That coincidentally ties Regan's former WR.

 

Mollie's 58.71 was very impressive as well. She's never been 58 unrested before. It'll be sad if she goes a podium worthy time (57 high?) at trials and can't swim it in Paris.

It's been a pretty slow meet tbh. Seems like many of them are training through the meet but there have still been some fast swims mixed in. I might do up a list of noteworthy swims once it's over.

Not something you see every day.

 

Olivia Peoples swam butterfly (with a flip turn) on the 3rd leg of Florida's 200 Free Relay... and split 22.2

I saw a race like that when I was a kid and was very confused. That's when I learned freestyle meant any kind of stroke.

The US women look like they're gonna be very strong in the 4x1 free this year (provided no one lays an egg again). The Aussies are gonna have to bring their best.
