Though there continues to be debate over the late start for swimming finals<\/a> at next year\u2019s Olympic Games, fans around the world can now begin to order their tickets to watch the best athletes in the world compete for swimming\u2019s ultimate prize.<\/p>\n

The organizers of the 2016 Rio Olympics are accepting applications for the second wave of ticket availability to the general public on their official website<\/a>. The process allows you to pick which of the 16 prelims and finals swimming sessions you would like to attend and where you would like to sit in the venue. Tickets for all Olympic sports are available on the website at varying costs and availability. With swimming among the top Summer Olympic sports, ticket demand is extremely high. Prices per session per person range from 260 Brazilian Reals (US$85) to 900 Brazilian Reals (US$296).<\/p>\n

Once the process is complete, you\u2019ll be entered in a general pool of other fans hoping to get tickets to what is always one of the most popular sports in the Summer Olympics. According to organizers, those who are picked for tickets will be contacted this July. Ordering ends April 30.<\/p>\n

The first ticket draw was open only to residents of Brazil, and those tickets were just recently awarded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
