Dressel won five gold medals at Tokyo Games and is set to compete in the 50m and 100m freestyle events as well as the 100m butterfly.

Smith was a silver medalist in Tokyo Games and is expected to make a strong showing in multiple events.

Douglass was third place in Tokyo Games but has been performing well leading up to this event.

Murphy won two gold medals at Tokyo Games but was injured earlier this year.

Foster had an impressive showing at NCAA championships but has yet to reach his full potential.
