We have now reached the final day of competition in the 2024 swim season. This last prelims session shouldn’t disappoint. Today’s competition starts with some 200s, and in traditional international competition fashion, we wrap it up with the medley relays.

    Day 6 Prelims Line-Up

    Women’s 200 free Men’s 200 free Women’s 200 back Men’s 200 back Women’s 4×100 medley relay Men’s 4×100 medley relay

    In the first event, the women’s 200 freestyle, Siobhan Haughey will be looking for a spot in finals to make it three straight world titles in this event. The men’s event, meanwhile, has a brand new world record holder in Luke Hobson from the 800 free relays earlier in the meet. Can Hobson back up his swim individually?

    This short course season, Regan Smith has been on a warpath in backstroke, breaking world records in all three distances at least once. This 200 backstroke could serve as her victory lap and perhaps an opportunity to set new records.

    The final individual event is the men’s 200 backstroke. Reigning Olympic gold medalist, Hungary’s Hubert Kos, has a shot to win his first short course world title. However, he’ll face competition from a slew of European talent, including top seed Lorenzo Mora.
