The International Olympic Committee recognises the fastest performances in pool-based swimming events at the Olympic Games. Men's swimming has been part of the official program of the Summer Olympics since the Games' modern inception in 1896; it was not until 1912 that women's events were held.
This discrepancy was evened out in 2020: that year, the 1,500 metres was included in the women's programme for the first time and the 800 metres freestyle was added to the men's programme. Both men and women were granted the 200 metres freestyle race in 1968 , giving swimmers an intermediate distance race between 100 metres and 400 metres.
