Here's everything you need to know about the 2024 Olympic Swim Trials in Indianapolis
This will be the first time the event will be staged on a football field in front of thousands of families, friends and fans.
The 2024 USA Swim Trials, which will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium, will run from June 15-23.
Tickets are still available and can be purchased here through USA Swimming. There are session, single-day and multi-day tickets available.
On Wednesday June 19, USA Swimming announced they are opening new lower level seats at a discounted rate. They are selling 200-level tickets for over 50% off. Single tickets that were $133 are now two for $100. Click here for more information.
This will be the first time the event will be staged on a football field in front of thousands of families, friends and fans. Three temporary pools – two 50-meter and one 25-meter – will be installed over the field in Lucas Oil Stadium.
The first time Indiana hosted Olympic swimming trials was nearly 100 years ago, in 1924 at Broad Ripple Park. In an interesting parallel, those athletes were also working to qualify for the Olympic Games in Paris.
Visitors can expect downtown fanfare, which includes Toyota Aqua Zone fan fest in the convention center, and USA Swimming LIVE – which is a downtown fan activation.
