The eighth day of swimming events at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris are scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 3.
There are nine events scheduled throughout the day, including the men’s 100 meter butterfly final, the women’s 200 meter medley final, the women’s 800 meter freestyle final and the 4×100 meter mixed medley final, among others.
La Défense Arena’s Olympic swimming pool will host most of the events at this year’s Olympic Games, and organizers cleared the men’s and women’s triathlons to go ahead on Wednesday after water tests on the Seine River showed lower levels of bacteria. The men’s triathlon was scheduled to take place Tuesday but was postponed until Wednesday after the river failed water quality tests.
Here’s what to know about Saturday’s swimming schedule for the 2024 Olympics.
