Countdown to Day 1 in Paris!

We are just days away from the start of Olympic swimming competition and the best time of year to be a swim fan!  Come join us in sharing your thoughts on your favorite athletes, races and what you are most looking forward to watching as well as memories from past Olympic games. 

Day 1 is an exciting day for Team USA with the W 100 fly and world record holder Gretchen Walsh making her Olympic debut and of course, Katie Ledecky looking for gold in the 400 free at her 4th Olympic games. Other day 1 events include the 4x100 free relay for both M and W as well as the 400 Free and 100 breast for men. 

Can the USA women go 1-2 in the 100 fly? Will Katie Ledecky and Ariarne Titmus have another race for gold in the 400 free? Will the USA men come out on top in the 4x100 free relay?
