Olympic swimmers are athletes who compete in swimming events at the Olympic Games, which occur every four years. They participate in various styles, including freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke, and backstroke, across different distances. Swimmers train rigorously to improve their speed, technique, and endurance, often practicing for several hours each day. To qualify for the Olympics, swimmers must meet specific time standards in national or international competitions. The International Swimming Federation (FINA) oversees the rules and regulations for these events. Olympic swimmers often represent their countries and aim for medals, showcasing their skills on a global stage.
