Why does swimming have some many more events at the Olympics than other sports?

It seems disproportionate to other sport, except maybe gymnastics. Some popular sports don’t even have any representation, like cricket or bowling or squash. How did swimming get so much representation?

Swimmer here! Have you watched snowboarding? Skiing? Gymnastics? Diving? Track & field?! Lol. Swimming looks like a lot of events because there’s heats, but really it’s not that many compared to other individual racing sports.
