Women's swimming and diving events were first included on the Olympic programme in 1912. The Butterfly stroke was permissible in Breaststroke events up to and including 1952. Between 1912 and 1928 diving events were decided by ordinals rather by points. Men's Medallists are listed on a separate page. A compilation of swimming and diving medallists in other major international events is available in the International Swimming & Diving Championships and Games section on this site.
