Abstract

The article focuses on the Australian national swimming team for the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. The Australian tam is led by a 15-year old boy named John Konrads and his 13-year old sister, Ilsa. The Konrads siblings have set eight world swimming records including records in the 800-meter, 880-yard freestyle, and the 200-meter freestyle. The Konrads' trademark is a crawl stroke that emphasizes arm power over leg power and a bent-arm recovery.
