July 27 – August 3, 2025 (pool swimming) Singapore, Singapore World Aquatics Championships Arena LCM (50m) Meet Central How To Watch SwimSwam Preview Index Entry Book Live Results Live Recaps Prelims: Day 1 Finals: Day 1Happy Monday, everyone! It’s time for the second session of finals at the 2025 World Aquatic Championships in Singapore. There are no relays tonight, but it’s still an action-packed evening with four medal rounds and four semifinals.
Order Of Events:
Men’s 100 breaststroke final Women’s 100 butterfly final Men’s 100 backstroke semifinals Women’s 100 breaststroke semifinals Men’s 50 butterfly final Women’s 100 backstroke semifinals Men’s 200 freestyle semifinals Women’s 200 IM finalQin Haiyang leads the way into the first final of the evening, the men’s 100 breaststroke. Qin holds about a four-tenth lead over the second seed Nicolo Martinenghi, who was reinstated after originally being disqualified. With Ludovico Viberti holding the third seed, the Italians are looking to put two onto the podium. Germany’s Lucas Matzerath rounded out the swimmers who broke 59 seconds in the semifinal.
Then, the focus shifts to the women’s 100 butterfly final. Gretchen Walsh and Roos Vanotterdijk tied for the top seed overall. Walsh notably scratched the women’s 4×100 freestyle relay final immediately after swimming 56.07 in her semifinal, presumably due to the virus affecting many of the Team USA swimmers. That’s the big question heading into the final, as a healthy Walsh is the heavy favorite in this race.
It was a battle to make the men’s 50 butterfly final, with multiple big names missing out. Maxime Grousset is the top seed after swimming a French record of 22.61 in the semifinals. He’s seeded .11 seconds ahead of short-course world record holder Noe Ponti and former world champion Ben Proud, the latter of whom swam a British record in the event. It’s a European-heavy final as Gui Caribe is the lone finalist from another continent.
The final medal round of the evening is the women’s 200 individual medley. Summer McIntosh breezed through the semifinal about 30 minutes after winning the women’s 400 freestyle. She’s on a quest for five individual gold medals at these World Championships, and she’s put herself in a strong position to grab her second tonight. Alex Walsh and Mio Narita are the second and third seeds behind her, while 12-year-old Yu Zidi qualified 7th overall.
