COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The 2022 Open Water U.S. National Team, presented by Toyota, has officially gone into effect.

The top-6 American finishers were named to the national team, giving the following individuals Open Water National Team titles:
“It’s one of my favorite parts of being a USA Swimming athlete,” Brennan Gravley said after his 10K in Florida when asked about qualifying for the U.S. Open Water National Team. “I feel like we have a lot of privileges, especially as open water swimmers.”
Top finishers in April’s Open Water National Championships 10K also put themselves in a position to qualify for the U.S. roster at the 2022 FINA Open Water World Championships, which take place June 26-30 in Budapest, Hungary.
