Swimming at the Rio Olympics 2016 will be one of the most popular events at the summer games this year. In order to properly capitalize on the sports’ popularity, the events are going to be split up into two segments (one that begins at noon and one that begins in the evening).
With the exception of the open water relay race, all of the swimming events will take place from August 6th-13th at the Olympics Aquatic Stadium in Rio.
In order to help you with your viewing schedule, we’ve broken down the races into chronological order–separating them by gender. The exact times of the individual events isn’t known.
