Swimming events at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris kicked off Saturday, and Team USA put on a strong showing, medaling in three of four events, including its first gold. Each day, there are two sets of heats for men’s and women’s events — morning and evening sessions — concluding with the final of the women’s 4x100m medley relay on Sunday, Aug. 4. The full schedule and times are at the bottom of this page.
Recent Olympics have proved to be a straight fight between the United States and Australia for dominance in pool-based events, with the US leading the swimming medal tally at the past six Games.
American hopes will be largely pinned on Katie Ledecky and Caeleb Dressel, Team USA’s two most decorated swimmers. Ledecky is widely expected to win the Women’s 800m and 1,500m freestyle. Hopes of her making it a golden hat trick were dashed on Saturday as she took bronze in the 400m free behind Canada’s Summer McIntosh and Australia’s Ariarne Titmus, who won the gold medal. The US Women’s team also snatched up a silver for the 4x100m freestyle relay, finishing behind Australia.Â
Seven-time Olympic medalist Dressel, meanwhile, offers the USA’s best hopes in the Men’s events but could face strong competition from teammate and four-time champion Ryan Murphy in his efforts to claim the largest medal haul at Paris 2024. The US Men’s team is off to a strong start, taking home the first US gold medal in the 4x100m freestyle relay.Â
