Picture No	10217328
Date	1912
Description	English ladies' swimming team - Stockholm Olympics 1912
Details	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.
