Synchronized swimming competitions at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto was held from July 9 to 11 at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre (CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House).[1] Due to naming rights the arena will be known as the latter for the duration of the games. The competition was split into two events a duet event and team competition (open only to women).[2] Due to Pan American Games being scheduled to be held roughly around the same time as the 2015 World Aquatics Championships scheduled for Kazan, Russia, the synchronized swimming events began the day before the opening ceremony (when events are traditionally not held until after the ceremony).[3]
