The French swimming championships are held from Sunday June 16 to Friday June 21, 2024, with? as the main issue is qualification for the Olympic Games.
It’s the moment of truth for French swimmers. A few weeks before the Paris Olympic Games, the French swimming championships take place in Chartres between Sunday June 16 and Friday June 21. This is the only opportunity for all the contenders for participation in the Games to achieve the qualifying minimums. Headlining these national championships, Leon Marchand will obviously be present in Chartres after having masterfully finished the American university championships which he won with his University of Arizona. Whoever heads the French delegation for the Games will compete in the 200m and 400m medley, as well as the 200m breaststroke and 200m butterfly.
Among the other contenders for a medal in Paris, we will notably have to follow the 100m freestyle and the performance of Maxime Grousset, world champion last year in Fukuoka in Japan. He could also compete in the 100m butterfly and the 50m freestyle. He will face on this last test Florent Manaudou, who hopes to win a fourth Olympic medal in Paris over this distance. Among the girls, Charlotte Bonnet will also have to qualify for the 200m medley and the 100m freestyle for what will be the last competition of her career.
