Swimming - Team Netherlands

General
The Dutch men's 4x100m freestyle relay team first appeared in the event at the Olympic Games in 1964 in Tokyo, and are making their return to the Olympic stage in Tokyo after not competing at the Games in 2012 and 2016.

On their last appearance in Beijing in 2008 they failed to progress from their heat. Four years earlier, however, they had won a silver medal behind South Africa and ahead of the United States of America at the 2004 Games in Athens, which remains their only Olympic medal in the event.

The Netherlands have also won a lone silver medal in the event at the world championships, which they achieved in 2001 behind winners Australia. They did not progress from the heats at the last edition of the tournament in 2019.
