This meet is the U.S. artistic swimming team’s last chance to qualify for the team event at the Paris Olympics.

She is also the world record holder in both events and has won the 800 free in three consecutive Olympics and five consecutive World Championships, dating back to 2012.

Dressel, making his first appearance at a major competition since withdrawing from last year’s World Championships, is expected to contest the 100 free, 50 fly, 100 fly, and 50 free. He is the reigning Olympic champion in the 100 fly, 100 free, and 50 free, as well as the world record holder in the 100 fly.

Other notable athletes expected to compete include four-time Olympic medalist Abbey Weitzeil, two-time Tokyo Olympic champion Bobby Finke, three-time Tokyo Olympic medalist Regan Smith, Tokyo Olympic 4x100m medley champion Michael Andrew, and 2022 world 200m backstroke bronze medalist Shaine Casas.
