water ballet
Pool performance art
Water ballet is synchronized swimming—a performance art combining swimming, dance, and gymnastic movements in water, typically set to music.
The term emphasizes the choreographed, artistic nature of the activity: The summer camp put on a water ballet for parents.
It sounds somewhat dated compared to "synchronized swimming," the term used in competitive contexts.
