The 2022-23 U.S. National Team Rankings Through Summer Nationals

USA Swimming’s 2022-2023 National Team Roster will be named in early September, after the qualifying period concludes at the end of August.

The National Team roster consists of the top-six ranked swimmers in each individual Olympic event from the U.S. inside the qualifying period, which began on January 1, 2022, and runs until August 31, 2022.

Qualifying for the National Team gives athletes several key benefits, including access to monthly stipends, meet reimbursement, athlete health insurance, and Olympic Training Center access, among other things. Read more about the benefits here.

Carson Foster leads all swimmers with six events in which he’s currently in line to qualify for the National Team, while Katie LedeckyLeah SmithShaine Casas and Claire Curzan all have five.

Before getting into the times, it’s worth noting that relay lead-offs don’t count towards National Team status (or time trials, swim-offs, official splits). In these rankings, that altered the times from Caeleb Dressel (men’s 100 free), Ryan Held (men’s 100 free) and Claire Weinstein (women’s 200 free), though it didn’t impact their status on the team.

Here’s how things stack up with four weeks until the qualifying window closes:

Crazy to think that bella sims hasn’t put up a 200 free to make the national team cut after that relay anchor. I think we’re gonna see more from her this next year

Crazy that Ledecky would’ve won bronze in the 400 IM with her time from summer nationals. I wish she would race it on the international stage.

Wasn’t Carson Foster’s 400 free in a time trial? It doesn’t look like time trial swims are eligible for selection. Maybe it’s different because it was a time trial conducted as part of the USA Swimming Sectional meet.

Nope, you’re right. Time trials don’t count. Updated above – Finke then jumps to place #6, so no actual change in the individual athletes on the team.
