Opatija, Croatia, is right on the coast of the Adriatic Sea.
The 2017 U.S. Worlds team will be selected following the performances from the country’s best swimmers this week in Indianapolis. IUPUI plays host to the 2017 Worlds Trials/Summer Nationals, as USA Swimming will fill out its 52-person roster to compete in Budapest.
Among the favorites to represent Team USA in Budapest are Katie Ledecky, Chase Kalisz, Simone Manuel and Nathan Adrian. Ledecky comes in with a great shot to sweep the 200 through 1500 frees, while Kalisz is the USA’s top IM’er with Phelps and Lochte both not competing at an elite level this summer. Manuel returns after winning gold in the 100 free in Rio, while Adrian is again the essential sprinter for the Americans.
