Swimming should be capped at multi sport events including Olympics something like this :

100m - all 4 strokes

50mFree

400m Medley 

1500m

4*100 free 

4*100 medley 

Open water 10km 

 

It may not happen but that would be my dream games with less trash. 

20 golds are more than enough for a sport which offers nearly no action. 

 

Yeah, unlikely for that to happen. The 200m events are safe. The ones that could be at risk would be the 800m free, 4x200m free and the 4x100m mixed medley.

Clark wins her semifinal in 30.24 to go through, but Vasey is 5th in 31.47 and goes out

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

Something I do find annoying about swimming in general is the pacing of the finals sessions. Those medal ceremonies in between events really kill the momentum and hype of the session.

I find this problem larger at the worlds than at multi-sport games, where you can divide attention to other sports anyway.

I can see people finding swimming a bit repetitive, but I don’t know what races you’ve been watching if you think there’s no action.

 

There are a few events where one person dominates, but it’s not like that’s a phenomenon limited to swimming.

 

I do agree that programs could be reworked to create more difference between events.

We obv need 1500m events for all strokes, along with a 1600m medley.

 

(if any swimming events ought to get the ax it’s the 800m and the mixed medley relay)
