What did Olympic Swimming Look Like in 1896? | The Swim Scribe
When you think of swimming at the Olympics your mind might jump back to some of the last couple of Olympic Games, like the 2024 Olympics in Paris where we watched Leon Marchand shine in front of a home crowd, or the delayed Tokyo Olympics in 2021 where we watched athletes triumph after a longer than usual Olympic Cycle. Maybe you think of Michael Phelps going 8 for 8 in Olympic golds in 2008, or MAYBE you go back a little further to the times of other legends of the sport like Mark Spitz or Michael Gross. But I doubt any of you think back to 1896 Olympic Games, the first Olympics of the modern era, with a swimming competition completely unrecognizable compared to the swimming of today.

The Most Underrated Skill in Swimming | Kaitlin Frehling
Swimming technique, endurance, and speed don’t fall apart because you’re “out of shape” — they fall apart when awareness breaks down. In this video, I explain what awareness actually means in swimming, why so many swimmers struggle with it, and how developing awareness is the fastest way to swim better, longer, and with more confidence. You’ll learn how awareness impacts breathing control, pacing, rhythm, body position, and endurance, especially in freestyle and distance swimming- and why the water exposes mistakes the moment you stop paying attention. I also break down how to train awareness in a practical, repeatable way so you can stay relaxed under fatigue, adjust before breakdown happens, and finally see progress without just adding more yardage. Whether you’re a beginner swimmer, triathlete, or masters swimmer looking to improve efficiency, pacing, and endurance, this video will help you understand why awareness is the foundation that everything else builds on.

‘Haenyeo Safe Buddy’ Brings Modern Support to South Korea’s Ancient Free-Diving Tradition
Cheil and the Jeju Institute of Korean Medicine have launched a safety system inspired by the community-driven culture of the “haenyeo” (해녀), the legendary women free-divers of South Korea’s Jeju Province. […]
Haenyeo have traditionally relied on “sunooreum,” a cooperative culture of watching over each other’s safety during diving to prevent accidents. As the number of haenyeo has decreased, the physical distance between them during diving has grown, making this traditional safety net insufficient. The Haenyeo Safe Buddy app bridges the widening physical gap between divers using modern technology.
The app monitors the heart rates of diving haenyeo in real time, comprehensively analyzing heart rate changes and quickly detecting danger signals. In an emergency, it automatically sends a warning alarm to not only the affected diver but to all haenyeo within a 1km radius. This allows nearby divers to immediately initiate primary rescue efforts. This enables rescue efforts to be initiated within the critical 4–6-minute golden rescue window before the average 7-minute arrival time of emergency responders.
