2025 Pro Swim Series – Fort Lauderdale
Wednesday, April 30 – Saturday, May 3, 2025 Fort Lauderdale, Florida Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center LCM (50 meters) Meet Central Psych Sheets Live Results Live Recaps Prelims: Day 2 Finals: Day 1Day 2 Finals Heat Sheets
After an exciting first two sessions of the Ft. Lauderdale Pro Swim Series stop, we’re back to see what the third session has in store. This is the first full night of finals at the meet and we’ll see winners crowned in the women’s and men’s 100 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 50 backstroke, 200 butterfly, and 400 freestyle.
Kylie Masse swam a Canadian and Pro Swim Series record during prelims of the women’s 50 backstroke, hitting 27.13. She was just a hundredth of the U.S. Open record, which she’ll get another chance at tonight. Masse will swim out of lane four, sandwiched between American record holder Regan Smith and U.S. Open record holder Katharine Berkoff.
That will be the first of Smith’s two races tonight. Later, she’s the top seed in the women’s 200 butterfly. While she won’t face reigning Olympic champion Summer McIntosh, she will face rising U.S. national talents Alex Shackell and Audrey Derivaux.
The women’s freestyle races to open and close the session are must-watch. First, Gretchen Walsh, Torri Huske, Simone Manuel, and Kate Douglass–the members of the U.S’s Olympic silver-winning 4×100 freestyle relay–battle in the women’s 100 freestyle final. Douglass eked into the final in eighth this morning, so keep an eye out for some outside smoke. Meanwhile, Walsh swam 54.09 for the fastest qualifying time, followed closely by Huske (54.12) and potential dark horse Rylee Erisman.
Then, Katie Ledecky and Summer McIntosh go head-to-head in the women’s 400 freestyle. Even without Ariarne Titmus in the field, this is still set to be a great race between two of the greatest swimmers in the event’s history. Ledecky has already flexed her form at this meet, winning the women’s 1500 freestyle in 15:24.51, the second-fastest swim in history. She qualified first for the final (4:03.45) while McIntosh will swim next to her in lane three after a 4:06.56. McIntosh showed her distance prowess earlier this year, becoming the second woman to break 8:10 in the 800 freestyle.
The men’s races this evening do not have as many exciting head-to-heads as the women’s races do, but there’s still plenty to watch for this evening. One of the most exciting clashes should come in the men’s 50 backstroke. Hubert Kos hasn’t skipped a beat as he’s rolled off a superlative NCAA Championships performance into long-course, putting up head-turning times at the Hungarian Championships. He faces fellow Texas swimmer Shaine Casas in the 50 backstroke, who had an excellent showing at the Westmont Pro Swim Series.
The men’s 50 backstroke is the second of two races for Casas this evening. He’s also in the championship final of the men’s 100 freestyle that’s half Texas swimmers. In addition to Casas, Luke Hobson, Chris Guiliano, and Carson Foster will line up for that final.
We’ll see Hobson later in the men’s 400 freestyle, which will also feature Leon Marchand. The 400 freestyle is one of the events Marchand has on his schedule in Ft. Lauderdale that he doesn’t normally race, and he clocked a 3:52.77 this morning, securing lane seven. Kieran Smith controls the middle of the pool after a 3:49.81 prelims time. Bobby Finke, Tomas Koski, and Ryan Erisman are more names to watch in the last championship final of the session.
