Although the origin of swimming is unknown,
people probably learnt how to swim through
watching animals. Pompeii depicts a bas-relief in a
tomb with men swimming over the sea in the year 2. Trace the history of swimming by

the breaststroke and sidestroke. North American
Indians competed in a swimming competition in
London in 1844.

Competitions were staged in artificial pools in London in 1837. The contests, which
quickly gained prominence, were organized by the National Swimming Society of
England. In 1862, England built the first indoor swimming pool in recorded history.
Soon after, additional pools were constructed, and in 1880, a new swimming
association was founded. Arthur Trudgen invented the "Trudgen crawl" in 1873, an
overhand movement utilizing the scissors kick. J. For the world record, H Derbyshire
swam 100 yards in 60 seconds while utilizing the "Trudgen crawl." An Englishman
named Frederick Cavill visited Australia in 1878. He combined the double overhand
stroke with the natives' flutter kick leg movement, which he had noticed produced
amazing speed, to create what is now known as the "Australian Crawl." At the 1902
World Championships, he used this stroke to achieve a new world mark for the 100-
yard dash of 58.4 seconds. Charles M. Daniels, a swimmer for the New York Athletic
Club, introduced the "American Crawl" in 1905. In 1910, he used it to break the world
mark for the 100-yard swim with a time of 54.8 seconds.

In the years 1900 and 1912, the Americans brought swimming

as a sport to the Philippines. The highest accomplishment of a
Filipino in the sport occurred in 1928. Teofilo E. Yldefonso,
widely known as the "Ilocano Shark," won the bronze medal in
the 200-meter breaststroke event at the 1928 Olympics in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, giving the Philippines its first
Olympic medal. Swimming contests were put on hold during
the war, but resumed after it was over. Another wave in its
display of superior swimming ability was initiated by the
Filipinos. At the inaugural Asian Games, which were held in
New Delhi, India in 1951, Artemio Salamat and Jacinto Cayco
won gold medals in the 200- and 100-meter breaststroke
events, respectively. The rise of exceptional Filipina swimmers
in 1954 was notable, with gold medals for Haydee Coloso and
Jocelyn Von Giese. Programs that offered Filipino swimmers’
chances to grow and improve their abilities were established
and promoted.
