Swimming at the 1984 Summer Olympics was held from 29 July to 4 August 1984 at McDonald's Olympic Swim Stadium.
For the first time, the National Olympic Committees were allowed to enter a maximum of two swimmers in each individual event. Additionally, the men's and women's 200 metres individual medley returned to the swimming program for 1984 from a twelve-year absence, following a proposal by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOC).
