Countdown to swimming in a football stadium: five days. Check out updates from Indianapolis as the city prepares to host the 2024 US Olympic Swimming Trials.

The city has also already prepared for the event as the city features street signs named after swimmers, the Children’s Museum has a swimming twist, and the airport had a makeover to feature USA Swimming and other swimming-related decals.
