List of Australian Olympic medallists in swimming

Frederick Lane was Australia's sole swimming representative at the 1900 Games, winning two individual gold medals.

The table includes Malcolm Champion, a New Zealander who was part of the 4×200-metre freestyle relay team that captured gold in 1912.

East Germany is in third place with 38 golds, although this is widely attributed to state-sponsored systematic doping programs.

Swimmers have been given the honour of carrying the Australian flag six times in twelve at the closing ceremony, which is traditionally reserved for the most successful athlete of the delegation.

Australia's first medal outside of freestyle did not come until 1932 when Clare Dennis and Bonnie Mealing won gold and silver in the 200-metre breaststroke and 100-metre backstroke respectively.
