Many swimmers have graced the swimming pool while performing well to their abilities. Along with the Olympics, the FINA World Championships, the Pan Pacific Championships, and the World Short Course Championships. The length of the swimming pool is 50 meters long and 25 meters wide. Likewise, the short course pool is 25 meters long and the world records between the short course and long course pools are kept separately.</p><figure class="dom-traversal_domFigure__bvvvj"><div class="image-loader_es-image-loader-aspect-ratio__X6IHP " style="min-width:100%;--borderRadius:5px;padding-bottom:64.32291666666666%;position:relative;height:0"><img id="img-tag-node-img-loader-0" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1048420.jpg?width=150&blur=15" fetchpriority="high" style="position:absolute;z-index:0;width:100%;height:100%" loading="eager" decoding="async"/></div><figcaption class="dom-traversal_domFigCaption__Hv1Pg"><p class="dom-traversal_domFigCaptionText__kuHmn">via Getty</p><p class="dom-traversal_domFigCaptionText__kuHmn" hidden="">18 Sep 2000: Michael Phelps of the USA in action during the Mens 200m Butterfly Heats at the Sydney International Aquatic Centre on Day Three of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.

Until the 1800s, they did not consider swimming to be a sport. Athletic swimming is believed to have started in Britain. Likewise, the swimming championships in the 1840s were put to the forefront by Australia. As they held the 1896 Olympics in Athens, Greece, swimming became a staple part of the competitions, henceforth. With just four swimming events at first, a Greek sailor named Ioannis Malokinis won the first competition.</p><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Britain established swimming pools <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.rookieroad.com/swimming/history/" target="_blank">in</a> 1837. Likewise, swimming originated in Australia in 1846. The USA established swimming in 1888. With most countries taking up the sport, FINA, or the Federation Internationale de Natation Amateur was founded in 1909.</p><h3 class="dom-traversal_domH3__5Qe79">The four swimming strokes</h3><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">There are four different strokes of swimming. The four disciplines have different events amongst them. The four strokes are freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Hence, these strokes are used in major swimming competitions. The first stroke is freestyle. It is the most commonly used swimming stoke as it has the most events at the Olympic Games. It is usually known as the front crawl and is one of the fastest swimming stokes in the world.</p><figure class="dom-traversal_domFigure__bvvvj"><div class="image-loader_es-image-loader-aspect-ratio__X6IHP " style="min-width:100%;--borderRadius:5px;padding-bottom:73.91304347826086%;position:relative;height:0"><img id="img-tag-node-img-loader-0" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-72376333.jpg?width=150&blur=15" fetchpriority="high" style="position:absolute;z-index:0;width:100%;height:100%" loading="eager" decoding="async"/></div><figcaption class="dom-traversal_domFigCaption__Hv1Pg"><p class="dom-traversal_domFigCaptionText__kuHmn">via Getty</p><p class="dom-traversal_domFigCaptionText__kuHmn" hidden="">ATHENS - AUGUST 19: Michael Phelps of USA competes in the men's swimming 200 metre individual medley final on August 19, 2004 during the Athens 2004 Summer Olympic Games at the Main Pool of the Olympic Sports Complex Aquatic Centre in Athens, Greece.

This is a stroke that enables a swimmer to breathe from above but swimmers cannot see the endpoint. The start of this stroke is inside the water and swimmers swim their way to the finishing point. After that comes the breaststroke. The breaststroke is a comfortable swimming stroke and the swimmer's head comes out of the water. It is a style in which the swimmer is on their chest and is one of the slowest strokes in the competition. The leg kicks are similar to a frog and it is a comfortable stroke.</p><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">The final stroke is the butterfly which is one of the hardest strokes in swimming. A person swims on the chest with both hands going symmetrically. The swimmer uses a dolphin kick to do this stroke. Technically, it is a hard stroke and swimmers require great physical conditioning to pull this off.</p><h3 class="dom-traversal_domH3__5Qe79">Greatest swimmers in the world</h3><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">The sport has produced some of the best talents the Olympics has seen.
