The swimming competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris were held from 27 July to 9 August 2024. There were 35 swimming events in the pool and two marathon swimming events in the open water. The pool events took place from 27 July to 4 August at the Paris La Défense Arena, and the marathon swimming events took place from 8 to 9 August between Pont Alexandre III and Pont de l'Alma in the Seine river.

France's Léon Marchand won all four individual events he entered at the Games. Four world records were broken, by: Pan Zhanle in the men's 100m freestyle, Bobby Finke in the men's 1500 metre freestyle, and team United States in the women's 4 × 100 metre medley and mixed 4 × 100 metre medley relays. Some slower than expected performances contributed to media speculation that the Paris 2024 pool was slow.
