Where are the Swimmers Representing Team USA At the 2024 Olympics From?

By Sophie Kaufman on SwimSwam

Any time a swimmer from Indiana was announced at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials in Lucas Oil Stadium, they were greeted with a huge cheer from their home state crowd.

The Indiana fans had a lot to cheer about–lots more than just their swimmers stepping up to the blocks. Based on swimmers’ listed hometowns, Indiana put more swimmers than any other state on the U.S. Olympic team. Six swimmers call Indiana home: Drew Kibler, Lilly King, Blake Pieroni, Aaron Shackell, Alex Shackell, and Luke Whitlock.

Note: Hometown data collected from USA Swimming and Team USA where available, or swimmer’s college roster as of 6.28.24
Five of the six Indiana natives still train in-state. And while the Hoosier state would lose Kibler if this map was arranged by training site rather than home state, they’d also gain swimmers like Anna Peplowski, Mariah Denigan, and Josh Matheny, who train at Indiana University with King and Pieroni.

In all, swimmers from 23 different states will represent the U.S. in Paris. The majority of those states (13) put multiple swimmers on the team, while ten are sending a sole representative.

The map includes both pool and open water swimmers. Katie Grimes would appear on the list either way as she’s qualified for both pool and open water swimming, but adding the open water swimmers gives Kentucky their sole representative this year (Denigan) and Pennsylvania a third representative in Ivan Puskovitch.

Behind Indiana’s six swimmers, Maryland and Florida are tied for second highest number of swimmers on the roster. Both states have four swimmers each. Erin Gemmell is the only first time Olympian from either state. Maryland’s Katie Ledecky, Phoebe Bacon, Chase Kalisz and Florida’s Caeleb Dressel, Bobby Finke, Ryan Murphyand Emma Weyant have already been to at least one Olympic Games.
