This is a list of women's amateur Swedish swimming champions. The Swedish Swimming Championships (Swedish: Svenska Mästerskapen i simning, SM i simning, Sim-SM, Långbane-SM) are held annually in the Swedish summer in an outdoor 50-metre (55 yd) pool. The national championships are also trials for the Summer Olympics, World Championships and European Championships. Records go back to 1899 in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and various relays and IM competitions. This list was compiled from Historiska simtag: Svensk simidrott under hundra år, Solna: Svenska Simförbundet.
Famous quotes containing the words list, swimming and/or champions:
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in one’s inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mother’s grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?
Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
