Swimming at the 1976 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre freestyle
The men's 200 metre freestyle event at the 1976 Olympic Games took place July 19.[1] This swimming event used freestyle swimming, which means that the method of the stroke is not regulated (unlike backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly events). Nearly all swimmers use the front crawl or a variant of that stroke. Because an Olympic size swimming pool is 50 metres long, this race consisted of four lengths of the pool.
