    History

    Archaeological and other evidence shows swimming to have been practiced as


    early as 2500 BCE in Egypt and thereafter in Assyrian, Greek, and Roman
    civilizations. In Greece and Rome swimming was a part of martial training and
    was, with the alphabet, also part of elementary education for males. In the
    Orient swimming dates back at least to the 1st century BCE, there being some
    evidence of swimming races then in Japan. By the 17th century an imperial
    edict had made the teaching of swimming compulsory in the schools.
    Organized swimming events were held in the 19th century before Japan was
    opened to the Western world. Among the preliterate maritime peoples of the
    Pacific, swimming was evidently learned by children about the time they
    walked, or even before. Among the ancient Greeks there is note of occasional
    races, and a famous boxer swam as part of his training. The Romans built
    swimming pools, distinct from their baths. In the 1st century BCE the
    Roman Gaius Maecenas is said to have built the first heated swimming pool.
