The first stop of the 2024 Mare Nostrum Tour kicks off tomorrow in Canet-en-Roussillon, France with a wealth of international talent set to take to the pool.

As a reminder, this year’s Mare Nostrum includes the following meets:

• Canet, FRA – May 25-26
• Barcelona, ESP – May 29-30
• Monaco – June 1-2

The three-stop series is celebrating its 30th anniversary and has added another way to earn prize money to celebrate. An additional €1050 will be awarded to a swimmer to sweep an event at all three stops. (Swimmers in the 800/1500 have to participate in Monaco in at least one of the events).

Like last year, swimmers can earn money for the best World Aquatics (formerly FINA) points swim. Swimmers also earn money for placing in the top three in an event. Swim tour records earn the athletes €750.

The initial entries for Canet reveal several of last year’s contenders back in the mix, including Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden, Tomoru Honda of Japan and Siobhan Haughey of Hong Kong.

However, notable names to the tune of Michael Andrew of the United States and Cate Campbell of Australia are missing, reflecting how both nation’s Olympic Trials are coming up next month.
