We’re just 3 weeks out of Olympic Trials in Omaha, and several Olympic hopefuls are using the Arena Pro Swim Series meets in Indianapolis and Santa Clara, as well as the Longhorn Elite Invite, as their final tuneup before the big meet. Because the top swimmers in the nation are spread out this weekend, we’ve put together a list of the top 5 Americans in each race across all 3 meets to compare where the swimmers are at as they head towards Trials.
We’ve also included any top 5 swims from the Tennessee Aquatics meet in Knoxville and the SwimMAC Road to Rio Meet.
This list is made up of events that were completed across all meets on day 3. For the list of top American swimmers in events completed on days 1 and 2, click here.

Thanks!
Ah ah ah, Caeleb Dressel wasn’t at any of those meets in the header, ah ah ah
Well, that’s true. But I can only make the headline so long. Had to mention the other 2 meets in the intro section.
My final predictions for team USA in Rio: Men’s team: 1.50m free: Nathan Adrian, Caeleb Dressel 2.100m free: Nathan Adrian, Caeleb Dressel + Jack Conger, Ryan Lochte, Michael Phelps, Max Rooney 3. 200m free: Conor Dwyer, Ryan Lochte + Haas, Conger, Smith, Phelps for the replay 4.400m free: Conor Jaeger, Conor Dwyer 5.1500m free: Conor Jaeger, Jordan Wilimovsky 6. 100m back: Ryan Murphy, David Plummer (this event is impossible to predict. I choose Plummer because i want to see him in the olympics team for the first time and maybe the last time of his career. He is working so hard for that. If Plummer and Grevers go 1-2, i’ll very happy because almost 100% that Murphy will get the… Read more »
I’m a little bit wrong about Men’s 200m free. MP will not swim the final so top 6 will be: Dwyer, Lochte, Haas, Rooney, Smith and Conger (if he swims, i think he will not do the double 100/200 free) or Litherland (if Conger does not swim)
Also men’s 100m free: MP and maybe Lochte will not swim the final so top 6: Adrian, Dressel, Conger (if he swims), Dwyer, Feigen, Rooney.
He might swim the preliminaries though.
Nice job. The 100 back is really hard!!!! I really want Grevers to go. I would keep an eye on Conger for the 100 fly too, and Lochte and Kalisz go 1-2 for the 400 im.
