Much has been made of all the newcomers on the U.S. Olympic swimming team.

But really, the makeup of the team is not that much different than four years ago.

In 2012, the Americans had 28 first-time Olympians in London. This time, 30 rookies will be heading to Rio.

National team director Frank Busch says the issue was probably more striking at these trials because several top-name swimmers missed out in the events they swam four years ago.
