Five-time Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecy, four-time Olympic medalist Simone Manuel, and 12-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte look to guide the United States swimming team to another stellar showing at the 2021 Summer Olympic Games.

How to Watch the US Olympic Swimming Team Trials

To do so, they’ll have to beat their fellow countrymen and women and earn a spot on the team. Coverage will take place in two waves, beginning June 4-7, then resuming from June 13-20, and includes eight nights of primetime coverage across NBC, NBC Sports Network, and the Olympic Channel.

Ledecky is seeking to tie or break the all-time record for Olympic gold medals won by a U.S. woman with 8, while Lochte is looking to make his fifth team at age 36, a feat only accomplished by fellow countryman Michael Phelps — though Phelps was 31 when he reached his fifth Olympic games. If Lochte were to make the team and medal, he would set the record for the oldest men’s swimmer to medal in an Olympics — something Phelps can’t claim without coming out of retirement.

The full schedule of swimming trials is below:
