2026 PRO SWIM SERIES – AUSTIN
The first day of star-studded action has concluded from the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin for the first Pro Swim Series of the new year.
Highlighting the evening was Katie Ledecky storming to the #2 1500 freestyle swim in history. Bobby Finke toppled Daniel Wiffen in the men’s 1500 free in a battle of Olympic Champions. Summer McIntosh earned the top seed for Thursday night’s 200 IM final with her dominating semifinal swim. Leon Marchand followed suit in earning the top seed by less than a tenth of a second over Kieran Smith. And Regan Smith clocked another sub 58 second 100 back en route to a Pro Series victory.
