The Italian team is made up of veterans and rookies. Gregorio Paltrinieri, Sara Franceschi, and Margherita Panziera are the most experienced members of the team. Paltrineri has competed in four Olympic Games: London 2012, Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020 (1) and Paris 2024. Sara Franceschi and Margherita Panziera are in their third Olympic participation.

There are many freshmen, demonstrating the generational change and the strong rise of the age group categories to elite level. The youngest member of the team is Carlos D’Ambrosio, just 16 years old.

At the Tokyo Olympics, Italian swimming won seven medals: five silver and two bronze. Five of those were individual medals and two were relay medals

Gregorio Paltrinieri  men’s 800, freestyle, silver
Gregorio Paltrinieri, men’s 10km open water, bronze
Simona Quadarella women’s 800m freestyle,  bronze
Federico Burdisso men’s 200m fly, bronze
Nicolo Martinenghi 1men’s 00m breast, bronze
Men’s 4×100m freestyle relay (Thomas Ceccon, Santo Condorelli, Manuel Frigo, Alessandro Miressi, Lorenzo Zazzeri), silver
Men’s 4×100m medley relay: (Federico Burdisso, Thomas Ceccon, Stefano Di Cola , Nicolò Martinenghi, Alessandro Miressi), bronze

This tied them for the fourth-most total medals, though with none of them being gold they ranked 14th in the traditional gold-silver-bronze sort.
