Holding trials just a month before the games may give a rapidly improving swimmer more time to train, prepare, & improve for trials, which may give USA the best swimmers close to trials rather than the best swimmers 3 to 6 months before trials.
Certain swimmers pretty much have a "lock" on their spots. It wouldn't matter if trials were held, a day, a week, a month, 6 months, or even a year or 2 before trials. They'd wind up in 1st or 2nd in finals. We'd be very surprised if swimmers like Missy Franklin, Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, Rebecca Soni, Natalie Coughlin, Nathan Adrian, Allison Schmidt, Dana Vollmer, didn't make it. but some slots are crap shoots, they could go to a number of swimmers. It all depends on what happens at trials.
Times will tell
