Swimming is a competitive sport that involves floating and moving through water using technical strokes. It became popular again in the late 19th century when its healing properties were discovered. The first organized swimming competitions occurred in Australia and Europe, with the first company being the National Swimming Society founded in London in 1837. There are four main strokes: freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke. Fair play principles in swimming include respecting officials' decisions, accepting victories and losses gracefully, and treating opponents with respect both during and outside of competition. Doping violates fair play principles and there are different types of doping substances some swimmers use illegally, like amphetamines, anabolic steroids, and growth hormone, as
