2026 ACROPOLIS SWIM OPEN
Friday, May 8th – Sunday, May 10th Athens, Greece LCM (50m) Day 1 Recap Day 2 Recap Live ResultsThe 2026 Acropolis Swim Open wrapped last night from Athens, Greece, but not before 20-year-old Apostolos Siskos fired off another national record to conclude his campaign.
Racing in the final of the men’s 200m butterfly, Siskos produced a new lifetime best of 1:56.13 to dominate the field, hitting the sole time of the pack under the 2:00 barrier.
Turkish swimmer Yusuf Kuscu was next to the wall, well behind in 2:00.38, followed by Georgios Kalandros, who rounded out the podium in 2:00.43.
As for Siskos, his 1:56.13 overtook his previous lifetime best of 1:56.42 notched in the semi-finals of the event at the 2024 European Championships. There in Serbia, Siskos ultimately placed 5th in a slightly slower result of 1:56.44.
The former Greek national record stood at the 1:56.23 Stefanos Dimitriadis put on the books over a decade ago at the 2015 World Championships; therefore, Siskos sliced .10 off that previous outing to check in as the fastest man ever from his nation.
Siskos split 26.13/29.85 (55.98)/30.27/29.88 to get the job done and establish the new 1:56.13 Greek standard. He now sits just outside the list of top 25 performers in the world on the season.

This was a solid follow-up to the massive 1:54.12 200m backstroke Greek national record Siskos notched on day one to rank #1 in the world at the moment.
