Tonight, we’ll be treated to a schedule containing the women’s 1500m free, men’s 50m breast, men’s 200m fly, women’s 100m back, as well as the men’s and women’s 400m IM main events.
START LIST
It will most likely be 17-year-old Amelie Blocksidge against the clock in the fastest heat of the women’s 1500m freestyle, as the teen tries to improve upon her ranking as the 3rd-fastest British female in history.
This morning, we saw world record holder Adam Peaty put up a strong performance to capture the 50m breast top seed as a follow-up to his head-turning outing last night in the 100m sprint.
In a one-length race where anything can happen, however, the newly-married man will be chased by the likes of Archie Goodburn, Max Morgan, Filip Nowacki and Greg Butler.
Olympic bronze medalist Luke Greenbank is trying his hand at the men’s 200m fly, situated among the medal contenders along with Ed Mildred and Duncan Scott, the latter of whom ranks as GBR’s #2 performer of all time.
Tack on the trio of women’s 100m backstrokers to the tune of Lauren Cox, Blythe Kinsman and Katie Shanahan, along with Max Litchfield and Amalie Smith in the respective men’s and women’s 400m IM and each race is billed as a must-see affair this eventing.
WOMEN’S 1500 FREE – FASTEST HEAT

As expected, 17-year-old Amelie Blocksidge added another golden piece of hardware to her already-full cabinet.
The City of Salford ace reaped gold in a time of 16:22.93, beating her competitors by nearly 10 seconds.
Abbie Roscoe was next to the wall in 16:32.58, followed by Lucy Parsons who bagged the bronze in 16:36.79.
Blocksidge’s lifetime best remains at the 16:10.04 she put on the books at the 2024 Lancashire County Championships. Although she was off that tonight, her effort cleared the 16:26.99 Commonwealth Games qualification time determined by Swim England.

31-year-old Olympic champion and world record holder Adam Peaty has proven once again that he can bounce back against the biggest odds.
The newly-married, born-again man who missed last year’s championships season ripped a monster time of 26.64 to dominate tonight’s men’s 50m breast field.
Post-race, he said that ‘I’ve given everything, but the most exciting thing is the future and that is why I wake up every day. I want to land on the podium in two years’ time [at the 2028 Olympic Games in LA].
World Junior Championships multi-gold medalist Filip Nowacki secured teh silver in 27.10, making the grade for the British European Championships squad in the process.
Max Morgan and Archie Goodburn, the latter of whom continues to battle inoperable brain tumors, touched simultaneously in 27.22 to become co-bronze medalists.
Never-say-die Peaty now ranks #2 in the world on the season, paired with his #3 time of 58.97 in the 100m breast.

The ever-versatile 28-year-old Duncan Scott ripped a powerful result of 1:54.97 to take this men’s 200m butterfly, demonstrating once again that this Olympic multi-gold medalist is one of the tenacious swimmers on the planet.
Scott of the University of Stirling split 25.66/28.50/29.85/30.96 to get to the wall ahead of Ed Mildred, the 23-year-old European Championships and Commonwealth Games multi-medalist who settled for silver just a hair behind in 1:55.03.
Luke Greenbank, the 2020 Olympic Games bronze medalist in the 200m back, rounded out the podium in 1:57.80.
As for Scott, his lifetime best rests at the 1:54.89 notched at the 2025 edition of this competition, so the mega-star was less than .10 outside that result with tonight’s stellar performance.
He now ranks 8th in the world in this event at the moment.
