Some of USA Swimming’s aces are in the water on Day 2. In the women’s 400m freestyle look for Katie Ledecky, the 19-year-old with the tenacious stroke, to make a statement in Rio as she tries to become the second swimmer ever to win three individual freestyle titles at a single Games. Keep in mind, Ledecky is also the current world record holder in the 400m freestyle.
Also being held during the afternoon session will be the heats in the men’s and women’s 100 meter backstroke competitions, the men’s 200m and women’s 400m freestyle and the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay.
