How Much Do You Know? Test Your Swimming Knowledge!
It’s a quieter time in the sport. The World Championships concluded last month and the NCAA season is still several weeks away from ramping up. Next month, the World Cup will come to North America, with a pair of stops in the United States and one in Canada. Those competitions will be held in the short-course meters format, and a handful of world records could come under fire.
In the meantime, let’s see how much our readers know about this great sport. Below, you will find a five-question quiz that covers several topics in the sport: Great athletes; the Olympic Games; Sponsorships; and more. This quiz won’t take much time, but if you nail all five answers, celebrate your swimming knowledge. Then, convince your teammates or coaches to take the test. See if they can match your water wisdom!
Now, if you get a few questions wrong, don’t worry! There’s still three years until the next Olympic Games, which will be held on American soil. While the athletes dedicate themselves to their training, you can read up on the sport and become a gold medalist when it comes to swimming knowledge.
All right, have some fun!
