Samenvatting

Fully exploring the links between swimming and other aspects of English society including; class, education, gender, municipal governance, sexuality and the Victorian invention of the sports amateur/professional divide, this unique book is the first of its kind and will be an important landmark in the establishment of swimming history as a topic of scholarly investigation.



Covering a time of great social and technological change, this history traces the development of the four classic aquatic disciplines of competitive swimming, diving, synchronized swimming and water polo, with its main focus on racing. Working from the beginnings of municipal recreational swimming, the book fully explores the links between swimming and other aspects of English life society including class, education, gender, municipal governance, sexuality and the Victorian invention of the sports amateur-professional divide.

Uniquely focused on swimming -often neglected in analytic sports histories- this is the first study of its kind and will be an important landmark in the establishment of swimming history as a topic of scholarly investigation.

This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
