History of Swimming in the World
Swimming has been known since prehistoric times. From pictures dating from the stone age, it is known that there were caves for swimmers near Wadi Sora in southwestern Egypt. In Japan, swimming is an ability that must be possessed by samurai. History records, the first swimming match was held by Emperor Suigui in 36 BC.
The swimming competition which won the title had begun in Europe around 1800 and mostly used breaststroke. Freestyle swimming was first introduced by Arthur Trudgen. This style then began to be combined with the kicking leg style by Richard Cavill in 1902. In the Middle Ages, swimming was included in the seven skills that must be possessed by knights, including swimming with weapons.
Swimming was first competed in the 1896 modern Olympics in Athens, Greece. In this Olympics, only four numbers were contested from the original plan of six numbers. Each number is 100 meters, 500 meters, 1,200 meters, free numbers, and 100 meters for the sailors. The second Olympics was held in Paris, France in 1900 and competed 200m, 1,000m, 4,000m, free numbers, 200m breaststroke, and 200m team numbers.
The International Swimming Union (Federation Internationale De Natation De Amateur / FINA) formed in 1908 originally set, the butterfly style is a variation of breaststroke. This style only became a separate style in 1952. New women were allowed to take part in swimming competitions at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, the Netherlands.
The freestyle, which came to be called the trudgen, was introduced in 1973 by John Arthur Trudgen, emulating it from Native Americans. Swimming became part of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens. In 1902 the trudgen was renewed by Richard Cavill, using a wagging jerk. In 1908, the worldwide swimming association, the International Amateur Swimming Federation (FINA / Federation Internationale de Natation de Amateur) was formed. The butterfly style was first a variation of breaststroke until it was finally accepted as a separate style in 1952.
The era of the modern Olympics after 1896
The Olympic Games were held in 1896 in Athens. A special competition for men (see also swimming at the 1896 Summer Olympics). Six matches have been planned, but only four were actually held: 100 m, 500 m, and 1200 m freestyle and 100 m for sailors. The first gold medal was won by Alfred Hajos from Hungary with a record time of 1: 22.20 for the 100 m freestyle.
Hajos also won the 1200 m match and was unable to win it in 500 m, which was won by Paul Neumann from Australia. Other swimming competitions of 100 m for seamen include three Greek sailors in the Gulf of Zea near Piraeus, starting with rowing boats. The winner is Ioannis Malokinis with a record time of two minutes and 20 seconds. A 1500 m race is also held.
In 1897 Captain Henry Sheffield made a rescue can or rescue cylinder, now known as a rescue aid on Baywatch. The edges make it slide faster on the surface of the water, even though it can cause injury. The second Olympic match held in Paris in 1900 featured 200 m, 1000 m and 4000 m freestyle, 200 m backstrokes, and 200 m team race (see also Swimming at the 1900 Summer Olympics).
There were two additional unusual swimming matches (though quite common at the time), obstacles to swimming on the river Seine (swimming with the currents), and a swimming race in water. Any style of 4000 m is won by John Arthur Jarvis with a time record of under an hour, the longest Olympic swimming race ever held. Backstroke was also introduced at the Olympic Games in Paris, as was the case with water polo. Osborne Swimming Club from Manchester defeated club teams from Belgium, France, and Germany very easily.
The Trudgen style was developed by an Australian swimming teacher and swimmer of British descent named Richard (Fred, Frederick) Cabill. Like Trudgen, he paid attention to the natives of the Solomon Islands, using freestyle. But unlike Trudgen, he saw the wagging kick and studied it carefully. He used this new shaking jerk instead of the breaststroke or the cutting kick from Trudgen.
He used this movement in 1902 at the International Championships in England to set a new world record by swimming out of style that was done by all Trudgen swimmers at 100 yards with a time of 0: 58.4 (some sources say that it was his son in record time 0: 58.8). he taught this style to his six children, each of whom later became a championship swimmer.
The technique became known as the Australian freestyle until 1950 when it was shortened to freestyle, technically it was known as front crawl. 1904 Olympics in St. Louis includes 50 yards, 100 yards, 220 yards, 440 yards, 880 yard, and one freestyle miles, 100-yard backstroke, and 440-yard breaststroke, and 4 * 50-yard swiveling freestyle (see also 1904 Summer Olympics Swimming ).
This race distinguishes between breaststroke and freestyle so that now there are two styles that are set (breaststroke and backstroke) and freestyle, where most people swim in the Trudgen style. This race also illustrates the competition for the long jump, where the distance without swimming, after jumping into a swimming pool is measured.
In 1907 swimmer Annette Kellerman from Australia visited the United States as a "ballet dancer in the water", another version of swimming alignment, diving into a glass tank. He was arrested for displaying an impolite thing, where his swimsuit revealed his arms, legs, and neck.
Kellerman changed his swimsuit into long-sleeved, long pants, and collar, while still maintaining his tight clothes that revealed the shape of the body underneath. He then starred in several films, one of which is about his personal life. In 1908, the world swimming association of the International Amateur Swimming Federation (FINA / Federation Internationale de Natation de Amateur) was formed.
Along with the development of swimming, swimming is increasingly popular. Swimming fans are increasing. In fact, children are often taught swimming at a very early age.
