The network said it will broadcast the 2009 World Swimming
Championship from Rome and the 2009-11 USA Swimming National
Championships. Financial terms of the deal with USA Swimming
weren't announced. NBC already has the rights to the 2012 U.S.
Olympics swimming trials and the 2012 Summer Olympics in
London.


It will be a little less than a year between Phelps'
Olympic triumphs in Beijing and coverage of the Rome event in
July and August 2009. Phelps has said he will continue to swim
competitively through the 2012 games.
