Olympic Men's Swimming

Team USA has been historically dominant in Men’s Swimming. Michael Phelps holds the most medals of any Olympian with 28, including 23 gold medals, in swimming events. American swimmer Caeleb Dressel has already earned seven gold medals in two Olympic appearances, competing in freestyle, butterfly, and relay events.

Olympic Women's Swimming

Women’s Swimming joined the Olympic program in 1912 with two events, but now features the same lineup of events as the men’s competition. American Jenny Thompson holds the all-time gold medal record by a U.S. woman with eight, but Katie Ledecky, with seven gold medals out of ten total, could break that record in Paris.
