LA 2028  ·  Aquatics at Long Beach

Where American Sport Comes Alive

Swimming is consistently one of the top three most-watched events at the Summer Games in the United States. The combination of American dominance, short heats that build through the session, and the drama of relay finishes makes it one of the most consistent draws in the entire program. At LA 2028, that takes place at the LA Aquatics Center in Long Beach — a venue being purpose-built for the Games.

The 100m freestyle final. The butterfly. The backstroke. The 4x100m relay. Each of those finals sessions will sell out early and draw the loudest crowds in the aquatics program. For groups making the trip from Austin, swimming offers something track and field does not — multiple finals spread across eight days, which makes it easier to build a multi-session package around the events that matter most to your group.

The Most Requested Swimming Sessions

Evening finals sessions are where the program comes alive. These are the events that drive most swimming package requests — the complete schedule will be confirmed as LA 2028 releases the official aquatics program.

Freestyle Finals Highest Demand
100m Freestyle Final
The marquee swimming event. Men’s and Women’s 100m freestyle finals are the sessions most associated with US gold-medal runs and the loudest atmospheres in the aquatics program.
Inquire early. Moves fast.
Relay Finals Highest Demand
4×100m & 4×200m Freestyle Relay Finals
The relay finals are routinely the loudest sessions in the aquatics program. National identity, team strategy, and split times that shift the lead three times in a single race. The 4x100m is typically the closing event of the session it sits in.
Often session closers — high energy throughout
Butterfly Finals High Demand
100m Butterfly Final
Historically one of the most dramatic individual swimming events. The US has produced multiple gold medalists in this event, making it a consistent domestic draw at every Games.
Packages available
Backstroke Finals Strong Demand
100m & 200m Backstroke Finals
Strong US contenders across both distances make these sessions natural draws for domestic audiences. Evening sessions with multiple finals running on the same card deliver full-session value.
Packages available
Individual Medley Strong Demand
200m & 400m Individual Medley Finals
The IM is the most complete swimming event — four strokes, four disciplines, one race. The 400m IM final in particular is considered the full measure of an elite swimmer’s ability across the entire pool.
Packages available
Distance Events Full Session Value
800m & 1500m Freestyle Finals
The endurance events of the pool program. Finals sessions featuring the 800m and 1500m offer a different kind of tension — pacing, turns, and a final 50m that consistently delivers close finishes.

Who This Is For

Built for Groups Who Want to Be There

Swimming draws one of the broadest audiences at the Summer Games. These are the groups Xenia builds packages for most often.

US Supporters

Following American swimmers through the program. Evening finals sessions with US contenders in the 100m freestyle, butterfly, and relay events draw the most passionate domestic crowds.

Multi-Session Attendees

Swimming runs eight days of finals, which makes it the most flexible sport for building a multi-session package. Two or three evening sessions can be spread across the full program without schedule conflicts.

Corporate Groups

An evening swimming finals session is one of the most consistently engaging sports events in the Games program. Works for guests who follow the sport closely and those who don’t. The format is immediate, sessions are short, and outcomes are unmistakable.

Families

Swimming is one of the most family-friendly events in the program. Short races, clear outcomes, and an indoor venue make it easy to attend with children of any age. A natural first Summer Games experience.

First-Time Summer Games Attendees

Swimming finals sessions produce some of the highest-energy atmospheres at the Games. Eight days of competition, multiple finals per evening, and American contenders across nearly every event make it one of the strongest packages on the calendar.

Long Beach Area Stays

Groups based in Long Beach for beach volleyball or boxing can add swimming finals without changing hotels. The aquatics center is a natural same-area add-on for any Long Beach-anchored itinerary.
