Urlando, a 22-year-old rising senior at UGA, was confirmed for Team USA after a second-place finish in the 200-meter butterfly on Wednesday. Fink, a 30-year-old Georgia alum, will compete in the 100-meter breaststroke and 4x100 medley relay.

Kalisz, a 30-year-old Georgia alum, was named to the team Sunday in the 400-meter individual medley. He has an Olympic gold and an Olympic silver medal in the 400 IM.

Curry, 23, will compete in the 4x200 freestyle relay. The LSU swimmer competed in the 2020 Olympics.
