Highlights from the Men's Swimming 200m Breaststroke Semi-Finals during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Swimming has featured on the programme of all editions of the Games since 1896. The very first Olympic events were freestyle (crawl) or breaststroke. Backstroke was added in 1904.
In the 1940s, breaststrokers discovered that they could go faster by bringing both arms forward over their heads. This practice was immediately forbidden in breaststroke, but gave birth to butterfly, whose first official appearance was at the 1956 Games in Melbourne. This style is now one of the four strokes used in competition.
Women's swimming became Olympic in 1912 at the Stockholm Games. Since then, it has been part of every edition of the Games. The men's and women's programmes are almost identical, as they contain the same number of events, with only one difference: the freestyle distance is 800 metres for women and 1,500 metres for men.

really inspiring

[@andyharpist2938]

The bobbing up and down seems to put the brakes on to my mind. Why is there not more porpoise-like body movement in the stroke, riding the energy wave?

[@BRAWNYBANANA]

[@logiic8835]

What is the use of the head cap?

[@tmrivera7880]

So your hair doesn’t get in the way

[@llama4739]

Having your hair trailing behind you creates drag, so wearing a swim cap reduces that drag.

[@user-gv5hm8po6b]

it makes it easier to see and it protects your hair from the chlorine .

[@logiic8835]

Okay ive been doing swimming for like a week but isnt doing the dolphin kick after the push off illegal

[@kinzie2827]

you can only do 1 dolphin kick into a pull, if you do more than one you get disqualified

[@MrFeatre]

Why does the swimmer in lane 4 always win?

[@joshualiu444]

There are eight lanes, and they are positioned in lanes based on previous times. Lane 4 is the fastest, then 5, 3, 6, 2, 7, 1, 8. That's why it's always surprising when lane 8 wins, because they were seeded last.

[@thefilmrookie3099]

@@joshualiu444 yeah it’s sad I’m always seated in lane 1 or 8. But again I don’t come last at least.
