Swimming - Team Sweden

General
Sweden have made 21 Olympic appearances in the 4x100m freestyle relay, a total that they share with the Netherlands, and is second only to Great Britain and the United States of America who are both on 22 Olympic appearances. Sweden's best result in the event is a silver medal at the 1980 Games, followed by three bronze medals including their most recent in 2000 in Sydney.

At the 2012 Games in London, Sweden were disqualified from the final for an early changeover on the last leg. Despite that frustrating outcome, Sweden could take some solace in making it back into the top eight after missing the final four years earlier in Beijing. At the most recent Games in 2016 in Rio, they finished fifth.

Despite many attempts, Sweden have never won a world championships medal in the event. Their best result is fourth, which they have achieved on four occasions, including at the 2013 and 2015 editions.

At continental level they won gold at the European championships in 2014, followed by bronze in 2016, before slumping to 10th in 2018. They returned to the final in 2021, finishing fifth.
