“We are excited to welcome the 2024 National Select Camp athletes and their coaches to the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center this January,” USA Swimming Managing Director of Sport Development Joel Shinofield said. “As these athletes set their sights on LA 2028, we look forward to seeing them follow in the footsteps of Olympians who attended this camp, including Bobby Finke, Carson Foster, Lilly King, Katie Ledecky, and Gretchen Walsh. The home coaches track provides a unique opportunity for club coaches across the country, allowing them to connect, learn, and grow. Success requires hard work by athletes and coaches, and we aim to support both as they strive to reach their goals.”

In addition to on-site training, swimmers will learn about post-race recovery, drug and supplement rules, psychological training skills, nutrition, race strategy, and more.
