In the Modern Era, the Olympic Games in Athens took place from April 6 to 15, 1896, symbolizing the recognition and return of the cult of sport, with swimming as one of the integrating modalities. In the late 19th century, Greece, the host country of the first Summer Olympic Games of the Modern Era, was facing a strong political and economic crisis, and therefore did not have the resources to organize the Olympics, as described by Krug and Magri (2012). Thanks to the financial support of a millionaire businessman (George M. Averoff), who revitalized and built spaces for competitions, it was possible to hold this event, which had the Frenchman Pierre de Frédy, Baron de Coubertin, as its creator and great responsible for leading the revival of the games existing in Ancient Greece. Regarding swimming, in the period of the resurgence of the Olympic Games:

1. It was in this period that its recognition as a sports practice took place.
2. In the 1896 edition, there was a record of registered swimmers, with about 2,000 athletes and more than 100 countries.
3. In 1896, the Olympics brought swimming events, which were held in open sea, in the Bay of Zea, in the Mediterranean Sea, with very low water temperature (10°C).
