Have you ever tried swimming any distance farther than 100 meters without stopping? Not easy! Doing it with different strokes is even harder. That’s what makes the sport so thrilling to watch: Athletes like Team USA’s Katie Ledecky and France’s Leon Marchand torpedo through the water on their way to the podium and make it all look as natural as walking. As of publication time, the U.S. has secured a whopping 15 medals (of a total 27) in swimming — the most of any sport at the 2024 Summer Olympics — and the aquatic athletics show no signs of slowing down.
Below, see the full remaining schedule for live swimming at the games in Paris. (If you want more than swimming, check out our full Olympics schedule of the biggest medal events, too.) And as you can imagine from the medal count, swimming, like gymnastics, is a big enough deal that it’s typically also featured in NBC’s prime-time coverage, which starts at 8 p.m ET.
We’ll update this post on weekdays as the Olympics progress. Events are listed in Eastern (ET) time and will stream live and replay on Peacock.* Every day, NBC will present at least nine hours of daytime programming live, followed by prime-time coverage. Some events will also appear on Telemundo, USA Network, E!, CNBC, Golf Channel, and Universo.
