The Unique Challenge of Obstacle Swimming
The 1900 Summer Games in Paris featured a unique and grueling event called obstacle swimming, which has not been repeated in Olympic history. Competitors had to swim a total of 200 meters in the open waters of the Seine River while navigating various obstacles, including diving onto platforms, leaping onto boats, and swimming under other boats. This challenging format led to a high dropout rate, as not every competitor managed to finish the event. The design of this event illustrates the extreme and diverse nature of swimming as a sport during the early 20th century.
