One of USC's all-time greats, Lindsay Benko, will swim in the 100, 200 and 400-meter freestyles as well as the 800 free relay. Another incoming freshman has five events ahead of her.

2001 All-American Ryosuke Imai, a native of Japan, rounds out the Trojan contingent. He will swim the breaststroke.
