Abstract
In synchronized swimming, highly competitive trainings arts and sports elements converge. We wonder how scaffoldings and affordances contribute to the stabilization of cognitive resources among the trainer and swimmers of the Spanish Olympic synchronized swimming team. We dwell on what is taken as cognitive resources and the role of scaffolding and affordances. We analyze communication patterns and examine the work process leading to synchronized swimming. We propose a cognitive ethnography on training, an innovative method that explains the patterns of activity of local interactions among participants in sports. We applied ELAN program and incorporated Jeffersonian transcriptions that come from conversational analysis method. Results show how the training process involves interaction in an environment that includes social agents, material resources and conceptual models that feed each other.
