Swimming has been an Olympic sport since the inception of the
Games, with the 100, 400, and 1500 freestyles being the original
events along with the 100 freestyle for sailors. While the spirit
of the sport remains the same, the technology and the competitive
formats have advanced tremendously through the years. The number of
events contested in competition has increased to the point where
the program for a typical international meet, such as the World
Championships or Olympics, produces a true reflection of the best
swimmers over various distances and in different strokes. The
Historical Dictionary of Competitive Swimming examines the sport of
swimming since its inception as a competitive athletic event. This
is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a
bibliography, and appendixes that detail Olympic and World
Championships medal winners. The dictionary section has over 500
cross-referenced dictionary entries on individuals, major
competitions, and there are also entries for each of the
competitive strokes and countries that have enjoyed significant
success in the sport.
