Olympic Swimming Key Dates

Before you start thinking about any particular sport at the Olympic Games, it’s a good idea to get your hands on the schedule, as it is easy to miss important events given the start times.

As mentioned earlier, the swimming events start on the 27th of the month, with the opening races going off at 5 AM EST.

Yes, that’s an early start for a lot of bettors, but if you are serious about wagering on Olympic Swimming, it’s a good idea to try and tune in.

The reason for that is because you have the heats in each event, the results of which decide who moves on to battle it out for medals.

The performances in these heats can well help you decide who to wager on, keeping in mind that some swimmers will do enough to qualify, saving their best for the medal event.

There is a lot of action crammed into a short space of time, with all the swimming events taking place between July 27 and August 4.

Who Is Going to Win Olympic Swimming?

With so many different swimming events, we really don’t have the time to break down every single event, but we can offer some tips that might help you decide how to wager on Olympic Swimming.

The first thing to think about is something that we already mentioned, which is to watch each of the individual heats.

If you cannot watch live, you should at least take a look at the finishing times of those heats to see which swimmers might be hot.

Another thing to consider is swimmers who participate in several different events. Winning one is no guarantee of success in others.

There is a very good chance that some are going to be strong at one different distance or style, which makes them a much better pick in one over another.

Do a little research on these athletes to get an idea of where your money might bear the most fruit.
