Objective of the study was to improve the technical skills in female athletes engaged in synchronized swimming based on the creation of an objective system for evaluating the technical complexity of voluntary programs.
Methods and structure of the study. The methodology for determining the technical complexity of voluntary programs was based on the conventional classification of technical complexity of the main movements in synchronized swimming, where higher values of the complexity coefficients indicate a higher level of technical complexity of movements.
During the study, we analyzed 131 video recordings of performances of the strongest world-class female synchronized swimmers at the Olympic Games, world championships, European and Russian championships.
Results of the study and conclusions. The authors propose to evaluate the level of development of technical skills of the female swimmers based on such parameters of voluntary programs as: the number of elements, series, rotational movements; the degree of complexity of rotational movements; swim path length; accuracy of the voluntary program execution; technical complexity, compositional distribution of the voluntary program complexity. To determine the dynamics of further increase in complexity, we used an algorithm based on the method of analytical calculation of the ultimate increment of an asymptomatic function. We made an attempt to model the parameters of the voluntary program complexity used to qualify female athletes of various skill levels.
The conventional classification of the degrees of complexity of movements in synchronized swimming enabled to develop the criteria and methodology for quantitative assessment of technical complexity of voluntary programs. In view of the identified relationship between the levels of physical and technical fitness of the female athletes, the system and means for correcting voluntary programs were proposed.

Keywords: synchronized swimming, technical fitness, technical complexity, voluntary programs.
