[edit] History
The first Swedish Swimming Championship was held in 1899 and in the beginning the championships were held in lakes or seas. During the 1920s and 1930s next to all championships were held in Eriksdalsbadet in Stockholm, but when it was demolished the championships started to move around Sweden.
Since 1953 there has been two championships per year, one in short course meters and one in long course meter and since 1988 the Senior's and Junior's long course championships are hosted together.
The swimmer with the most individual gold medals is Therese Alshammar with 73, before Anders Holmertz with 72.
