The first full day of the 2023 Pro Swim Series in Fort Lauderdale is here. This morning will feature heats of the 100 free, 100 breast, 50 back, 200 fly, and 400 free. The women’s 400 free is notably without Katie Ledecky and Summer McIntosh, however, Leah Smith, Siobhan Haughey, and Katie Grimes should have a great race tonight in finals. Grimes won the 1500 free last night. Also of note, Regan Smith is set to swim the 400 free, so keep an eye out for her.
Brazilian distance star Guilherme Costa and American freestyle star Kieran Smith are the top two seeds in the men’s 400 free this morning. They’re both seeded with 3:43s, making them the top seeds by several seconds.
The women’s 100 free should be a great race as well, featuring Simone Manuel, Siobhan Haughey, Abbey Weitzeil, Erika Brown, and even Katie Ledecky. Weitzeil is the top seed, coming in with a 52.99, which is under the PSS Record of 53.12.
Ryan Held leads the field in the men’s 100 free, coming in with the only sub-:48 seed in the event.
Lilly King and Annie Lazor lead the women’s 100 breast field by a wide margin. King is the Pro Swim Series Record holder, having swum a 1:05.32 in 2021.
Michael Andrew and Nic Fink are set to battle in the men’s 100 breast, with both men coming in with 58-point seeds.
