There was, but not anymore. https://olympics.time.com/2012/07/16/really-strange-sports-that-are-longer-in-the-olympics/slide/solo-synchronized-swimming/
There actually was a solo event in what is now called artistic swimming at the 1984, ā88, and ā92 Olympics. FINA still has solo artistic swimming at the World Aquatics Championships, too.
SNLās āMenās Synchronized Swimmingā (1984), Harry Shearer and Martin Short:
Gerald: Oh, itās not going to be easy. My brother and I know. Men have never done synchronized swimming in a sanctioned competition in this country. Officially, itās got like a zero acceptance rate.
Lawrence: I donāt swim.
Gerald: Lawrence doesnāt swim. So.. I mean, no, of course not.. no oneās going to just walk up and hand us a gold medal. Menās syncro isnāt even in the ā88 Olympics yet.
Lawrence: Thatās okay, because we could use the time. āCause Iām not.. Iām not that strong a swimmer.
Gerald: But I mean, that just means, you know, for ā92, weāre a lock for the gold.

Water needs to be deeper in order to call it swimming of any sort.

Margaretās routine didnāt include any ducking down under the water because she couldnāt find a nose plug big enough for her nose.
