At the Paris 2024 Olympics, U.S. swimmers secured eight gold medals, their lowest total since 1988, narrowly leading Australia. While American athletes like Katie Ledecky and Torri Huske excelled, international swimmers such as France’s Leon Marchand and Canada’s Summer McIntosh made significant strides, reflecting a more competitive global landscape. With new training methods and international coaching knowledge impacting the sport, the U.S. aims to improve ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games, where swimming will be showcased in a grand setting.
