		Organized swimming hardly existed until the nineteenth century, although the Japanese did have competitive swimming as far back as 36 B.C. During the Middle Ages Europeans swam very little — the feeling was that water spread disease, and should be avoided (for washing too!).

World-class swimmers used to try to root out the s-curve from their strokes, but "it kept winning races," and now the s-curve is lovingly cultivated.
		Today in Olympic competition men and women swim four strokes: the freestyle (which in practice means "the crawl"), the butterfly, the backstroke, and the breaststroke.
