“The U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials are a showcase for the best of our sport, with some of the world’s greatest athletes performing at their peak,” said Mike Unger, USA Swimming’s assistant executive director. “Between the fan-friendly in-arena atmosphere and our interactive Aqua Zone on site, this truly is a can’t-miss event.”

The eight-day Trials competition serves as the sole qualifier for pool swimmers on the U.S. Olympic Team for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Athletes will earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team roster at each of the eight finals sessions.

The 2016 Trials will mark the third consecutive Olympic cycle that the Omaha Sports Commission will host the Olympic Trials for swimming in Omaha. Nebraska’s largest city was granted the bid in April 2013, after successful events as the home of the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Trials.

More than 167,000 fans were in attendance for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Swimming in Omaha. NBC Sports televised the eight days of competition live, and the event earned a nomination in the “Sports Event of the Year” category of the illustrious Sports Business Awards.

“The U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials have become one of the country’s greatest sporting events, and Omaha is committed to once again set a new standard,” said Harold Cliff, Omaha Sports Commission president. “We intend to provide athletes, families and friends the perfect swimming environment, while surpassing the attendance record we set in 2012.”
