The Technical Required Elements (TRE) for the 2022-2025 cycle are the same for the senior and junior age groups.

Technical team routines last 2:50 mins (± 5s). They must contain 9 Elements: 5 TREs, 3 Free Hybrids and 1 Team Acrobatic.

The three additional free hybrids and the acrobatic may be placed anywhere in the routine. One of the free hybrids must include a cadence action. The DD for the acrobatic movement must not be less than 2.0 nor exceed 2.65. A routine may contain a maximum of one circle pattern.

Each TRE except the fourth one has two versions, A or B, and thus two different Degrees of Difficulties (DD) that athletes and coaches can choose from.

The five TREs can be done in any order.

 

Element 1

1A – Flying Fish Hybrid Spinning 180° (DD: 2.5)

From a Submerged Back Pike Position with the legs perpendicular to the surface, a Thrust is executed to a Vertical Position and with no loss of height one leg is rapidly lowered to an airborne Fishtail Position. Without a pause the horizontal leg is rapidly lifted to a Vertical Position, followed by a rapid 180° Spin.

1B – Flying Fish Hybrid (DD: 2.3)

From a Submerged Back Pike Position with the legs perpendicular to the surface, a Thrust is executed to a Vertical Position and with no loss of height one leg is rapidly lowered to an airborne Fishtail Position. Without a pause the horizontal leg is rapidly lifted to a Vertical Position, followed by a Vertical Descent.

Element 2

2A – Vertical – Full Twist to Bent Knee – Full Twist to Vertical – Open 180° – Walkout (DD: 2.6)

Starting in a Vertical Position, a Full Twist is executed as one leg is lowered to a Bent Knee Vertical Position. Continuing in the same direction another Full Twist is executed, as the bent knee is extended to a Vertical Position. Continuing in the same direction a Half Twist is executed as the legs are symmetrically lowered to a Split Position. A Walkout Front is executed.

2B – Vertical – Half Twist to Bent Knee – Half Twist to Vertical – Split – Walkout (DD: 2.3)

Starting in a Vertical Position, a Half Twist is executed as one leg is lowered to a Bent Knee Vertical Position. Continuing in the same direction another Half Twist is executed, as the bent knee is extended to a Vertical Position. The legs are symmetrically lowered to a Split Position. A Walkout Front is executed.

Element 3

3A – Two Fouetté Rotations – Vertical – Continuous Spin 720° (DD: 2.6)

From a Fishtail Position, 2 Fouetté rotations (180°+180°) are executed. The horizontal leg is rapidly lifted to a Vertical Position. Continuing in the same direction a Continuous Spin of 720° (2 rotations) is executed.

3B – Two Fouetté Rotations – Vertical – Spinning 360° (DD: 2.3)

From a Fishtail Position, 2 Fouetté rotations (180°+180°) are executed. The horizontal leg is rapidly lifted to a Vertical Position. Continuing in the same direction a rapid Spinning 360° (1 rotation) is executed.

Element 4

4 – Butterfly Hybrid (DD: 2.9)

The Butterfly Hybrid is to be performed rapidly. From a Front Pike Position, one leg is lifted to a Fishtail Position. The horizontal leg is lifted through an arc of 180° as the vertical leg is lowered to assume a Split Position. Without a pause a hip rotation of 180° is executed as the front leg is raised to assume a Fishtail Position. Continuing in the same direction a 180° rotation is executed as the horizontal leg is lifted to a Vertical Position. The legs are lowered simultaneously to a Bent Knee Surface Arch Position. (Note: The Bent Knee Surface Arch Position can be assumed by using either leg). The bent knee is straightened to a Surface Arch Position and with continuous motion an Arch to Back Layout Finish Action is executed.

Element 5

5A – Rocket Split Bent Knee Twirl Hybrid (DD: 2.4)

From a Submerged Back Pike Position with the legs perpendicular to the surface, a Thrust is executed to a Vertical Position. Maintaining maximum height, the legs are split rapidly to assume an Airborne Split Position, followed by a rapid rotation of 180º to assume an airborne Bent Knee Vertical Position with the front leg bent. A rapid Vertical Descent is executed as the bent knee is extended to join the vertical leg completed as the ankles reach the surface of the water followed by a Vertical Descent.

5B – Rocket Split Bent Knee Hybrid (DD: 2.1)

From a Submerged Back Pike Position with the legs perpendicular to the surface, a Thrust is executed to a Vertical Position. Maintaining maximum height, the legs are split rapidly to assume an Airborne Split Position followed by the front leg rapidly bending and the back leg rapidly lifting to a vertical to assume an airborne Bent Knee Vertical Position. A Vertical Descent is executed as the bent knee is extended to join the vertical leg completed as the ankles reach the surface of the water followed by a Vertical Descent.

 

For the TRE 3, here are more specifications about the Fouetté Rotation:

From a Fishtail Position, with the horizontal leg leading toward the vertical leg, a rapid 180° rotation is executed as the front leg bends to assume a Bent Knee Vertical Position. The bent leg rapidly extends to a Fishtail Position.
