The best successful Olympic swimmer is Federica pellegrini, an Italian.
The United States.
That's not a fair comparison, Hansen is one of the best breaststrokers EVER and Crocker one of the best flyers. Now based on achievement on the OLYMPIC stage, Crocker would win.

When an olympic swimmer wins a race and has the letters OR listed next to their name, it stands for ' Olympic Record ". An olympic record means that no swimmer has ever swum a faster time at the olympic games. However, the time is still slower than the world record, denoted by the letters WR. The world record can be set at any official race at any time in the world.

I think Rolandas Gimbutis (Lithuanian swimmer, 3 times olympian) is the tallest swimmer ever. He is 209 cm or 6'10". http://en.beijing2008.cn/news/sports/headlines/swimming/n214508381.shtml
Michael Phelps is an American swimmer that has the record for most Olympic medals won by a single athlete ever. He attended the University of Michigan, where he earned a degree from the College of Arts and Sciences.
There has been at least one tie for an Olympic gold medal. The 2000 Olympics, held in Sydney, Australia, had a tie in the men's 50M freestyle swimming event between Gary Hall, Jr. (USA) and Anthony Ervin (USA). Each swimmer had a time of 21.98 seconds, and each swimmer received a gold medal. There was no silver medal awarded for that event, only two gold and one bronze.
