Olympic Trials has semifinals for events 200 meters and shorter. The top 16 swimmers from prelims in those events progress to a semi-final that same evening. From semi-finals, the top eight swimmers will compete for a spot on Team USA in finals the following evening. For 400-meter events, the top eight swimmers from prelims will move on to compete in finals that same evening. In 800 and 1500 meter events, the top eight swimmers from prelims will compete in a final the next day.
Phew! We know that’s a lot to remember. Rest assured, we will update you on the progress of our CSC athletes and alumni for second and third swims throughout the meet to ensure you don’t miss a swim! The easiest way to be updated is to follow the Carmel Swim Club Instagram or Facebook pages.
Prelims will begin each day at 11 AM. Finals/Semifinals will start at 8 PM. We would love to have as many fans present as possible in Lucas Oil Stadium to cheer on these athletes in person. Tickets are still available for purchase HERE.
We understand, especially over the course of a nine-day meet, that attending every session is likely not possible for your family. Fortunately, prelims will be broadcast live daily on Peacock and available for delayed viewing at 6:30 PM daily on USA Network. Finals will be live every evening at 8 PM both locally on WTHR and to stream on Peacock. The city will be trying to air each CSC athlete and alumni race on the screen in Midtown Plaza as they’re able.
Finally, All Things Carmel, a city-run shop located on Main Street has “SwimCity, USA” shirts available for purchase for $19.99. Our understanding is that available sizes are limited, so head over soon to if you’re interested in cheering on our swimmers in style. We’ve been alerted that the city is exploring additional partnerships with local businesses to increase community excitement about Trials and SwimCity, USA (we heard a rumor today about a limited-edition pint glass at Sun King that might become available?!) and we promise to update you as we learn of additional ways you can enjoy this enthusiasm and passion for our favorite sport.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. Let’s go, Carmel! FTT (For the Team)
