\t\t\t\t\t2026 PRO SWIM SERIES \u2013 AUSTIN<\/p>\n
Saturday Prelims Heat Sheet<\/a><\/p>\n We have reached the final prelims session of the 2026 edition of the Pro Swim Series stop in Austin, and it promises to bring plenty more excitement to the competition.<\/p>\n The morning kicks off with the women\u2019s 100 free, which sees 16-year-old Rylee Erisman<\/a> as the top seed in the event, in with a time of 52.79. The youngster leads a stacked field, as just behind her is Olympic gold medalist Simone Manuel<\/a> and French superstars Beryl Gastaldello<\/a> and Marie Wattel<\/a>. On day two of the competition, Manuel won gold in the 50 free while Gastaldello snagged silver and Wattel took home bronze, so the three of them will certainly be tough competition for Erisman in the 100 free today. Meanwhile, Erisman took 3rd in the 200 free last night, narrowly beating out Manuel in the final.<\/p>\n The men\u2019s 100 free has no shortage of big names in the line up, with the likes of Caeleb Dressel<\/a>, Jack Alexy<\/a>, Chris Giuliano<\/a>, Maxime Grousset<\/a> and Shaine Casas<\/a> all set to take to the pool. Alexy is currently the top seed in the event, entered with the only sub-47 time in the field (46.81), but it will be a tough battle to see who makes it into the top eight.<\/p>\n The women\u2019s 200 breast has only 14 swimmers entered today, led by France\u2019s Cyrielle Duhamel<\/a> with a time of 2:28.38. She is closely followed by LSU\u2019s Grace Palmer<\/a>, who is seeded 2nd with a 2:28.92. The pair look to be the favorites for the event, as they are the only swimmers entered with times under 2:31.<\/p>\n Leon Marchand<\/a> is the clear favorite in the men\u2019s 200 breast. He is entered with a 2:05.85, making him the top seed by over four seconds. Behind him, Jack Kelly<\/a> comes in with a 2:09.90, while Denis Petrashov<\/a> is seeded 3rd with a 2:10.19.<\/p>\n The women\u2019s 200 fly is another less populated event, with only 14 swimmers on the lineup today. Regan Smith<\/a> leads the pack, in with a time of 2:03.84 to make her the top seed ahead of Lindsay Looney<\/a>\u2018s entry time of 2:07.03. Smith and Looney are the only two in the field entered with times under the 2:10 barrier.<\/p>\n Closing out this morning\u2019s session will be the men\u2019s 200 fly, which boasts Carson Foster<\/a> in the top spot heading into the race. Foster took 2nd in the 200 IM on night two and 3rd in the 200 free last night.<\/p>\n Women\u2019s 100 Freestyle \u2013 Prelims<\/p>\n World Record: 51.71 \u2013 Sarah Sjostrom, SWE (2017) Top 8 Qualifiers<\/p>\n Men\u2019s 100 Freestyle \u2013 Prelims<\/p>\n World Record: 46.40 \u2013 Pan Zhanle, CHN (2024) Top 8 Qualifiers<\/p>\n Women\u2019s 200 Breaststroke \u2013 Prelims<\/p>\n World Record: 2:17.55 \u2013 Evgeniia Chikunova, RUS (2023) Top 8 Qualifiers<\/p>\n Men\u2019s 200 Breaststroke \u2013 Prelims<\/p>\n World Record: 2:05.48 \u2013 Qin Haiyang, CHN (2023) Top 8 Qualifiers<\/p>\n Women\u2019s 200 Butterfly \u2013 Prelims<\/p>\n
