2025 U.S. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Tuesday, June 3 – Saturday, June 7, 2025 Indianapolis, Indiana Indiana University Natatorium LCM (50 meters) World Championship Selection Criteria SwimSwam Preview Index Meet Central Psych Sheets (Updated 6/02) Live Results How To Watch (USA Swimming Network)Another two* women and seven men guaranteed themselves a trip to Singapore today at the 2025 U.S. National Championships.
Claire Weinstein was already in the running for a spot on the Worlds team after finishing 2nd in the 800 free yesterday, but today she locked in her spot by beating 800 free champion Katie Ledecky in the 200 free. Claire Curzan, meanwhile, puncher ticket by overcoming American Record holder Regan Smith in the 200 back. Torri Huske, Gretchen Walsh, Katie Ledecky, and Kate Douglass all added additional events after initially qualifying yesterday.
*Additionally, Erin Gemmell and Anna Peplowski tied for 4th in the 200 free. The top four finishers in that event are guaranteed spots on the team, and while there’s a decent chance that the 5th-place finisher may get an invite as well, it looks like there may be a swim-off later on in the week between Gemmell and Peplowski. Until then, we’re not sure which one definitely has a spot on the team, unless one of two manages to qualify in another event.
Meanwhile, seven different men qualified today — Luke Hobson, Gabriel Jett, Rex Maurer, and Henry McFadden by virtue of top four finishes in the 200 free, Josh Matheny in the 200 breast, Jack Aikins in the 200 back, and Dare Rose in the 50 fly. While Hobson is the only one in that group with Olympic experience, McFadden, Matheny, and Rose all have prior World Championships experience.
Again, those are the only swimmers who are guaranteed roster spots based on today’s swims. Plenty of other swimmers put themselves in line for a Worlds roster spot by finishing 2nd (in most events) or 5th or 6th (in the 200 free). See further below for a discussion of roster limits and doubles.
While yesterday we focused on the World Championships roster, today we’ve added our projected rosters for the World Junior Championships and the World University Games. We’ve done our best to ensure they’re accurate, but it’s not always clear who is eligible for WUGs, and there’s always a chance that we’ve made a mistake somewhere along the line. Additionally, swimmers routinely turn down WUGs and Junior Worlds roster spots for a variety of reasons. All that to say, please don’t book plane tickets just because we’ve projected your favorite swimmer to make one of the teams below.
2025 U.S. World Championship Team After Day 2
Selection Criteria at a Glance
Selection priority is based on overall finish in finals. I.e., an eligible swimmer who makes the ‘A’ final takes priority over a swimmer in any other final, regardless of the time they swam in finals. Priorities Top four in 100/200 free, and best-finishing available swimmer in the other individual events. Next-best-finishing available swimmer in the individual events other than the 100 and 200 freestyles. Fifth-best-finishing available swimmers from the 100 and 200 freestyles. Sixth-best-finishing available swimmers from the 100 and 200 freestyles.Swimmers who qualified today are highlighted in bold.
Women – Guaranteed
Caroline Bricker – 200 fly Torri Huske – 100 free, 4×200 free Gretchen Walsh – 100 free, 50 fly Simone Manuel – 4×100 free relay Kate Douglass – 4×100 free relay, 200 breast, 50 fly Katie Ledecky – 800 free Claire Weinstein – 200 free, 800 free Claire Curzan – 200 backNote: Erin Gemmell or Anna Peplowski tied for 4th. As the top four swimmers in that event are included in priority #1, it appears as if a swim-off will be necessary later this to determine who gets the guaranteed spot, and who gets bumped to priority #3.
Women – Potential
Regan Smith – 200 fly, 200 back Erin Gemmell – 4×100 free (4×200 free) Anna Moesch – 4×100 free Bella Sims – 4×200 freeMen – Guaranteed

Here’s an overly-simplified version of the U.S. World Championship selection process: the team can have a maximum of 26 men and 26 women. Swimmers are added to the roster in these priorities until the roster cap is hit:
Top 4 in 100/200 frees, Winner of all other events 2nd-place finisher in all other events (besides 100/200 free) 5th-place finisher in 100/200 free 6th-place finisher in 100/200 freeFor a full breakdown of selection procedures, follow this link.
We track ‘doubles’ as a way of knowing when the next priority of swimmers can be officially added to the team. A ‘double’ is effectively a swimmer qualifying in more than one event. One swimmer qualifying in three events counts as two ‘doubles’ for our purposes.
The Magic Numbers:
12 doubles on either the men’s or women’s side means all Priority 2 athletes (2nd-place finishers) can be added for that gender 14 doubles on either the men’s or women’s side means all Priority 4 athletes (5th-place in 100/200 free) can be added for that gender 16 doubles on either the men’s or women’s side means all priority 5 athletes (6th-place in 100/200 free) can be added for that genderDoubles After Day 2
