When did swimming begen?

Hi. The first recorded swimming races were held in Japan in 36 B.C. However, ancient drawings and paintings depicting people swimming date back to 2500 A.D. in Egypt. Also, the first swimming event in the Olympics did not happen until 1896. Depending on what you are looking for swimming has a somewhat scattered history. I hope that helped. Thanks, Swimoutlet.com
