2023-2024 USA SWIMMING NATIONAL TEAM

Team will be announced September 11, 2023

• Athletes named to the 2023-2024 National Team will be on the National Team from September 11, 2023 - September 8, 2024.
  
  
  • For purposes of these Selection Procedures, Athletes will be selected based on Times. An Athlete's "Time" means the fastest long course meters time swum by that Athlete in each individual event swum at the Olympic Games ("Individual Olympic Event"), from any of the following competitions (i) a USA Swimming sanctioned competition, (ii) an AQUA approved competition, for the 2023 World Aquatics Championships, which can be found here; or (iii) an international competition between January 1, 2023 through September 9, 2023, to which USA Swimming sent a team.
    
    
  • Only that one Time will be used per Athlete, per Individual Olympic Event.
    
    
  • The six Athletes with the fastest Times in each Individual Olympic Event will be selected to the Team.
    
    
• Relay lead-offs, time trials, swim-offs and intermediate splits will not be included.
  
  
• Only Times from prelims, semi-finals and finals (A, B, C and D) will be used.
  
  
• Times from “approved meets” or “observed swims” will not be considered.
  
  
• The National Team roster will be selected according to the usaswimming.org Times database on www.usaswimming.org as of September 11, 2022, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time.
  
  
• Athletes who compete in the 2023 Pan American Games, as part of the team selected by USA Swimming, will be eligible to be added to the National Team on November 1, 2023, if any of their times swum in an Individual Olympic Event in prelims or finals (A and B) at the 2023 Pan American Games, are faster than the Times of any of the Athletes already selected to the National Team in that same Individual Olympic Event. For example, if Athlete X (who is not already on the National Team in the 50-meter Freestyle) achieves a time at the 2023 Pan American Games in the 50-meter Freestyle, then Athlete X will be added to the National Team in the 50-meter Freestyle. Regardless of any additions to the National Team based on times swum at the 2023 Pan American Games, no members of the National Team, announced September 11, 2023, will lose their spot on the team.
  
  
• If Athlete’s time is not in the usaswimming.org Times database, it is up to Athlete to contact USA Swimming with a proof of time prior to September 11, 2023.
