Follow Team USA Olympic Swimmers on Instagram
By Braden Keith on SwimSwam
48 swimmers (pool + open water) will represent the U.S. at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games starting on July 27. Besides the NBC coverage of the meet and all of the coverage we’re going to do here at SwimSwam, follow the athletes’ social media accounts directly is a great way to get a deeper look into the their preparations, both in the pool and out of it, for one of the biggest meets of their life.
Every member of the US Olympic Swimming Team has an account on Instagram, with about half having Twitter accounts and about a third using TikTok.
Katie Ledecky, with 633,000 Instagram followers and 192,700 Twitter followers, has the biggest social media following, with Caeleb Dressel having the most Instagram followers at 647,000. These two ‘old bloods’ of the US team have significant followings from their results of past Olympics, as do swimmers like Simone Manuel (241,000), Ryan Murphy (200,000), and Lilly King (144,000).
Other newer members of the team, like Gretchen Walsh, have already seem a huge boost in their followings based on their results at the Olympic Trials. After her World Record swim, she gained about 20,000 new followers.
Once the Olympic machine kicks into full gear, all of these swimmers should see a boost in their followings.
We’ve done our best to track down all athletes’ social media accounts. If you’ve got a link to one we’re missing, let us know and we’ll add it!
