You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • Swimming United in Four-Year Plan for Tokyo 2020
    Swimming united in four-year plan for Tokyo 2020 Swimming in Australia has a proud and rich record in the archives of Australia’s Olympic history. The Australian Dolphins Swim team have worked hard to be a team the nation is proud of and in victory and defeat they have supported each other. Swimming Australia President John Bertrand AO said the Dolphins had contributed greatly to Australian Sport. “The Australian Swim Team has always been so consistent as a high performing sport on the international stage. The Dolphins have a proud history and a strong reputation and I believe we can be even stronger,” Bertrand said. “What we know is the level of competition at the Rio Olympics will be surpassed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. History tells us that. “So we are in the business of getting there faster than any other nation in the world. That was the focus of this review. What are the key lessons learned from Rio and how we apply them going forward.” The last four years has seen significant change as the sport re-built its culture and made significant progress, moving up the international ranks, ensuring the Dolphins are a team Australia can be proud of both in and out of the water. Swimming Australia CEO Mark Anderson said this post-Rio review process was about building on the progress that we had already made. “We can and will learn from our Rio experiences,” Anderson said. “We will build on the progress we have made and what was evident in Rio, both successes missed opportunities.
