The purpose of the study is to identify the structural features of the compilation of arbitrary programs in synchronized swimming. Research methods and organization. Methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature were employed, a comparative analysis of video materials of performances at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games was conducted, and the structural features of the composition of free programs were established. Research results and conclusions. The identified implementation of structural identity in the routines of athletes from different teams indicates a predominant use of three technically expensive elements, leading to a loss of uniqueness and creative components in synchronized swimming. The obtained data allow for the conclusion regarding the feasibility of regulating the artistic evaluation of free routines in synchronized swimming.
