What kind of swimsuits did the competitors wear in the 1864 Swim Olympics?

Jason P asked:


Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
It was the 1864 Olympic in Athens, Greece where they competed.

   I’m guessing you mean the 1964 olympics in Tokyo (they didn’t exist in 1864). The Australian team at the time wore normal Speedo suits nothing high tech like now

   First of all, the modern Olympic Games didn’t exist in 1864- and the ones held a century later were held in Tokyo, Japan that year. As to swimsuits, I couldn’t tell you what they looked like, because I was only a year old myself that year- and babies usually don’t watch the Games.
