Among the topics covered are competition development, development around the United States, rules and technical changes, and leadership (from volunteers to a National Office). Four appendices list major award winners, U.S. National Champions, the results of major international competitions, and U.S. participation in international events. The work boasts photographs from the first trial national competition in 1942 to the World Championships of 2003, as well as a full bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDawn Pawson Bean\u003c\/b\u003e founded \u003ci\u003eSynchro\u003c\/i\u003e--the first magazine devoted entirely to the sport--and was a champion competitor, (National and Pan American gold medal winner), coach, and Olympic judge.
