As of last week, 1,305 athletes had qualified for the Olympic trials since the window opened Nov. 28, 2018.

All 200 athletes were tested for COVID-19 prior to arriving in San Antonio and were tested again, locally, by Community Labs. Both genders will be combined for the finals session, and athletes who do not qualify will not be allowed in the building. Friday, Saturday and Sunday will each feature two prelim sessions starting at 9 a.m. and one finals session at 7 p.m. Each session will be live-streamed on usaswimming.org.
