STAMFORD, Conn. – June 16, 2026 – Paris Olympic gold medalists Katie Ledecky and Caeleb Dressel – two of the most accomplished swimmers of all time – headline the final stop of the TYR Pro Swim Series this week from Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis, Ind., beginning this Thursday, June 18, at 6 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBCSN. NBC Sports’ live coverage continues on Friday, June 19, at 6 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBCSN.
Ledecky is the most decorated female swimmer of all time, having won 14 Olympic medals and nine gold medals, tying gymnast Larisa Latynina for the most Olympic gold medals by a woman in any sport. Her dominant longevity in the sport is nearly unparalleled, with her four consecutive 800m freestyle gold medals making her only the second swimmer after Michael Phelps to win the same individual event at four different Olympic Games. This will be Ledecky’s first competition since the Fort Lauderdale Open in May, where she won the 800m and 1500m freestyles.
This will also be nine-time Olympic gold medalist Caeleb Dressel’s first event since the Fort Lauderdale Open in May. After not competing at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships, Dressel switched coaches in the fall to former Florida coach Steve Jungbluth.
Future stars and potential U.S. Olympic LA28 medal contenders to look out for this week include 20-year-old Katie Grimes, who, at 15 years old, was the youngest member of the U.S. Olympic Team at the 2020 Tokyo Games, as well as Paris Olympic 200m individual medley silver medalist Alex Walsh. Olympic gold medalists Gretchen Walsh, Kate Douglass, Torri Huske, and Ryan Murphy are also expected to compete.
NBC Sports’ Jason Knapp will call this week’s event, joined by three-time Olympic gold medalist Rowdy Gaines and reporter Nicole Auerbach.
Indiana University Natatorium has hosted multiple Olympic Trials and national championships throughout the years. Dressel still holds the facility record for the 50m fly of 23.05 set at the 2017 national championship meet.
Later in the year, the National Championships will be held in Irvine, Calif., from July 28-Aug. 2 across NBC, Peacock, and NBCSN. The Pan Pacific Swimming Championships also return this year, with NBC Sports’ live coverage presented from Aug. 12-16, also from Irvine.
