'''Olympiacos''' '''swimming club''' is the swimming department of the major [[Greece|Greek]] [[Sports club|multi-sport club]], [[Olympiacos CFP]], based in [[Piraeus]], [[Greece]]. The department was founded in 1925, being one of the founding members of the [[Hellenic Swimming Federation]].
The swimming club was established in 1925. It has produced athletes who have won numerous Greek championships and several European competitions. It is open to men, women and young people.

Olympiacos is the most successful team in the history of Greek swimming, having won a record 64 [[:el:Πανελλήνιο πρωτάθλημα κολύμβησης OPEN|Greek League Championships]], 9 [[:el:Πανελλήνιο πρωτάθλημα κολύμβησης ανοικτής θάλασσας|Greek Open Water Championships]], 4 Greek Cups (25m pool), 1 Panhellenic Masters Championship and 1 [[:el:Σούπερ Καπ Ελλάδας (κολύμβηση)|Greek Super Cup]]. The club's dominating success can be further evidenced by the fact that all other Greek swimming clubs have won a combined total of 34 Greek League titles. Olympiacos also hold the record for the most consecutive Greek League titles won, with twenty-eight (28) in a row (1996–2023), which is a record in [[Greece|Greek]] sports history. Olympiakos swimming department holds the world record of having won at least one title in every season, for fifty-three (54) consecutive years. Since 1997, the department is led by head coach [[:el:Νίκος Γέμελος|Nikos Gemelos]], who has coached Olympiacos to 27 consecutive Greek League titles.
