Below, watch a video via USA Swimming on Facebook of the U.S. World Championship team practicing at their training camp in Opatija, Croatia. They went live on Monday morning, with about three and a half minutes of practice footage.
The team began training camp on July 12th, and will travel to Budapest tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, with the World Championships set to get underway Sunday the 23rd.
Check out some of their Instagram posts from the trip here.
USA Swimming made a few posts of their own signifying the end of training camp.
Among the key events for the Americans on the opening day are both men’s and women’s 400 free relays, the women’s 400 free where defending champ Katie Ledecky and Olympic bronze medalist Leah Smith have a great shot to go 1-2, and the final of the men’s 400 free where Clark Smith and Zane Grothe will have their first Long Course World Championship swims.
Literally all of them are insane at kicking… take note

Please declare yourself and tell us who you are.
Ashley Twichell just won the 5 K open water this morning to give them a boost – just saw the last 800 meter of the race .
Go Team USA! Safe travels to Budapest tomorrow.
I liked seeing the one girl kicking who pulled on the lane lane before her turn!
That would totally be me!
It looked to me like Bethany Galat was working harder than Lilly King. Just saying
I wish my breaststroke turnover was half that quick.
Go TeAM USA
I always wanted to see a training camp video where one lane would have to be reserved for community open swim, and you would have that one 90 year old man that takes 7 minutes to do one lap of breastroke
That’s Adam Peaty. Probably.
