Event Schedule
Women’s 400 IM — fastest heat Men’s 800 freestyle — fastest heat Men’s 50 backstroke Women’s 200 freestyle Men’s 200 IM Women’s 100 backstroke Men’s 50 breaststroke Women’s 50 butterfly Men’s 100 freestyle Women’s 100 breaststroke Men’s 200 butterflyWelcome to the Day 2 finals session of 2025 Swimming World Cup-Westmont. We have a number of U.S. Open Records that look ripe for the taking, with Shaine Casas potentially having the 200 IM World Record in his sights after a big best time in the 100 IM last night.
Abbie Wood will aim to kick off the session for us with a win in the 400 IM after taking gold in Carmel, though will have to hold off Mary-Sophie Harvey and Irish Record Holder Ellen Walshe.
Zalan Sarkany is the top seed in the men’s 800, but the 2024 World Short Course champion has to stay ahead off last week’s 1500 winner Sam Short. Carson Foster will be in the distance free event for the second week running, swimming out of lane 2 tonight after placing 2nd in the 1500 last Saturday.
Hubert Kos delivered the backstroke sweep in Carmel, and is 1/3 of the way to doing so again this week. He led prelims of the men’s 50 back in 22.73, three-tenths of a second ahead of Dylan Carter‘s 23.04, and will be tough to beat.
Mollie O’Callaghan dominated the women’s 200 free last week, and is back again here in Westmont. After soaring to #3 all-time and being faster in both her events yesterday than a week ago, her shiny new Australian and U.S. Open Records could be in danger.
Shaine Casas is the odds-on favorite in the men’s 200 IM, swimming the #2 time in history last week and with no Leon Marchand to challenge him. He scratched out of the 50 back heats to focus on this race, and after taking down his personal best in the 100 IM by more than four-tenths of a second, is in fantastic form right now. This could be the first time we see a Leon Marchand World Record broken.
Kaylee McKeown will be looking to avenge her defeat to Regan Smith in the women’s 100 backstroke last weekend, the first time the U.S. star had beaten her in an individual race since 2019. They will both need to watch out for Bella Sims though who pushed them all the way last week and was mere tenths behind.
The men’s 50 breast could be a barnstormer, with last week’s podium separated by just 0.04 seconds and two of those back in the field today. With no Chris Smith, the winner in Carmel, we will have a new champion and potentially a U.S. Open record to boot.
Gretchen Walsh will go in the women’s 50 fly and aim to add a ninth swim from nine in the event faster than any other woman in history. So far she has swum the event eight times in SCM: the slowest of those is 24.37, one-hundredth faster than the #2 swimmer all-time, Therese Alshammar. Alexandria Perkins will aim to reprise her silver medal from Carmel, but Walsh should be the clear choice here.
Jack Alexy is the favorite to repeat his gold-medal finish in the men’s 100 free, three-quarters of a second ahead of #2 seed Tomas Lukminas in prelims this morning. Likewise, Kate Douglass is the top seed in the women’s 100 breast and aiming to set herself up for a Triple Crown next week.
Ilya Kharun, already a double gold-medal winner here, will hope to make it three-for-three and defend his top seed in the men’s 200 fly. Federico Burdisso, last week’s bronze medalist, was his closest challenger this morning but the Canadian looks in imperious form in Westmont.
