Swimming Swimming Swimming events comprise swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo. Swimming Swimming is a contest for speed in a 50m pool.
Swimming is an event in which competitors swim in lanes over a specified distance.
Races over different distances have been established for each style. Medley races, races involving all different styles of swimming, are devided into individual and relay categories. An individual medley starts with the butterfly, followed by backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. Diving Divers' performances last just a few seconds, from take-off to until hitting the water's surface, during which time they must compete for style and dynamism. With the spring of the take-off board, springboard diving is suited to a graceful and supple style of diving.
