The opening day of the 2026 Pro Swim Series stop in Westmont gets underway this morning with preliminary heats in the men’s and women’s 200 back, 50 fly, 200 breast and 100 free.

Later in the day, prior to finals, we’ll see timed final heats of the women’s 800 free (other than the fastest heat) alternate with preliminary heats of the men’s 800.

The men’s 800 free, along with the eight 100-meter races, will be the “super events” at this leg of the series, offering increased prize money and more opportunities to swim. The men’s 800 will be raced as prelims/finals, while all the 100s will feature semis and finals.
