INDIANAPOLIS — Eight Notre Dame swimmers will compete at one of the fastest meets in the world this upcoming week, as the Irish head to Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts, for the U.S. Olympic Trials from June 15-23.
In total, there are 28 events. In most events, the fastest swimmer in each event (and top-four swimmers in the 100M and 200M free) will be given priority to make Team USA. After that, the second place swimmer (and fifth and sixth swimmers in the 100M and 200M freestyle) will be considered for Paris.
Rising Notre Dame senior Chris Guiliano has the best shot at making the American roster. The freestyle specialist has emerged as one of the world’s best over the last few years after making the World Championships last summer and winning four individual ACC titles since February 2023. He was this year’s ACC Swimmer of the Year and went 40.62 in the 100 freestyle at ACC Championships, becoming the third-fastest performer in the event in history.
