The 200 metre freestyle event is an event held at the Summer Olympic Games. The men's event was introduced in 1900, held a second time in 1904 (at 220 yards rather than 200 metres), then was not held again until 1968. When the event returned in 1968, both men's and women's events were held. The event has remained on the programme for every Summer Olympics since.
