Swimming is one of the most popular sports at the summer Olympics every four years. There's just something about watching those athletes jump in the pool and swim really fast for a few seconds that grips the average American sports fan. It's one of the most important parts of NBC's nightly broadcasts and this year is no different.

Swimming will take place at La Defense Arena where you can watch every lap online for the right price. In addition, most of the swimming events will also be carried on television. Between the men's and women's competitions there are 37 total swimming events which includes the second ever mixed 4x100 medley relay. It's nine straight days of swimming if you're into that.

The coverage will begin early in the morning the East coast and continue throughout the day on NBC, USA, Telemundo and Peacock. The schedule for the medal events as well as how you can watch them are below.

How Can You Watch Olympic Swimming?

Swimming coverage begins at 5 a.m. ET on July 27 on USA and continues on NBC throughout the day. By 3 p.m. ET on that first day they'll be awarding the first swimming medals of the Paris Olympics.

Between USA and NBC, most, if not all of the swimming heats will be shown on regular television, while every single event will be carried on Peacock. If you miss anything during the day, you can watch replays on Peacock, possibly narrated by A.I. Al Michaels or you can tune into the regular NBC Primetime broadcast which will show all the highlights. That basic schedule will continue through August 4 when the final medal races will take place.
