The competition was split into two events a duet event and team competition (open only to women).[2] Due to Pan American Games being scheduled to be held roughly around the same time as the 2015 World Aquatics Championships scheduled for Kazan, Russia, the synchronized swimming events began the day before the opening ceremony (when events are traditionally not held until after the ceremony).[3]
The highest placing duet (not already qualified) qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[4]
