Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Natalie Coughlin are among the marquee names that will be taking part in the U.S. Olympic swimming trials over the next week. Hopefuls from every corner of the country will be looking to secure a trip to London.

There will be a total of 26 event finals during the action-packed week, starting with three on opening night. As the trials in other sports have already shown, there's never a shortage of drama and tension, even for the biggest names.

A perfect example would be Brian Clay. The decathlon star failed to qualify for the Olympics after stumbling during the hurdles. He won gold in Beijing, but won't be able to defend in London. Every swimmer should see that as a cautionary tale heading into the trials.

It's also a chance for everybody to test their current form. The start of the the games are just a month away, so now's the time that athletes want to start getting close to their peak. Any setbacks would significantly damage their chances of making an impact.

All told, the swimmers taking part in all of these events have spent the past four years getting ready for this moment. Failing to make the team would be a major disappointment, but there's not enough room for everybody. It's officially make-or-break time.

Here's a look at all the key information for the swimming trials, including a complete event schedule and full television guide.
