Welcome to the first finals session of the 2026 Pro Swim Series stop in Austin. Not only is this the first finals session of the series, but it is also the first time swimming fans will get to see the newly introduced semifinals in action.
Tonight’s events will start with the fastest heats of the men’s and women’s 1500 freestyle. Katie Ledecky is the clear favorite on the women’s side, coming in seeded more than a minute faster than the rest of the field after the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seeds scratched the event this morning.
On the men’s side, Bobby Finke is the top seed, but he faces a tight challenge in the form of Ireland’s Daniel Wiffen, the Olympic bronze medalist in the event.
That race will be followed by the first semifinal of the meet, the 50 freestyle. Beryl Gastaldello and Simone Manuel are the top two seeds out of prelims, with Gastaldello earning the top spot by just over two tenths. The men’s race sees Brooks Curry and Maxime Grousset in the top spots, separated by just seven hundredths. The top eight swimmers will advance to tomorrow’s final, where they will all have the chance to vie for the $3,000 event winner bonus.
That will be followed by the 100 breaststroke finals. The women’s event will see 17-year-old Caprie Moreno swim the ‘B’ final in a lane by herself while reigning World Champion Anna Elendt holds the top seed in the ‘A’ final. Van Mathias holds the top spot on the men’s side by about a second over Denis Petrashov.
We will see our 2nd semifinal of the session in the 200 IM where World Record holders Summer McIntosh and Leon Marchand are the 2nd and 3rd seeds respectively after scratches, both coming in more than 10 seconds slower than their World Record times in the prelims. Teagan O’Dell and Carson Foster are the top women’s and men’s seeds.
The evening will wrap up with the 100 backstroke finals, which have the makings to be the most exciting swims of the session.
Regan Smith and Rylee Erisman lead the women’s event with Erisman coming in less than two tenths back of the World Record holder Smith, pointing to a potential upset tonight. The men’s race sees Frenchman Mewen Tomac as the top seed in 55.48, just five hundredths ahead of countrymate Yohann Ndoye Brouard‘s 55.53. Mathys Chouchaoui, also from France, is the 3rd seed in 55.78, just two tenths back.
