Swimming was introduced to the Olympics in 1896, but it was only open for men until 1912. Swimming has become one of the most popular Summer Olympic sports. But, there have been many changes to the Olympic Swimming since it first began. The first races of the Swimming were held in open water, but now they are held in lap pools. The beginning of electrical timing was at the 1912 Olympics. The 1924 Olympics were the first to use the 50 meter lap pool. Over time little thing have changed, now leaving us with the swimming at our Summer Olympics.
