Olympics Swimming

Australia competed in swimming at the Summer Olympics since the 1900, after only sending a runner, Edwin Flack to the 1896 Summer Olympics. Frederick Lane was Australia's sole swimming representative, winning two individual gold medals. Women's events were added at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, with Fanny Durack and Mina Wylie being Australia's first female representatives, winning gold and silver in the 100m freestyle, which was the first women's event on the program. At the 1908 Summer Olympics and the 1912 Summer Olympics, Australia competed by sending a combined team with New Zealand. The table includes Malcolm Champion, a New Zealander who was part of the 4x200m freestyle relay team which captured gold in 1912.

Australia won a total of 52 gold medals in the sport, second to the United States, who won 205, almost four times. East Germany in third place with 32 golds, is widely attributed to state-sponsored systematic doping programs.
