming in a routine format that is accompanied by music.
Australia qualified for the Olympic Games by beating their competitors from the Oceania region, but Russia and China are considered the sport's powerhouse nations.
"For these games, we are not quite medal contenders," Ms Kinash said.
"For Australian artistic swimming we are focused on proud swims, strong swims, and climbing the ranks.
"Australia's main competitor is Egypt and we are focused on trying to beat their score at the games."
Australia will compete in all four artistic swimming events, including the eight-person teams and duet events.
Coach Lolli Montico, who took on the role in December 2020 had previously been an Olympic coach for the 2004 Italian, 2012 United Kingdom and 2016 United States teams.
The Italian national said she wanted to lower Australia's current ranking of 10th by increasing the team's performance speed.
"We've made changes by making it sharper and faster to make it more of an international level," she said.
"Obviously Russia, China and Japan are way ahead of us, but we still use them as a role model.
Each event involves a technical routine that lasts a maximum of 2 minutes 50 seconds, and a free routine that lasts 3 to 4 minutes.
Rhythmic gymnastics and artistic swimming are the only exclusively female Olympic sports, but Ms Kinash said she hoped that would change.
"Now we are starting to see more and more men competing at the World Championships, but it's still growing," she said.
"The more young men we see getting involved and the more we can get a generation starting from childhood training into adulthood is when we'll start to see more men involved in the actual Olympic Games."
The Tokyo Olympic Games will be held from July 28 to August 8.
