• Rachel Bootsma will be competing in the 100 meter backstroke.
• Anthony Ervin will be on the men's 50 meter freestyle team.
• Jessica Hardy competes in three races: The women's 50 and 100 meter freestyle as well as the 400 meter free relay.
• Caitlin Leverenz will be a contender in both the 200 and 400 meter IM.
• Dana Vollmer participates in the 100 meter butterfly and the 800 meter freestyle relay.
• One of the most decorated Olympic women's swimmers ever, Coughlin will be a member of the women's 400 meter freestyle relay.
