To do so, we analyzed the construction of social images of the female body in sport in general and then specifically in swimming (scenario as well as the representation of these social images in the visual images, which in this thesis in question were the photographs. The photographs in turn were analyzed through the proposal of Goffman (1979) and Pruitt (2013). The swimsuits were studied considering the social context in which they were made, as well as their technical description. Brazilian female swimming was divided into five periods: glamor era (1932-1952); era of scientism (1972-1976); the beginnings of professionalism (1988-1996); technological age (2000-2009); and posttechnological era (2010- to the present day). Interviews were conducted with swimmers Maria Isabel Guerra, Flávia Nadalutti, Adriana Salazar and Fabíola Molina, as well as some photographs of their personal archive and photographs available in the media. We also analyzed photographs of swimmers Maria Lenk, Piedade Coutinho, Patrícia Amorim, Rebeca Gusmão and Etiene Medeiros. After that, the images of swimmers published in Veja magazine between 1968 and 2016 were investigated.
