“The meet will be streamed live in North America on ESPN+.“

I thought Canadians couldn’t access ESPN+? What will be the easiest way for us northern folks to watch?

At least I don’t have to listen to Bobby Hurley (2024 Budapest) explaining Alex Walsh’s supposed lack of experience swimming the women’s 4 x 200 yard freestyle relay. As a footnote, Alex Walsh led off the women’s 4 x 200 meter freestyle relay at the 2022 Short Course World Championships.

That is one mistake for Bobby and 10000 mistakes for Rowdy. I’m keeping track.

I don’t have cable or any streaming service that includes ESPN.

What is the easiest way to get access for NCAAs? Men and women
Anyone have any recommendations?

The easiest way is to pay for espn+ and cancel after the men’s meet. You don’t need cable for it. It’s $12 for a month. It’s either that or hope that someone restreams it on some sketchy site

It’s good you clarified for yourself and others. With ESPN or ACCN+/SECN+/etc. events, lots of folks pay for ESPN+ only to realize they still need the cable subscription.

I can’t wait for the inevitable:
1. Choppy/grainy stream 🔥
2. Delayed start to streaming the meet 😱
3. Only a still shot of the pool during prelims 🎯
