  1. 1 Easy

    Which river hosted the 1900 Olympic swim races?

    Answer: Benjamin Franklin

  3. 3 Hard

    When did butterfly become its own Olympic event?

    Answer: 1956

    Why: Butterfly began as a breaststroke loophole, since the old rules never banned swinging the arms forward over the water.

  4. 4 Easy

    How many false starts are allowed per swimmer?

    Answer: Zero

    Which strokes are allowed in a freestyle race?

    Answer: Any stroke

    Why: Freestylers pick the front crawl because it is the fastest stroke, not because the rules require it.

    Answer: Egypt

    Why: Its swimmers were painted 6,000 to 9,000 years ago, when that now bone-dry part of the Sahara was far wetter.
