2025 WORLD AQUATICS SWIMMING WORLD CUP – Westmont
October 17-19, 2025 Westmont, Illinois SCM (25 meters) Meet Central Psych Sheets Live ResultsWith Leon Marchand announcing that he would only contest one stop of the 2025 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup and with Summer McIntosh revealing that she was forced to withdraw from the finals two stops due to the same illness that caused her to withdraw from the first stop last weekend, the 2nd World Cup stop may seem a little lackluster with two of the biggest swimming stars absent.
However, with several high-profile NCAA meets occurring last weekend, several teams now find themselves with free weekends and have taken the opportunity to jump into some short course meters racing, with swimmers from Virginia, Indiana, and USC making the trip to the Chicago suburb.
Westmont Pre-Scratch Entry Lists
While the UVA pro group led by Kate Douglass, Alex Walsh and Gretchen Walsh will look to continue their winning ways, the addition of Katie Grimes, Sara Curtis and Claire Curzan (amongst others) may throw some wrenches in some triple crown plans. Grimes, a two-time Olympian, is set to take on the 200/400 free, 400 IM as well as the 200s of back and fly. A top-10 seed in all of her events, Grimes could break Great Britain’s Abbie Wood‘s chances of repeating as the 400 IM champion, as the American is not only seeded ahead of her but also is the defending SC Worlds silver medalist in the event.
After getting her second taste of yards racing last weekend, Italian National record holder and UVA swimmer, Sara Curtis, is entered in three events in the more familiar short course meters. The Italian will have a tough but not impossible chance of reaching the top of the podium as she competes against the likes of Gretchen Walsh, Kate Douglass and Regan Smith in the 50 free, 100 free and 50 back, respectively.
Coming off a strong performance against Florida last weekend and two World medals from Singapore, Curzan is entered in five events, but like Curtis, she runs into the fastest in the world as she is set to swim the 50s free, back and fly in addition to the 100 and 200 back. Curzan won’t be the only swimmer with strong results from the split-decision with Florida, as Thomas Heilman and Max Williamson will try their hand at short course meters, as will Anna Moesch, who is seeded dangerously low in the 200 free, ranked 14th, but is coming off of the fastest 200 yard free swim in October, posting a time of 1:41.42. Using SwimSwam’s time converter, Moesch SCY result would equal a SCM time of 1:52.46 which would be the third fastest, behind only Mary-Sophie Harvey and Lani Pallister. Mollie O’Callaghan won the event last weekend in a new US Open Record of 1:50.77.
It’s not just UVA that is bringing in their teams, as Indiana and USC, who locked horns last weekend, will bring strong contingents as the likes of Zalan Sarkany, Miroslav Knedla and Owen McDonald join their fellow Indiana training partners, Finley Brooks and Van Mathias. Sarkany, a native of Hungary, is the top seed in the men’s 800 free, but with no Carson Foster in the 400 free, could be in line for the distance double. His biggest challenger in that event figures to be Belgian Lucas Henveaux, who will be looking to continue his country’s momentum after compatriots Florine Gaspard and Roos Vanotterdijk rewrote the national record books last weekend.
USC’s Krzystof Chmielewski and Michal Chmielewski, along with Minna Abraham and Justina Kozan, will look to add depth to events and challenge for podium positions as the brothers are seeded 3rd and 6th, respectively, in the 200 fly, while their fellow Trojan sits as high as 5th in the 200 free.
As the table below shows all of the event winners, save Carson Foster, Chris Smith and Eneli Jefimova will make the trip to Westmont, meaning that Hubert Kos‘s chances of the triple-triple crown (sweeping all three backstroke events at all three stops) is still possible, as is Gretchen Walsh‘s 50/100 fly double crown, events upon which all eyes will be focused on as she hunts for more world record prize money.
