2025 SWEDISH GRAND PRIX
Friday, March 14th – Sunday, March 16th Stockholm, Sweden LCM (50m) Entries/ResultsThe 2025 Swedish Grand Prix took over the weekend with both junior and senior swimmers from the host nation and beyond vying for World Championships-qualifying times to book their tickets to Singapore.
Among the mix of athletes was a 57-strong group from Swim England’s Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) program. They were particularly seeking benchmarks in order to qualify for next month’s Aquatics GB Championships, the World Championships Trials meet.
Key Results
Sophie Hansson was the top women’s 50m breaststroke performer, clinching the victory in a time of 30.74.
That shimmied under the World Aquatics ‘A’ cut of 30.75 needed to add her name to the Swedish roster for this summer’s World Championships.
Olivia Klint was next to the wall in 31.42 followed by Hanna Kareinen who hit 32.27.
Hansson now ranks 5th in the world on the season.
