Swimming is also one of the best ways to relax after a long week at work and even seen as a wonderful way to exercise. Swimming can help us lose weight. It is also believed to make the body strong. However, do you know anything about the history of swimming?

The earlier recording of swimming dates back to 7,000 years ago. The Stone Age painting clearly showed that swimming was practised at that time. What’s more, many historic books gave written records of swimming. Swimming became popular in the Middle Ages.

In the 1800s, many swimming associations (协会) were set up. These associations organised swimming competitions. In fact, there have been records of swimming clubs which were set up in countries like the US, England, France and Germany during that time. England is believed to be the first modern society to consider swimming as a sport. The National Swimming Society in England organised swimming competitions that were held in London’s six pools. Mathew Webb’s swim across the English Channel further increased the sport’s popularity. Later in 1886, a new association, the Amateur Swimming Association of Great Britain, was set up, which made swimming even more popular.

As swimming became popular during the 1800s, swimming appeared in the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. During this time, the Olympic Games were a sports festival for men with the 100 m and 1,500 m freestyle swimming held in open water. There were only four swimming events. Three of them were freestyle.

The developer of the modern Olympic Games, Baron Pierre De Coubertin believed that women were not brawny enough to take part in such a competitive sport, which requires a lot of physical power. It was only in the 1912 Olympic Games that women swimmers appeared.
