Enhanced Games Announces Swimming Events and Prize Money Format; Every Competitor Earns Money ...Middle East

By Madeline Folsom on SwimSwam

The Enhanced Games are a little more than a week away, and they have announced the nine swimming events that will be contested in Las Vegas along with the prize money format for the meet.

Prize Money

Each event will have four athletes racing, and all four athletes will receive prize money.

This prize money structure means that if an athlete races only one event and finishes 4th, they would still earn $50,000. All the athletes are entered in two events, which is a minimum of $100,00

There are also “world record” bonuses for athletes who swim under the official world record time in their events. The men’s and women’s 50 freestyle events both have prizes of $1 million. The current men’s 50 free world record is 20.88 seconds, set by Cameron McEvoy earlier this year. In 2025, Enhanced Games contestant Kristian Gkolomeev swam 20.89 at the Enhanced Games showcase, which was the fastest 50 free in history at the time. He said he was two weeks into taking performance-enhancing drugs at the time.

The women’s 50 free world record stands at 23.61, set by Sarah Sjostrom in July of 2023. None of the women’s swimmers have ever been within a second of that time.

All other swimming events will feature a world record bonus of $250,000.

Events

There will be seven men’s events and two women’s events in Vegas next week. As mentioned above, each event will feature four athletes, filling the four-lane competition pool the Enhanced Games is building at Resorts World in Las Vegas.
