United States at the 2024 Summer Olympics in the context of "1988 Summer Olympics"

The swimming competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris were held from 27 July to 9 August 2024. There were 35 swimming events in the pool and two marathon swimming events in the open water. The pool events took place from 27 July to 4 August at the Paris La Défense Arena, and the marathon swimming events took place from 8 to 9 August between Pont Alexandre III and Pont de l'Alma in the Seine river.

France's Léon Marchand won all four individual events he entered at the Games. Four world records were broken, by: Pan Zhanle in the men's 100 m freestyle, Bobby Finke in the men's 1500 metre freestyle, and team United States in the women's 4 × 100 metre medley and mixed 4 × 100 metre medley relays. Some slower than expected performances contributed to media speculation that the Paris 2024 pool was slow.

The men's 200 metre individual medley event at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held from 1 to 2 August 2024 at Paris La Défense Arena, which was converted to a swimming pool for the swimming events.

France's Léon Marchand and China's Wang Shun were the considered the most likely to win gold and silver, respectively. Other medal contenders included the US' Carson Foster and Shaine Casas, Great Britain's Duncan Scott and Tom Dean, and Canada's Finlay Knox. All except Casas qualified for the final.

The men's 200 metre breaststroke event at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held from 30 to 31 July 2024 at Paris La Défense Arena, which was converted to a swimming pool for the swimming events.

Australian Zac Stubblety-Cook, China's Qin Haiyang and France's Léon Marchand were considered the most likely candidates to win the event, though China's Dong Zhihao, the US' Matt Fallon, and Japan’s Ippei Watanabe and Yu Hanaguruma were also in contention for medals. All except Qin and Fallon progressed through to the final.

The men's 400 metre individual medley event at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held on 28 July 2024 at Paris La Défense Arena, which was converted to a swimming pool for the swimming events.

The world record holder Léon Marchand of France was considered the most likely to win the event. He qualified for the finals with the fastest qualification time, while the US' defending Olympic champion Chase Kalisz and Australia's defending Olympic bronze medallist Brendon Smith both failed to qualify for the finals. In the first round, Germany's Cedric Büssing swam a time of 4:11.52 to break his country's national record.
