ENTRIES & RESULTS
Unlike most major international meets, live results won’t be available on Omega Timing. In Paris, results will be accessible through the Olympic website here.
At the “Official Reports” tab of the swimming section, you can find everything you need before, during and after each session, from entry lists, heat sheets, results and records.
SwimSwam will be providing live results updates in our live recaps, but having the official reports link handy will be crucial for fans who want to see splits and a complete list of results for those who don’t advance out of the heats or semis.
HOW TO WATCH
Finding Olympic coverage is a bit different in every country, but the biggest sporting competition on Earth is typically found on a major broadcast network wherever you are in the world, with additional streaming options available as well.
As the marquee sport of the first week of the Games, expect swimming to be featured heavily on the main network in your country.
We’ve outlined how viewers in the United States can watch the Games here, and how those around the world can watch here.
American viewers can find finals live on the main NBC broadcast network daily at 2:30 p.m. ET, or they can alternatively stream it on either Peacock or NBC Olympics. They can also stream full prelim sessions on Peacock and NBC Olympics.
Canada will have CBC broadcasting swimming finals, Australia will have Network Nine, Great Britain will have BBC One, and the rest of Europe will have coverage provided on EuroSport. Read more here.
