800m free – ledecky
1500m Free – Ledecky
100m- mckewon
200m Back – Mckeown
Kaylee Mckeown gives me Tom Brady vibes an athlete I never bet against.
Mckeown down
The only individual events I can confidently predict the winner rn are men’s 200 free, 200 back, and 400 IM, and women’s 50 free, 1500 free, and 400 IM
Men’s 200 Back is honestly not a given
Men’s 200 back is uncertain.
Who do you have in men’s 200 back?
Kos it’s the weakest of my confident picks but I still don’t see a challenger at his level unless he underperforms though now that I think of it it’s prob at the same level as my slightly less confident picks (women’s 400/800 free)
He’s m’y favorite too. But il’s more uncertain than others events. His PB from last WC is 1:54.13. Three guys swam 1:54.5 this year. Gonzalez and two Américains. So…
Yes I know my swimming picks are just like my March Madness ones: straight chalk
Maybe I’m too generous in handing out World Records though
Let me know your thoughts

Not sure how easy it is, but it would be a great public service if swimswam would prepare a pro-forma psych sheet for the games. It’s bound to have a few inaccuracies, but will be hard to keep track of things otherwise.
Aside from carrying the women’s luggage from the airport terminal to the team bus and from the team bus to the hotel, what is Carol Capitani’s role at the USA Swimming training camp?
