Swimming At The 1904 Summer Olympics




The short sprint, at 50 yards, made its first appearance. The 100 returned after not being contested in 1900. The 1000 metres and 4000 metres were replaced with the much shorter 440 yards and 1 mile events, making the 200 the only freestyle event to be held for the second time in a row.

The 200 metre backstroke was shortened to 100 yards and the team swimming was replaced with a 4x50 freestyle relay. The obstacle course and underwater swimming events were eliminated, while breaststroke made its Olympic debut.
