Following the January 2021 announcement that the U.S. Olympic Trials \u2013 Swimming would be split into two events<\/a>, with Wave I on June 4-7, 2021 and Wave II on June 13-20, 2021, USA Swimming, the Omaha Sports Commission and the host venue have been working diligently to plan for the rescheduled event at the CHI Health Center in Omaha.<\/p>\n
