And what happens if there is more than one per nation? We assume that everyone is cheering for nations, and not the athletes? :p

Yes.

 Yes, and also 4x100 medley m/w, I hope in 2024 will be added 50 m backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly, 4 x 100 freestyle mixed, 4 x 200 freestyle mixed, and in next period something really new like swimming in 100m pools...

What about a 400m backstroke (I’m really into this idea)

And which swimming events should be taken out to make place for that?

prolong the duration of swimming competitions, swimming in the pool takes only first week of games

Yes, and it has around 8 billion events already, so if events are going to be added, surely some others should be taken out.

in gymnastics, there are all-around team and all-around individual

in swimming could be

backstroke all-around individual (one swimmer swims 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m)

backstroke all-around team (more swimmers swims 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m)

and same for other styles

Transoceanic swimming (from San Francisco to Tokyo for the next Olympics).

 

No water swimming: judges evaluate athletes who pretend to swim (on a skateboard)

I would be so much in favor of some sort of swimming kabaddi :d

So Water Polo without a ball?
