Rules of the game.
The rules of (Olympic) swimming are governed by FINA (federation international de Natation).
The swimming rules use four basic swimming styles or strokes, freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly, or you could use all four in one race this is called the IM or individual madley.
When swimming Breastroke or butterfly it is important that you always touch the end walls with both hands together.
When you touch the wall at each turn or at the end of the race, you must do it two handed and this can be, above or below the water level.
You have to start with a dive.
The start of a Backstroke and Medley Relay races have to start from the water.
Any swimmer, who started before the starting signal, is disqualified. If the starting signal sounds before the disqualification, the race will continue and the swimmer or swimmers will be disqualified after finishing the race, if the disqualification is declared before the starting signal, the signal shall not be given, but the remaining swimmers have to be called back and start again.

Freestyle is:
Freestyle:
Freestyle means that the swimmers may swim and stroke, except in medley or medley relay, freestyle means any style other than backstroke, breast stroke or butterfly.
Freestyle also means the swimmer must touch the wall, when completing each length.
Some part of the swimmer must be on the surface of the water throughout the race, except if he is turning, and he cannot be under for more than 15 meters.
People in freestyle swimming can use any of the strokes such as front crawl, dog paddle, or sidestroke, etc. Stand-alone freestyle events can also be swum using one of the officially regulated strokes (breaststroke, butterfly, and backstroke). For the freestyle part of medley competitions, however, you cannot use breaststroke, butterfly, or backstroke. Most competitive swimmers choose the front crawl during freestyle competitions, as this style provides the greatest speed.
Backstrokes:
The swimmers should line up in the water facing the starting end, with both hands holding the starting grips. Standing in or on the gutter or bending the toes over the lip of the gutter is prohibited.
At the signal for starting, the swimmer should push off and swim upon his back throughout the race, except when turning..
Some part of the swimmer has to be on the surface throughout the race.
Breastroke:
From the beginning of the first arm stroke after the start and, the body has to be kept on the breast. It is not allowed to roll onto the back at any time. Throughout the race the stroke must be one arm stroke and one leg stroke in that order.
You have to be on your chest and your torso doesn’t rotate.
The leg action of the breaststroke originated by copying the swimming action of frogs.
Butterfly:
From the begging of the race your body has to be kept on the breast.

You’re not allowed to rule onto your back at all.
You're hands have to be synchronised, so if one arm is over the water the other hand has to be brought over the water.
The leg and feet need to be n the same level.
You have to touch the wall with both hands, and it has to be above water.
Dimension of swimming pool:
The Olympic swimming pool is 50m long and 25m width.
They are 10 lanes and they are 2.5m of width from each other.
The water temperature is 25-28C.
The depth is 2.0m
The minimum volume is 2,500m3 or 2,500,000.
Structure of national organizations/competitions:
In 1538, Nicolas Wynman, German professor of languages, wrote the first swimming book.
Competitive swimming in Europe started around 1800, mostly using breaststroke.
The front crawl, then called the trudgen (now known predominantly as the "front crawl" or "freestyle") was introduced in 1873 by John Arthur Trudgen.
Swimming was part of the first modern 1896 Olympic Games in Athens
In 1900, Backstroke was included as an Olympic Event.
In 1908the world swimming association Federation Internationale de Natation was formed.
Butterfly was first a variant of breaststroke, until it was accepted as a separate style in the 1952 Olympics.
At present, there are the four recognized strokes like butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle; while the IM ("Individual Medley") is a combination of all four of the strokes in a specific order.
Swimming has been around since the caveman days this has been concluded by evidence of pictures drawn on cave walls. Competitive swimming appeared at the first modern Olympics in 1896 in Athens but started in the earlier 1800's.
The organization of swimming is fina also known as Federation Internationale de Natation they govern swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming.
· FINA was founded on July 19, 1908 in the Manchester Hotel in london uk at the end of the .
· They are not any leagues in swimming that I can find except the Olympics and the national arena swimming league. Also the arena swimming league b, but I am not sure if these are the real leagues so I can’t discuss much about the leagues.
Role models/top players:
Michael Phelps, was born on the 30th of June 1985. He is an American swimmer who has won 16 Olympic medals, he has got 6 gold and 2 bronze at Athens in 2004, and 8 gold at Beijing in 2008. One of the things I most admire about him was at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games he gave up his spot in the Men’s 4x100m Medley relay so that Ian Crocker could swim the 100m Fly leg. Ian Crocker had missed out on a Gold Medal through illness, but had recovered during the competition.
