Please find attached here with this newsletter the latest update to the Hybrid Difficulty Table v4.0 released by AQUA 14th June 2023. This change takes effect beginning 14th June 2023.  

Following our correspondence regarding the review of the Artistic Swimming scoring system, please see hereunder the further changes that are applicable immediately: 

• Pattern Change bonus: one type for each change completed (value 0.3) 

• Hybrid Base Mark fixed like the Acrobatics Base Mark to 0.5. This will mean that time underwater, and number of movements are no longer counted. This will be removed from the coach card builder. 

• Simple and complex angles are no longer a bonus, this will be considered as part of the Artistic Impression Score.
