Top U.S. Swimming Athletes to Watch at The Olympics
Before The Games begin, here’s an overview of some of the best swimmers on Team USA.
Caleb Dressel: Caeleb Dressel is the first male swimmer to ever win gold medals in the 50- and 100-meter freestyles and the 100-meter butterfly over the course of a single Olympics, and he holds seven golds. He’s easily the top male swimmer on Team USA, and definitely one to watch closely.
Katie Ledecky: Katie Ledecky is considered to be the greatest female swimmer of all time by many, and she’ll be diving into the competition at the Paris Olympics once more. Ledecky has seven Olympic gold medals and 21 world championship medals, making her the most decorated female swimmer ever. She’s also broken numerous records. She’s the women’s swimming counterpart to the great Michael Phelps.
Katie Grimes:Paris 2024 will be teenage swimming phenom Katie Grimes’ second Olympics after her debut in Tokyo, where she took fourth place in the open water swim. She’ll compete in that event again, plus the 1500-meter freestyle and the 400-meter individual medley. Look for her from the banks of the River Seine.
