Omaha’s Old Mattress Factory will be transformed into the USA Swimming House during the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials June 26 through July 3rd. The USA Swimming House will be the place to be for swimming fans, friends and corporate events during the trials. Tickets are now on sale for four different themed nights at the USA Swimming House.

The first of these events is Sundae Sunday with the Olympians Sunday, June 26th. This event costs $25 (cash bar is extra) to attend and includes all you can eat ice cream along with a meet-and-greet with Olympic swimming legends. Five-time gold medalist Josh Davis and three-time Olympic medalist Whitney Hedgepeth are among the six guests for the event.

On Tuesday, June 28th, it is Breakfast for Dinner night with the Olympians. This event is $25 (cash bar is extra) and includes a meal as well as another opportunity to meet and greet with Olympic medalists. Ariana Kukors, Kim Vandenberg, and Peter Vanderkaay are scheduled to appear at this event.

If wine or beer tastings are your thing, the third event is for you. Wednesday, June 29th is a Wine & Craft Beer tasting event with a full slate of ten different Olympians scheduled to appear. For adults planning to participate, the cost is $50 that includes food. For anyone under the age of 21, the cost is $25 for just the food.

All events are scheduled from 8:30 to midnight. Tickets for the events are available now at USASwimming.org/Trials.

“We wanted to give fans a true one-of-a-kind experience with exclusive events that allow them to meet and socialize with their favorite Olympic swimming legends and each other,” USA Swimming Chief Marketing Officer Matt Farrell said via press release. “Swimming creates such a close-knit community so we wanted a place to make it easy to get together and have unique, shareable experiences.”
