Topeka swimmers get a taste of this year's Olympic games

TOPEKA (KSNT) - This week kicks off the start of the 2024 Paris Olympics and some Topeka athletes got a taste of what it's like competing at the highest level.

Howard Hunte has been the head coach of Topeka Swim Association (TSA) for seven years. In total, TSA has had six swimmers qualify for previous Olympic trials.

Back in June, Howard took a group of his swimmers to watch the Olympic trials in Indianapolis, Indiana. He tells 27 News how this was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
