decathlon events are so wildly varied that they cover every type of speed, endurance and coordination. a water decathlon would have to be composed of swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo...hell I can't even think of 10 events in the water period, let alone 10 invididual ones.
If a water decathlon did exist and Phelps won it (in addition to his swimming medals) then I'd call him the greatest Olympian of all time.
