\t\t\t\t\t2026 Sacramento Pro Series<\/p>\n
Claire Weinstein<\/a> will not compete in the Sacramento Pro Series this week after she ended up in the emergency room on Monday night. She did not compete in prelims this morning of the 200 freestyle where she was the top seed coming into the meet with a 1:54.67.<\/p>\n Weinstein said on TikTok<\/a> that on Monday evening she went through the \u201cworst pain I have ever experienced. It felt like someone was crushing my brain.\u201d She also said that her body just gave up and she ended up in the emergency room. Doctors think she had an extreme migraine and on top of that, Weinstein said she was extremely dehydrated and sleep deprived. She said, \u201cI think it was just me disregarding my body and what it needed.\u201d According to her TikTok, she was excited to swim in the meet this week and is \u201cfeeling much better now.\u201d<\/p>\n Weinstein was also entered in the 400 free as the top seed (4:00.50), 800 free as the top seed (8:19.67), and 100 free as the #3 seed (53.72). This was expected to be her second meet since concluding her freshman season with Cal where she most notably swam to an NCAA title in the 500 free with a 4:30.09.<\/p>\n The 19 year old recently made the move back to the Sandpipers of Nevada and is training under her club coach Ron Aitken<\/a>. Weinstein is set to train alongside Bella Sims<\/a> again as Sims also returned<\/a> to SAND for the summer after spending this past season at Michigan. Weinstein also stated in her TikTok that she thinks the move back to the desert with the climate and altitude also contributed to her experience on Monday.<\/p>\n Weinstein represented the U.S. last summer at the 2025 World Championships, swimming to an individual bronze medal in the 200 free. She also helped the women\u2019s 4\u00d7200 free relay to silver.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
