2023 U.S. World Trials: Official SwimSwam Preview Index

2023 U.S. National Championships

  • June 27 – July 1, 2023
  • Indianapolis, IN
  • Indiana University Natatorium
  • LCM (50m)
  • Meet Central

We’re less than one month out from the marquee domestic event of the year, as the American team for the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka will be determined in four weeks’ time at the U.S. National Championships in Indiana.

Provided they’re under the World Aquatics ‘A’ cut, the top two swimmers in each individual Olympic event will qualify for the World Championship team, as will the winners of the stroke 50 events, and the top six finishers in the 100 and 200 free will qualify for relay purposes depending on roster numbers (top four will qualify automatically).

To follow along with the build-up to the meet, which will feature superstars such as Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky, keep track of our event-by-event previews with our official preview index below.

The 2023 U.S. National Championships kick off on Tuesday, June 27, and run through Saturday, July 1, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Does Caeleb Dressel even show up for the 2023 Phillips 66 National Championships?

If you are taking bets I am going to say no. The other option I’d take is he shows up but only does a partial event schedule and scratches out of the meet at some point.

The question isn’t if Michael Andrew will win a medal, but how many medals will he win.

if it’s anything over 50m i don’t think it’s likely

I’ll change my tune if Michael Andrew wins a gold medal in the M 100 BR or M 100 FL or M 200 IM. As for the 50 meter events, only the M 50 FR is contested at the Summer Olympics.

I’ll second that, except I will take any medal in the Olympics. I don’t think it should be gold or bust.

He swims like all the loser 50 (except freestyle) events so eventually they will win one.

He is king of the 50s but I’m not sure what he can win other than the 50 free. His breast is a little shaky right now.

Give the guy a break. He is ALWAYS correct with everybody everywhere. He has his own way of training and it works for him.
