. Australia claimed eight of the thirteen gold medals available, including both relays and a clean sweep of the medals in the 100 m freestyle, considered the blue-riband event for both men and women. This is the only time that Australia has topped the medal tally in swimming, and the tally of gold medals has not been surpassed despite the expansion of the swimming program to its current 32 events.
Australia has been most successful in the freestyle
discipline, with 37 of the 58 golds coming in the stroke. Eight of the gold have come from the men's 1500 m freestyle, the most victories in the event by any country, which has resulted in the event being dubbed "Australia's race" by Australian commentators. Australia's first medal outside of freestyle did not come until 1932
when Clare Dennis
and Bonnie Mealing
won gold and silver in the 200 m breaststroke
and 100 m backstroke respectively. It was not until John Davies
' victory in the 200 m breaststroke in 1952
