Template:Infobox swimmer
 | This template is a customized wrapper for {{Infobox sportsperson}}. Any field from {{Infobox sportsperson}} can work so long as it is added to this template first. It will also emit the same hCard microformat as {{Infobox sportsperson}}. Questions? Just ask on Template talk:Infobox sportsperson. |

Intended uses[change source]
This infobox template is intended to be used in articles about current and former competition swimmers. This infobox template is not intended to be used for articles about former competition swimmers who are primarily notable as competition swimming coaches. Articles about American college swimming coaches use Template:Infobox college coach, the uniform template for college coaches in all American college sports. Infobox college coach may be adapted for swimming coaches of other nationalities; if it is inappropriate for other coaches for any reason, consider using Template:Infobox person.

Parameter instructions[change source]
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| name | The common name of the swimmer. |
| image | A photograph of the swimmer. Type the name of the image file without adding "Image:" or "File:" before it, nor wikilinking it. |
| image_size | The image size. Only use this parameter if the image is less than 220 pixels in width. If so, then indicate the image's respective width in pixels, like this: "image_size=200". |
| alt | Alternative text describing the image displayed for visually impaired readers. |
| caption | A brief caption for the image displayed. |
| native_name | The swimmer's name in his or her native language, if different than name. |
| native_name_lang | ISO 639-2 code, e.g., "fre" or "fra" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} in |native_name= instead.
|
| birth_name | The birth name of the swimmer, if different than name. |
| full_name | The full name of the swimmer, if different than name and birth_name. |
| nickname | The swimmer's common nickname(s) set off with quote marks. If there is more than one nickname, list the names alphabetically and separate them with commas. All nicknames must be verified by reliable sources per WP:V, WP:RS and WP:BLP; otherwise, they should be removed. |
| nationality | The swimmer's nationality. Complicated situations of nationality and multiple citizenship should be explained in the main body text of the article, if relevant, not in the infobox. If the swimmer has competed in international championships such as the Olympics, FINA world championships, Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games, and Pan Pacific Championships, use the "national team" parameter instead of the "nationality" parameter. |
| national_team | The national swimming team for which the swimmer competes in international events. If the "national team" parameter is invoked, the "nationality" parameter is excluded. This parameter is only used for swimmers who have represented their country as a member of their national team in international competition such as the Olympic Games, FINA world championships, Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games, and Pan Pacific Championships. A flag icon, representing the swimmer's national team, is used in this parameter; for example, "{{USA}}", renders a 7-pixel U.S. flag and the words "United States".
|
| birth_date | The swimmer's birth date. Use {{Birth date and age|yyyy|mm|dd}} for living swimmers; use {{Birth date|yyyy|mm|dd}} for deceased swimmers.
|
| birth_place | The swimmer's place of birth. Note that this is not necessarily the same as the swimmer's "hometown." Birth place should be wiki-linked to the Wikipedia article about the town or city where the swimmer was born. |
| death_date | The swimmer's death date, if applicable. Use {{Death date and age|death year|death month|death day|birth year|birth month|birth day}}.
|
| death_place | The swimmer's place of death, if applicable. Death place should be wiki-linked to the Wikipedia article about the town or city where the swimmer died. |
| height | The swimmer's height. If the swimmer is American, state measurements in feet and inches, otherwise state measurements in centimetres or metres. The infobox will automatically display the appropriate conversion within parentheses. The height parameter also accepts conversions done via the {{Convert}} template, such as "{{convert|6|ft|2|in|m|abbr=on}}" or "{{convert|1.70|m|ftin|abbr=on}}". For additional documentation and examples, see Template:Infobox sportsperson § height.
|
| weight | The swimmer's weight. If the swimmer is American, state measurements in pounds, otherwise state measurements in kilograms. The infobox will automatically display the appropriate conversion within parentheses. The weight parameter also accepts conversions done via the {{Convert}} template, such as "{{convert|120|lb|kg|abbr=on}}" or "{{convert|72|kg|lb|abbr=on}}". For additional documentation and examples, see Template:Infobox sportsperson § weight.
|
| website | Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under ==External links== in the body of the article. Use {{URL}} as in {{URL|examplesite.com|ExampleSite.com}}.
|
| Added parameters for swimmers | |
| strokes | The swimmer's primary competitive stroke. If there is more than one stroke, list them alphabetically and separate them by commas. Strokes should be wiki-linked to the relevant Wikipedia articles. |
| classification | The swimmer's disability swimming classifications. For para-swimmers only. |
| club | The name of the swimming club to which the swimmer belongs. |
| collegeteam | The name of the college team to which the swimmer belongs or belonged. The college team should be wiki-linked to the Wikipedia article about the college team or sports program. |
| coach | The name of the swimmer's current coach, if the coach is notable per WP:N or otherwise noteworthy within the national or international swimming community. The swimmer's coach may be wiki-linked if a Wikipedia article about the coach exists. |
| Parameters for medal templates | |
| medaltemplates | All templates from the medal record infobox except {{MedalTableTop}} and {{MedalBottom}}.
Use the normal order (see the medal templates documentation): |
| show-medals | If "show-medals=yes", the medal table is displayed. Otherwise, it is hidden and will only be shown if the "show" link is used. It is recommended for swimmers with large numbers of medals that this parameter should be toggled "no" because of the disproportionate amount of article space the extended infobox will require. |
