2025 WORLD AQUATICS SWIMMING WORLD CUP – Toronto
October 23-25, 2025 Toronto, Canada SCM (25 meters) Meet Central Psych Sheets Live Results Recaps Prelims: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 Finals: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3With the conclusion of the World Cup this week in Toronto, we saw numerous stars saving their best for last. We had eight World Records in total at the final stop, and there were some fantastic performances behind them that may have slipped beneath the radar.
Mitchell Schott– 200 free/400 free/200 fly
Mitchell Schott was a star for Team USA at the World University Games this summer, throwing down swims of 1:46.06 in the 200 free and 1:58.25 in the 200 IM, and showed out in the smaller pool this week. He had three top-eight finishes, the highlight coming in the 200 fly where he placed 3rd.
He was 1:52.10 in that swim to set a new best time, and also placed 7th in the 400 free (3:41.79) and 200 free (1:42.64, 1:42.50 in prelims).
This was the Princeton swimmer’s first meet of 2025-26, and heading into the Ivy League dual meet season he looks primed to make some serious noise.
Chris Guiliano – 200 free
Chris Giuliano may not have quite been able to prevent Luke Hobson winning the Triple Crown in the 200 free, but he blew away his previous performances in the event as he gave his utmost to the task. After swimming 1:40.19 in the heats for a huge best time that ranks him 7th in history, he was 1:40.39 in the final for 2nd.
Both of those are top-15 swims all-time, and Giuliano showed himself a three-event threat with podiums in the 50 free and 100 free across this World Cup.
Matt Richards – 50 fly
Matt Richards didn’t land on the podium in either of his favoured freestyle events in Toronto, but did set a brand new Welsh record in prelims of the 50 fly. He notched a time of 22.70, taking two tenths off the mark he set in Westmont a week ago.
He was just off that time in the final, swimming 22.73 for 7th, but a foray into fly raises some interesting questions for the British teams’ medley relay. Ed Mildred swam the fly in Singapore this summer, splitting 51.02, but the spot is still open for applicants.
Henrietta Fangli – 50 breast/100 breast
While Hubert Kos captured most of our Hungarian-adjacent attention, his teammate Henrietta Fangli set a trio of national records in breaststroke in Toronto.
She broke her 100 breast record in both heats and finals, clocking 1:05.00 in the heats and 1:04.67 for 5th in the final, both under her previous best of 1:05.09, and then set a new standard of 30.21 in the 50 breast in a swim-off with Sienna Harbin.
Fangli, who swims for Houston in the NCAA and was an ‘A’ finalist in the 100 breast last March, could be the breaststroker Hungary needs for its medley relay team. There could be even more to come at the European Short Course Championships in just over a months time
Gabe Jett – 50 back/100 back
Gabe Jett made his name in the NCAA as a mid-distance freestyler and flyer, and those were also the events where he first broke out in long course, notching a 1:54-point 200 fly in 2022. However, by the end of his college tenure with Cal his Day 4 event was no longer the 200 fly, instead swimming the 200 back where he placed 3rd – one spot ahead of the at-the-time SCM French Record Holder Mewen Tomac.
He didn’t swim the 200 back here in Toronto, he delivered times of 23.25 in the 50 and 50.07 in the 100, ranking him 14th and 9th, respectively, on the all-time lists for the U.S. men.
His major international breakout in the big pool came in the 200 free this summer, where he clocked 1:44.70, but his backstroke has translated over from yards to SCM rather successfully.
Tzen Wei Teong – 50 fly
Third time was the charm for Tzen Wei Teong in the 50 fly as he cracked his National Record with a swim of 21.93 in the final of the 50 fly in Toronto, leapfrogging Sun Jiajun and Chad le Clos to rank 9th all-time.
That was his third 50 fly swim of the week – “how?”, you ask – after he swam fly in his 50 free heat, touching in 22.51. That was his slowest of the three, as he swam 22.40 in the 50 fly heats before his record-setting swim.
Singapore has form with sprint fly, Joseph Schooling winning Olympic gold in the 100 in 2016 and World bronze a year later. Teong is yet to win a world-level medal, but has potential to add to his Commonwealth medal tally in Glasgow next summer.
Lamar Taylor – 50 free/100 back
Lamar Taylor continued his hot streak at the World Cup with another three Bahamian Records in Toronto. He kicked things off on Thursday with a 5th-place finish in the 50 free, swimming 21.00 to knock 0.08 seconds off his previous best of 21.08 from the morning. His previous record of 21.44 was set just six days prior in Westmont.
He then dipped below 52 seconds in the 100 back on the final day, notching 51.99 to place 13th in the heats. That marked the sixth record of the series for the former Henderson State and Tennessee swimmer: three in the 50 free, two in the 100 back and one in the 100 IM.
Tomoyuki Matsushita – 200 back/200 IM/400IM
Tomoyuki Matsushita may have been disqualified in the 400 IM after placing 2nd, but if we imagine ourselves in a world where that wasn’t the case then the Japanese 20-year-old would have thrown down a 1:51.43/3:56.66 200IM/400IM combo this week, slotting himself in at #14 and #5 in history in the process.
He has placed 2nd to Leon Marchand at the last two major long course championships, but after stating that he was disappointed in his time at the Singapore World championships this summer he dropped over a second just over a month later, going 4:07.21.
Matsushita also threw down a 1:50.53 in the 200 back on day 1, and rounded into fine form in Toronto. Pencil him in as the 400 IM favorite at Pan Pacs next summer.
Finlay Knox – 100 IM/200 IM/100 back
Finlay Knox was another Canadian swimmer who saved his best for last at the World Cup. Focusing on the IM events he has become known for, he was right on his best time in both the 100 IM and 200 IM, taking 4th and 3rd respectively for his highest finish of the series.
He was 51.05 in the 100 IM on the first day, lowering his best of 51.10 from 2022 and matching Javier Acevedo’s Canadian record. In the 200 IM the next day he swam his 3rd fastest swim ever, going 1:51.50.
His 100 back on the final day was near his best time, as he notched 50.02 to sit just 0.01 seconds behind his time from last week.
Mio Narita – 400 IM
Narita became the 26th-fastest woman in history in the SCM 400 IM thanks to the 4:26.43 she swam for 3rd here in Toronto, slicing well over three seconds from her previous best of 4:29.70 set in 2022. She showed fantastic speed across all four strokes, the pick of the bunch probably being the 1:15.0 she split on the breaststroke leg.
She is now the #2 Japanese woman all-time, jumping up from her previous position of 6th. After taking silver in the event in Singapore this summer, she looks a threat for the podium at the Pan Pacific Games next summer if this form continues
Marrit Steenbergen – 100 IM/50 free/100 free
Steenbergen set a brand new Dutch Record in the 100 IM on Day 1, moving up to #7 all-time as she took 2nd behind Gretchen Walsh, and added another pair of best times in the sprint freestyle events.
She shaved 0.15 seconds from her 100 free best, moving up a spot to #11 all-time, and finally cracked 24 seconds in the 50 free to go 23.77, after swimming 24.0 on four occasions over the last two weeks. The 100 free World Champion looks in great form heading into the European Short Course Championships in December.
Ksawery Masiuk – 100 fly
Ksawery Masiuk broke onto the scene in backstroke, taking bronze in the 50 at the 2022 long course World Championships, but has shown some serious fly speed over the last few months. He qualified for the Singapore World Championships after swimming 51.73 in long course back in April, and dipped below 50 seconds in short course for the first time tonight.
His swim of 49.84 placed him 4th and marked the 11th-fastest swim in Polish history. He now sits just 0.66 seconds off Marcin Cieslak’s national record.
Mollie O’Callaghan – 50 back
Her freestyle exploits this week were front and center, but O’Callaghan opted for the 50 back over the 50 free on Day 1. She set a brand new best time, coming within seven hundredths of winner Kaylee McKeown in a time of 25.42.
That would have been a World Record as recently as four years ago, yet placed her 3rd behind McKeown and Gretchen Walsh. Still, she closed the gap to Walsh in the all-time rankings to just 0.05 seconds, and had the 9th-fastest performance in history.
Kayla Sanchez – 50 back/100 IM/50 free
Kayla Sanchez switched to representing the Philippines in July 2023, and notched a trio of Philippine records this week in the 50 free, 50 back, and 100 IM.
The first of those was a race in which we saw the Canadian Record, formerly held by Sanchez, taken down by Taylor Ruck. Just half a second later Sanchez claimed a record of her own, swimming 23.97 to come within three-tenths of her best time.
Her 50 back (26.55) and 100 IM (58.97) records came on Day 1, and she is a former Canadian Record holder in the second of those as well, with her best of 57.80 from 2018.
