What have been the biggest moments in the history of swimming?
Are you talking about competition results, competitive careers, and the like? Are are you looking for things like the advent of the flip turn (tumble turn)? I think that was a big ‘moment’ in the history of swimming.

I’d think the development of the various strokes would be considered “big moments” too.

That's a question I hadn't considered. I was thinking moments as in competition results, but you raise a good point. Charlie Daniels "inventing" American crawl might be another because it gave us the freestyle stroke we know today.

In that case, the "Berkoff Blastoff."
