Coming back from long layoffs, American swimming stars Caeleb Dressel and Simone Manuel had to settle for relay spots at the Olympics on Wednesday night.

Fifteen years ago, Michael Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics wearing a high-tech swimsuit with a catchy name, the Speedo LZR Racer.

Emma McKeon won two more gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, making the Australian the first woman to earn seven medals in swimming at a single Games.

Caeleb Dressel capped one of the greatest performances in Olympic history with his fourth and fifth gold medals of the Tokyo Games.

Michael Phelps is now in a broadcast seat, a mere observer rather than the driving force of U.S. swimming.

Simone Manuel is going back to the Olympics.
