The qualifying period will take place Nov. 30, 2022-May 30, 2024.  

“Having our Olympic Trials time standards available to our swimmers is a big step towards Indianapolis and Paris 2024,” U.S. National Team Managing Director Lindsay Mintenko said. “The drops in time from the 2020 Trials Time Standards are a sign that our sport is continuing to get faster across all events and disciplines. We look forward to seeing our nation’s best swimmers compete in Indianapolis in two years and are excited to name the next U.S. Olympic Team.” 

Compared to the time standards for Wave I of the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Swimming, male events are 1.0% faster on average while the women’s events average out to be 0.8% faster. The 100-meter breaststroke saw the biggest drop (1.74%) in men’s events compared to the previous Trials time standards, while the 100m backstroke had the biggest drop (1.28%) among women’s events.
