Thursday brings plenty of action in the pool as men's and women's swimming continues as part of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
There are plenty of notable names to watch for, but perhaps none greater than Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky, who have both already taken home plenty of gold already.
Phelps will take part in the 100m butterfly at 1:15 p.m. ET and he'll also take part in the 200m individual medley at 10:01 p.m. ET. Ledecky, meanwhile, will take part in the 800m freestyle at 12:26 p.m. ET.
Ledecky won gold in the 200m freestyle on Wednesday, but admitted it wasn't without issues.
"I did come pretty close to throwing up during that last 50," Ledecky said, according to USA Today Sports. "I knew I just needed to get my hand on the wall and be done. Everything was hurting. ... I just had to dig deep and do my own thing. I had no idea whether I touched first. ... I was done when I touched the wall. I knew I'd given it everything I had to."
