To celebrate this accomplishment ESPN Classic TV station is showing all of the USA Gold medal winning swimmers today including all of Mark Spitz's races. Its on right now and will be on tonight. Its on for about 3 hours.
Whats interesting is to see the suits, no goggles, and basically no underwater swimming on either the starts or the turns.

And no caps. Those were the real stuffs. I think the underwater kick should be a separate race itself and now allowed in full-stroke races.
