Follow me on:

All the pool swimming is done, and the USA came out way up with 30 medals (16 Gold, 8 Silver, 6 Bronze). Japan was second in total Olympic swimming medals with 11 (3 Silver, 8 Bronze), and in a tie for third with 10 Olympic medals, Australia (1 Gold, 6 Silver, 3 Bronze) and China (5 Gold, 2 Silver, 3 Bronze).

If you score the Olympics like a swim meet, with 5 pointes for first, 3 for second, and 1 for third, with relays counting double points, then the USA was first with 134, Australia second with 38, France third with 36, and China fourth with 35. Check out the full Olympic swimming medal table for all of the medals and points.
