More girls swim than boys, although the gender gap is narrowing.
According to a 2007 reference, females competitively swim and dive in larger numbers. While this data point is older, it gives a general idea of participation. It's important to note that this reference points to a narrowing gap, implying that participation among boys is increasing. Newer data would be needed to definitively state the current participation rates.
Without more recent, comprehensive data, it's challenging to provide an absolute current answer. However, based on the available information:
- Historically: More girls have participated in swimming.
- Trend: The difference in participation between boys and girls is decreasing.
Therefore, based on the most directly relevant available information, it is still more girls that swim.
