Ovo je popis osvjača medalja na Ljetnim olimpijskim igrama u plivanju. Popis je poredan po disciplinama gdje su u prvom dijelu navedene one koje se još i danas održavaju, a u drugom dijelu one koje su se održavale.
Napomene * Na Olimpijskim igrama 1896. i 1900. godine nisu se dodjeljivale zlatne medalje. Pobjednik bi dobio srebrnu, a drugoplasirani brončanu. Trećeplasirani nije dobio ništa. U ovom popisu ti plivači navedeni kao pobjednici, tako da bi bilo lakše uspoređivati s uspjesima današnjih plivača.
** Olimpijske međuigre 1906. nemaju nikakav službeni status. Stoga su ovdje rezultati samo navedeni, a u ukupnom zbroju osvojenih odličja se ne uzimaju u obzir.
