Eight teams competed, each consisting of eight swimmers (from a total team of nine swimmers). There was a single round of competition. Each team presented two routines: a technical routine and a free routine. The technical routine consisted of twelve required elements, which had to be completed in order between a time of 2 minutes 35 seconds and 3 minutes 5 seconds. The free routine has no restrictions other than time; this routine was required to last between 3 minutes 45 seconds and 4 minutes 15 seconds.
For each routine, teams were judged by two panels of five judges each. One panel was the technical jury, the other was the artistic jury. Each judge gave marks between 0 and 10. The highest and lowest score from each panel were dropped, leaving a total of six scores which were then summed to give the routine's score. The scores of the two routines were then added to give a final score for the team.
The medals for the event were presented by Stefan Holm, Nicole Hoevertsz and Alexander Zhukov, IOC members from Sweden, Aruba and Russia respectively, and by Qiuping Zhang, Margo Mountjoy and Vladimir Salnikov, Bureau Members of FINA.
