Heats[change | change source]
The heats took place on 20 April 1922 September, on the first day of the swimming competitions. The heats of the 400 metres freestyle was the only swimming event held that first day.[3] The fastest swimmer of each heat and the fast nummer two of the heats continued to the final.[4]
There would initially be three heats.[5] This was later adjusted to four heats.[3] In the initial third heat, the Italian Togier and British Wehman (might be a typo with Neman) are named, but they were not mentioned in a Dutch results article.[3] They may have withdrawn or didn't swim noteworthy in the heats.
The first heat was won by the 17-years old Swedisch champion Carin Nilsson. Her swimming style was described of very fast and beautiful. Her time of 7:11 was stated as a very good time.[3] The second heat was a walk-over by the French champion Ernestine Lebrun of Tourcoing.[3] In the third head, the Dutch Evelien of swimming club H. D. Z. won in an easy way of her French opponent.[3] The fourth heat was a tough battle between the British V. Newman and the Belgian Elisa van den Bogaert. Van den Bogaert swam in breaststroke. She led the race but was caught in the last part of the reace, just before the finish.[3]
