During the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, athletes take their first plunge into the pool in Paris on Saturday, July 27 with competition concluding on Saturday, August 4. Prelims get underway at 5 a.m. ET each day, however if the live medal races are what you want to see, be sure to start watching at 2:30 p.m. ET. The one exception will be on Saturday, August 4, when the final day in the pool begins at 12:30 p.m. ET.

The two remaining open water events will be held on Thursday, August 8 and Friday, August 9. These will be must-see events as swimmers will race in the Seine River in the first point-to-point open water races at an Olympics since the first time the Games were held in Paris in 1900.
