Open water swimming
In the men's and women's 25 km race, both held on July 23, USA Swimming recommended its athletes not compete due to "extreme temperature conditions." USA swimming said the water temperature exceeded its recommended limit and as a result, Alex Meyer and Haley Anderson withdrew from the race.

But USA Swimming said they would monitor her closely. Thompson did not complete the race. Mixed ==Swimming==
