At the conclusion of the 2022 Short Course World Championships, Canadian swimmer Maggie MacNeil walks away with $86,250 U.S. dollars worth of prize money—more than twice as much as the next-highest-earning swimmer. $50,000 worth of that prize money comes from the world records she broke in the 50 back and 100 fly, as each world record broken is a $25,000 bonus. Another $30,000 comes from winning golds in the 50 fly, 50 back, and 100 fly, as each gold medal is worth $10,000 each. The other $6,250 of MacNeil’s earnings comes from the two bronze medals she won from being a part of Canada’s 4×100 free and medley relay.
The highest-earning male swimmer and the second highest-earning swimmer overall is America’s Ryan Murphy, who amassed a total of $49,500. $30,000 of that comes from his three individual titles in the 50 back, 100 back, and 200 back. Another $12,500 comes from being apart of two world-record-breaking relays: the mixed 4×50 medley relay and the men’s 4×100 medley relay.
Overall, nine swimmers earned over $40k in prize earnings, with the rest of them (aside from MacNeil and Murphy) being Nic Fink ($47,500), Torri Huske ($47,000), Kate Douglass ($44,000), Emma McKeon ($43,500), Mollie O’Callaghan ($43,250), Claire Curzan ($43,250), and Ruta Meilutyte ($43,000). Notably, MacNeil and Meilutyte were the only two $40k+ earners that didn’t come from the United States or Australia.
According to World Aquatics, formerly known as FINA, there was a total prize pool of $2.54 million U.S. dollars up for grabs throughout the Championships, with the following distribution breakdown for individual events:
PLACE | PRIZE MONEY AMOUNT (USD) |
1st place | $10,000 |
2nd place | $8,000 |
3rd place | $7,000 |
4th place | $6,000 |
5th place | $5,000 |
6th place | $4,000 |
7th place | $3,000 |
8th place | $2,000 |
Total per event | $45,000 |
For relays, the total amounts given to each team remain the same, but the money is split between the four team members.
Breaking an individual or relay world record gives you a $25,000 bonus, with the bonus being split between team members for relay world records.
All the prize money winners from short course worlds are listed down below.
