The 2024 Paris Olympics are swiftly approaching, but before we dive into 16 days of competition across gymnastics, diving, swimming, track and more, it’s time to see who will make the cut for Team USA at the 2024 Olympic Team Trials. First up: the Olympic Swim Trials. Starting this Saturday, over 700 swimmers — including Lilly King, Katie Ledecky and Caeleb Dressel, will gather in Indianapolis, Indiana at Lucas Oil Stadium to compete for a spot on Team USA. The football stadium has been transformed into a swimming venue to accommodate the trials, which seems fitting considering many of the swimming competitions at the Paris Olympics will also be held in temporary pools (when they’re not swimming in the Seine, that is).
Are you ready to see who among the Team USA hopefuls will make the biggest splash? Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the 2024 U.S. Olympic Swim Trials.
