United States Olympic trials (swimming)

The United States Olympic team swim trials are held before every Summer Olympic Games to select the US Olympic swimming team participants. The event is overseen by the United States Olympic Committee and run by USA Swimming.

The first Olympic trials were held in 1920 in Alameda, California,[1] to select swimmers for the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. The men's and women's trials have been held separately six times.[2]
