2026 CHINA SWIMMING OPEN & NATIONAL SPRING SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS
March 19th – March 22nd Longgang Universiade Center Natatorium LCM (50m)The 2026 China Swimming Open & National Spring Swimming Championships are slated for next month and, for the first time, a plethora of international talent is set to compete at the Longgang Unversiade Center Nataroium.
According to Asian media, the event, organized by the Swimming Management Center of the General Administration of Sport of China and the China Swimming Association, will bring together China’s leading swimmers and emerging talents, with 17 Olympic and World Championship medalists confirmed to compete.
Non-Chinese athletes reportedly confirmed to participate thus far include the following:
Jack Alexy (USA) Thomas Ceccon (ITA) Kyle Chalmers (AUS) Kate Douglass (USA) Noe Ponti (SUI) Regan Smith (USA) Alex Walsh (USA) Gretchen Walsh (USA)
That means we may see some potentially high-octane matchups, including a men’s 100m freestyle brawl among World Record holder Pan Zhanle of the host nation, multi-Olympic medalist Kyle Chalmers of Australia and two-time Olympic relay medalist Jack Alexy of the United States.
We’ll see what 13-year-old Chinese prodigy Yu Zidi can put up against the likes of Americans Kate Douglass and Alex Walsh in the IM events, depending on what the teen enters.
Bottom line, the influence of foreign talent makes this competition more of a ‘must-see ‘ event as a stepping stone along the long path to the 2028 Olympic Games.
