Swimming is known since ancient times, but it was not commonly competitively played as a sport until the nineteenth century. First swimming competition was held in 1837 by the newly established National Swimming Society of Great Britain.
The majority of swimmers at the time used breaststroke to swim. With the passage of time a lot of strokes were introduced to swimming competitions, and they are currently used at the Olympics.
Olympic Swimming Basic Rules:
At the Olympics swimming a 50-meter pool is used for swimming competitions. This pool has eight lanes. The total distance of the swimming competition ranges between 50 meters to 1500 meters. In 50 meters, athletes swim 1 lap, while in 1500 meters they swim 30 laps.
Swimmers race with each other by using one of the four strokes backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle and butterfly. When a tone sounds, every swimmer taking part in a specific race begins swimming at the same time. The swimmer who covers the required distance first and touches the pool wall wins.
