Figures

Although figures are not as exciting as routines, they do account for 50% of the overall score, so they are very important.  Swimmers are judged on DESIGN (precision of required positions) and CONTROL (stability, height, extension, effortlessness).  The swimmers' figure scores are averaged, then added to the routine score, to get the total score.  The videos below are courtesy of USAAS or youtube.
