\t\t\t\t\t2026 Speedo Fort Lauderdale Open<\/p>\n

Katie Ledecky<\/a> got things rolling in Ft Lauderdale in the most Katie Ledecky<\/a> way possible: clocking the 5th fastest time ever in the 1500 Free with a 15:25.62. Last year at this pool, Ledecky was a 15:24, which surprised many, including herself.<\/p>\n

This year, however, Ledecky was confident she\u2019d be right around this time, saying that she has carried the momentum from this meet last year into her training and racing since.
