In fact, it had the second-highest viewership after Gymnastics in the Paris Olympic Games.  As simple as competitive swimming seems, perhaps no sport has seen greater improvements in performance than swimming. This is due to a host of innovations that have revolutionized the sport. Learn about competitive swimming and the advances that have improved performance in this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
