At the ACC time trial today, Chris Guiliano swam a 47.49 100m freestyle. That checks in as the 5th fastest American performer of all time. US 4x100m relay in good shape heading into this summer.

In swimming, Summer McIntosh should be a heavy favourite to win the women's 400m Individual Medley. And if she doesn't swim the 800m freestyle (which seems very likely), then Ledecky should be a lock in that event too.

His time is now officially on the "Road to Paris" rankings. Being 12th in the rankings with an indoor time is wild!

Now that both the 2023 and 2024 World Championships are over, it's a good time to look at which countries are eligible for universalities. Looking at the entry lists for both championships, we can compile a rough list of which countries are eligible. The following NOC's are eligible for both a male and female universality quota (123 NOC's, 246 athletes): The following NOC's are eligible for only a male universality quota (20 NOC's, 20 athletes): The following NOC's are eligible for only a female universality quota (16 NOC's 16 athletes): So as of now, we are looking at 282 universality athletes from 159 NOC's

Ooh, this is fun. Mostly agree with your lineups. Still a few months away from trials so my opinions will probably change so in the meantime, let's have some fun. Men's 4x100 Free: Kharun (Knox) -> Gaziev -> Acevedo > Liendo Men's 4x200 Free: Gaziev -> Acevedo -> Kim -> Kharun (Wigginton) Men's 4x100 Medley: Tierney -> Dergousoff -> Kharun (Liendo) -> Liendo (Gaziev) Im listing alternates for Kharun because I'm not sure if he'll actually swim the relays or not but he should be one of the best options still. Women's 4x100 Free: McIntosh -> MacNeil -> Harvey -> Ruck Women's 4x200 Free: Harvey -> Brousseau -> Ruck (Jansen) -> McIntosh Women's 4x100 Medley: Masse -> Angus -> MacNeil -> Ruck Mixed 4x100 Medley: Tierney (Masse) -> Dergousoff -> MacNeil (Liendo)-> Ruck

Wow Clareburt!!! Foster off the podium.

Tokyo was only because of covid I believe. A lot of swimmers had trouble crossing the border or finding places to train.
