Katherine Curtis, an American woman, was very inspired by the new water sport. So she tried to get synchronized swimming added to the physical education programme for female students. In 1923 she founded a water ballet club at the University of Chicago and sixty swimmers of the club attracted national and international publicity. The sport quickly became popular among young women in Chicago. Curtis developed the competition rules, based essentially on the scoring methods used in gymnastics and diving. The first recorded competition was held on May 27, 1939, between Chicago Teacher's College coached by Curtis and Wright Junior College of Illinois. Shortly afterwards, the Central Association of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) staged the first multi-team competition on March 1, 1940. The following year, the AAU officially accepted synchronized swimming as a competitive sport for team events. In 1946 the first formal national championships were conducted by the AAU. Synchronized swimming became an Olympic event at the Los Angeles Games in 1984.

Để cho dễ nhớ chúng ta thống nhất gọi 2 loại này là tha động từ và tự động từ nhé. + Tha động từ là dộng từ luôn luôn lúc nào cũng phải có một túc từ theo sau Để cho dễ nhớ các em có thể ghi nhớ là tha động từ là động từ mà lúc nào cũng phải "tha " theo nó một túc từ ví dụ : I like it (tôi thích nó ) Ta không thể nói : I like (tôi thích ) rồi ngưng lại Đối với tự động từ thì ngược lại, nó không có túc từ. Tuy nhiên nhiều em vẫn không phân biệt được thế nào là túc từ mà đôi khi lại nhầm lẫn chúng với thời gian, nơi chốn. Cách tốt nhất là các em tự đặt câu hỏi "cái gì"? ai ? nếu chữ đi sau nó trả lời được 1 trong 2 câu hỏi này thì chữ đứng sau động từ đó là túc từ , còn không trả lời được thì không phải là túc từ. Ví dụ: I like dogs (tôi thích chó Ta hỏi : thích gì ? trả lời : thích chó => nghe được => dogs là túc từ. - I sleep on the bed ( tôi ngủ trên giường) Ta hỏi : ngủ cái gì / ngủ ai? trả lời : ngủ cái giường => nghe không được => the bed không phải túc từ Một số động từ luôn là tha động từ là: Allow (cho phép ) Blame (trách cứ ,đổ lổi ) Enjoy (thích thú ) Have (có ) Like (thích) Need (cần ) Name (đặt tên ) Prove (chứng tỏ ) Remind (nhắc nhỡ ) Rent (cho thuê ) Select (lựa chọn ) Wrap (bao bọc ) Rob (cướp ) Own (nợ ) Greet (chào ) Ví dụ: I rent (sai) I rent a car (đúng ) + Các động từ luôn là tự động từ : Faint (ngất ) Hesitate (do dự) Lie (nối dối ) Occur (xảy ra ) Pause (dừng lại ) Rain (mưa ) Remain (còn lại ) Sleep (ngủ ) I remain a book (sai) I lie him (sai) I lie (đúng ) + các động từ vừa là tha động từ vừa là tự động từ Answer (trả lời ) Ask (hỏi ) Help (giúp đỡ ) Read (đọc ) Touch (sờ ) Wash (rửa ) Write (viết ) ví dụ : I read a book. (đúng ) I read . ( cũng đúng luôn ) Để chắc chắn về cách sử dụng chúng bạn nên tra tự điển ,nếu thấy ghi là : v.t (chữ v là viết tắt của chữtransitive ) là là tha động từ còn ghi là v.i (chữ i là viết tắt chữ intransitive ) : tự động từ UNIT 12: WATER SPORTS Section 5 : Language Focus  I/.
