Search Inventors The History of Swimming Pools By Mary Bellis Swimming as an organized activity goes back as far as 2500 B.C. in ancient Egypt and later in ancient Greece, Rome, and Assyria. In Rome and Greece, swimming was part of the education of elementary age boys and the Romans built the first pools (separate from bathing pools). The first heated swimming pool was built by Gaius Maecenas of Rome in the first century BC. Gaius Maecenas was a rich Roman lord and considered one of the first patron of arts - he supported the famous poets Horace, Virgil, and Propertius, making it possible for them to live and write without fear of poverty. However, swimming pools did not became popular until the middle of the 19th century. By 1837, six indoor pools with diving boards were built in London, England. After the modern Olympic Games began in 1896 and swimming races were among the original events, the popularity of swimming pools began to spread - Reference Britannica

Synchro History A Bitof-history. Today s sport. synchronized swimming made its Olympicdebut in 1984 at Los Angeles with solo and duet events. The http://pwss.topcities.com/pwsshist.htm
Extractions: Today's synchronized swimmers mesmerize their audiences with their grace and beauty, exhibiting total control of their bodies in an unstable medium. The sport combines the pleasing attributes of ballet with the strength and control of gymnastics. Originally referred to as "water ballet," the synchronized swimmer combines athletic ability and creative style. Competitions began in England at the turn of the century, where streams, holes, and ponds were the venues, and natatoruims were years away. The modern version of the sport was instituted in the U.S. in 1916, by Katherine Curtis, a swimmer for the University of Wisconsin. The phrase "synchronized swimming" was coined by a radio announcer while broadcasting the 1934 World's Fair. The sport was later popularized by Esther Williams , a U.S. 100 meter freestyle champion at the 1939 World's Fair, and her subsequent Hollywood movies. Williams presence gave synchronized swimming two qualities it had been missing; recognition and a national audience. The first competition in America was held at Wright Junior College in 1939, between Wright Junior College and the Chicago Teachers Union. The eight nations that have qualified for the Olympics are: U.S., Canada, Japan, Russia, France, China, Italy, and Mexico. This is also the order they finished in the 1995 World Cup Competition at the Georgia Tech. facility. The American team has been ranked number one since 1991.

Extractions: Synchronized Swimming Of all the Olympic sports, synchronized swimming has been the butt of the most jokes. Its critics cannot understand how it qualifies for a place at the highest alter in sport, when it appears to be little more than a group of women smiling a lot, duck diving and wiggling their legs in the air. But this interpretation misses the athleticism, artistry and strength required to compete in synchronized swimming at the highest level. The sport requires grace, agility, flexibility, near-perfect timing, musical interpretation and a sense of the dramatic.

2000 Olympics--Diving And Synchronized Diving From WWA Read about synchronized Diving However, since swimming and diving both use a watermedium feet high) achieved international notice in the 1904 olympic Games in http://www.worldwideaquatics.com/olympics/aboutdiving.htm
Extractions: By Dr. Ron O'Brien, U.S. Diving National Technical Director The origin of fancy diving goes as far back as the 17th century in connection with the great gymnastic movement in Germany and Sweden. In the summertime, gymnasts moved their equipment to the beaches, and acrobatics over the water became a part of their activities. Diving, then, is more related to gymnastics than to swimming. However, since swimming and diving both use a water medium, they have naturally become linked. Platform diving (33 feet high) achieved international notice in the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis when it was included as an event on the men's swimming program. Springboard diving was added for the 1908 Games in London. Women's diving was slower in being accepted. It was not until 1912 that plain high diving was included in the Olympics, and 1920 that the first women's springboard contest was conducted. Fancy high diving for women came into being in 1928 internationally. As could be expected, Germany and Sweden dominated the early competition. It wasn't until 1920 that the United States reached worldwide prominence in diving by winning three of the gold medals in the Olympics (men's and women's springboard and men's platform events). From that time through 1992, the United States has been the world leader in diving. The total count is 46 of 75 Olympic gold medals for the United States.
