In the ancient Olympics, swimming was not a formal event like it is today. However, swimming was a popular activity among athletes and was often included in pentathlon competitions, which featured events like running, Wrestling, and discus throw. The Greeks valued swimming for both its practical applications and its role in training for other athletic events. Competitors often swam in natural bodies of water, such as rivers or the sea, rather than in purpose-built pools.
