English ladies swimming team - Stockholm Olympics 1912
The English ladies swimming team at the Stockholm Olympics in 1912, winners of the 4 x 100m race, wearing surprisingly revealing swimming costumes. Women swimmers and divers were seen for the first time at the Games, though modesty was the order of the day. Knickers had to be worn beneath silk swimming suits and robes or overcoats had to be worn right up until the moment the starter was ready to state on your marks which makes this picture all the more surprising. From left to right: Miss Bella Moore, Miss Jennie Fletcher, Madame Jarvis (trainer), Miss Annie Spiers and Miss Irene Steer. Date: 1912

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the English ladies swimming team, victors of the 4 x 100m race at the historic Stockholm Olympics in 1912. The image showcases Bella Moore, Jennie Fletcher, Madame Jarvis (trainer), Annie Spiers, and Irene Steer, who made headlines as the first women swimmers and divers to compete at the Games. Despite the era's emphasis on modesty, these athletes defied expectations with their revealing swimming costumes. Swimsuits were required to be worn with knickers beneath silk suits or overcoats until the starter's command, "On your marks." In this photograph, the team members are seen without their overcoats, displaying their stylish yet daring attire. Their determination and athleticism are evident, as they prepare for their triumphant moment in the pool. The Stockholm Olympics marked a significant milestone in the history of women's sports, and this photograph serves as a testament to the groundbreaking achievements of these pioneering athletes. The English ladies swimming team's victory in the 100m race not only showcased their swimming prowess but also challenged societal norms, paving the way for future generations of female athletes.
