- Blake Pieroni and Anna Peplowski will automatically qualify for the Paris Games with top-four finishes in the men’s and women’s 200-meter freestyle final, respectively. The top two finishers will represent Team USA individually, while the No. 3 and No. 4 finishers would compete on the 4×200-meter freestyle relay in Paris. The Nos. 5 and 6 finishers could also qualify, but USA Swimming would not select those athletes until later in the week.
