Swimming at the 2024 Summer Olympics gets underway Saturday, and we will ultimately see 37 gold medals handed out over the next two weeks. With established legends like Katie Ledecky and Caeleb Dressel to burgeoning young talents such as Jack Alexy, Summer McIntosh and Leon Marchand, the swimming pool in Paris will be full of stars, and you won’t want to miss a moment.

In the United States,  some games will be televised on NBC, CNBC or USA Network, while all of them will stream live on Peacock. This gives us a number of different live stream options depending on what exactly you’re looking for, so here’s a rundown on how to watch every swimming event at the 2024 Olympics.

If you want to be able to watch every race and every swimmer, then Peacock is exactly what you’re looking for. There isn’t a free trial, but it costs just $8 per month.

When it comes to swimming at the Olympics, most of races — including all medal events — will actually be televised across NBC and USA Network, so you wouldn’t miss much there if you went with cable over Peacock. However, Peacock is guaranteed to have every single race, including all of the heats, plus it has multi-view, allowing you to watch multiple sports or events at once.

It’s also beneficial to have Peacock if you want to watch other sports, as it will stream every single event live from Paris. For some of the smaller sports, in some cases it’s the only way to watch, as the coverage will be far more comprehensive than what you’ll find on TV.

As we just mentioned, cable has swimming pretty well covered at the Olympics. You’ll be able to watch most of the heats and all of the medal events on NBC and USA Network. Both of these channels are available on Fubo, YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream, all of which offer a free trial.

If you want the most coverage possible for every sport at the Olympics, then Peacock is the clear choice. But if you just want to watch swimming, or you just want to watch the medal events and biggest moments from the biggest sports, and you want to do it for free, we suggest going with one of these three live-TV streaming services.

There are likely other international live-stream options for those who are outside of the United States, but if you’re set on watching the U.S. broadcasts, you can use a virtual private network (VPN) to access one of the aforementioned streaming services from abroad.

NordVPN will work for this purpose, plus it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re feeling unsure about it. You can also check out our list of the best VPN services or the best VPN deals for some other options.
