Coming back from long layoffs, American swimming stars Caeleb Dressel and Simone Manuel had to settle for relay spots at the Olympics on Wednesday night.

Fifteen years ago, Michael Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics wearing a high-tech swimsuit with a catchy name, the Speedo LZR Racer.

Emma McKeon won two more gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, making the Australian the first woman to earn seven medals in swimming at a single games.

Caeleb Dressel capped one of the greatest performances in Olympic history with his fourth and fifth gold medals of the Tokyo Games.

Tatjana Schoenmaker knocked off the first individual world record in swimming at the Tokyo Olympics.

Michael Phelps is now in a broadcast seat, a mere observer rather than the driving force of U.S. swimming.

The United States has won a medal in this race in every games it has competed in since 1912, claiming bronze in Tokyo.

Four-time Olympic medalist Simone Manuel was listed as the anchor leg of the U.S. 4x100m freestyle relay team after speculation of whether she would be involved in the event at all.

Simone Manuel is going back to the Olympics.
