What's in a name? A bit of aquatic confusion at the Olympics

Tokyo: Marathon swimming or open water? Artistic swimming or synchronized?

There’s a bit of aquatic confusion at the Olympics, where two of the disciplines are referred to by conflicting names. Officially, there's marathon swimming (that was a pair of 10-kilometer races at Tokyo Bay for men and women) and artistic swimming (that's the women-only event in which duets and teams perform intricate, synchronized routines accompanied by dramatic music at the Olympic pool).
