So usawimming isn’t streaming at all?
They’re streaming prelims & B-finals; I included that note now.
I don’t get Olympic channel from my cable provider so I am screwed? 😩
i will watching via fubo.tv is free for a week and it has the Olympic channel. they are many free trial streams that have it too.
only ( again ) available in Usa
Use a VPN
Ugh why can’t we sign a petition so they can do the whole thing 😭😭
So they’re just not showing A finals on USAswimming.com?
not even prelims – i have checked myself today ……
Prelims were streamed in the video box on the home page of USASwimming.org When they aren’t swimming it says “Live Video Coming Up” or it shows the promotional videos. Not sure yet exactly how finals will look.
I get NBCSN and the Olympic channel, but I prefer the USA Swimming live stream. I wish that USA Swimming just did the entire event. Too many commercials on NBC, and the commentator for USA Swimming is also better IMHO. USA Swimming allows a fan to get a better “feel” for the meet since everything is broadcast.
Anyone have an easy link to usaswimming for prelims live stream… I have spent thirry minutes looking for it.. Go thru this every meet…
They actually tried to make it easier – it’s the video box on the front page. It’s just hard to tell that unless it’s actually streaming. Otherwise it says video is upcoming or it’s showing promo videos. But it is the livestream – I watched it there this morning.
Anyway since last year I can’t watch the meets streamed on the USA swimming website here in France anymore. Everything is banned outside of USA. No more Grand Prix meets. No more junior and senior national championships. 😥
I remember 2014 US nationals. I could watch prelims and finals FOR FREE! I was watching live during the night and I remember Katie Ledecky’s 400 free world record and the Bieber’s song that I had promised to post in case of a record. Great memories. 🙂

Now we are in 2018 and I can just watch the race videos posted on youtube. Great progress! 😥
I watched it last year – and i remember u were not ready to pay to watch your favorite sport – so complaining wont make it up for you this year either .
So is the NBC stream for finals delayed? Or can we stream the Olympic channel thru the nbc apps? I’m confused
Yes you can steam it on the nbc sports app
Only if your cable provider carries Olympic channel
Oh, is there a big meet coming up?
I suppose that Rowdy will be the commentator….Unfortunately. His comments are all too often in the first person, and about himself.
When will he retire?
I don’t get all the Rowdy hate. I love listening to his commentating, it’s fun and exciting and gets people into the race!
To grow the sport, we have to get away from the “taped-delayed” or obscure, virtually impossible online streams. There needs to be a more concerted effort to get the sport (and this includes NCAA Championships) more live air time to as many homes as possible.
Just got a ticket for Friday’s finals (400 IM, 100 fly, 50 breast abd 50 back) and Saturday all day (400 free, 100 breast and 100 back). I wanted to get one for Sunday too but I will be on the road at that time
Okay
OK
I live in Canada and am really wanting to watch this. I just downloaded the NBC sports gold app. AN “NBC Sports App” didnt show up? WIll it be on the sport gold app
Not sure if this has been covered, Is there a way to watch the A-finals and the meet in Australia? nbc and all the american sites are typically geolocked for me.
me too
