2025 U.S. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

After five days of racing, it looks like 20 women and 26 men will represent Team USA in the pool at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore.

We’re aware that the roster that was announced in person at the end of competition didn’t include a number of male swimmers that we’ve included below, but we’re going to go ahead and publish our projections, and we’ll update later and try to provide explanations if the final official roster is different.

The women didn’t have any problems bumping up against the 26 swimmer roster cap, and they’re fitting to send a strong and experienced roster. We do expect some event lineup reshuffling, especially in the 200 free, where Katie Ledecky is expected to forego the 200 freestyle, and Torri Huske, who is next in line for a spot, is expected to do the same.

We had a couple surprises during the last two races for the men. First, Bobby Finke was the only man to clear the FINA ‘A’ standard in the 800 freestyle. We couldn’t find any other swimmer who made finals and had been under the ‘A’ cut during the qualifying period (dating back to March 2024), then it appears that Finke will be the only swimmer to represent the USA in that event. Second, a decade after he switched his sporting citizen from the US to Canada, Santo Condorelli touched 2nd in the 50 free, securing a roster spot. However, the US men were already at the roster cap max of 26, meaning that Kieran Smith, a mid-distance stalwart for the USA over the last few years, won’t make the team based on his 6th-place finish in the 200 freestyle.

Note: this is our best projection of what the roster may look like, based on the results and selection criteria. We’ve done our best to stay on top of a lot of moving pieces, but if you think we’re missing someone or an event on the list below, kindly let us know in the comments and we’ll make the fix if necessary.

Roster By Name

Women

  1. Phoebe Bacon – 200 IM
  2. Katharine Berkoff – 50 back, 100 back
  3. Caroline Bricker – 200 fly
  4. Claire Curzan – 200 back
  5. Kate Douglass – 4×100 free relay, 200 breast, 50 fly, 100 breast
  6. Erin Gemmell – 4×100 free, 4×200 free
  7. Katie Grimes – 400 IM
  8. Torri Huske – 100 free, 4×200 free, 100 fly, 50 free
  9. Lilly King – 50 breast, 100 breast
  10. Katie Ledecky – 800 free, 200 free, 400 free, 1500 free
  11.  Simone Manuel – 4×100 free relay
  12. Anna Moesch – 4×100 free
  13. Anna Peplowski – 4×200 free
  14. McKenzie Siroky – 50 breast

  20. Alex Walsh – 200 breast, 200 IM

*The University of Texas women’s swimming social media has indicated that Jillian Cox is on the Worlds team for the 1500 free. Assuming that’s accurate — and it certainly makes sense — presumably Weinstein opted to pare down her schedule by dropping the 1500, allowing Cox to take the second spot behind Ledecky.

With K.Smith missing out to roster limits and Foster’s busy schedule, I think there’s a good chance we might see Mijatovic in prelims of the 4x 200.

Ledecky isn’t swimming the 4×200?

Top 2 for the 100m free and 200m free are just listed for the individual event. Anyone who finishes 3rd-6th and qualifies foe the team are listed for the relay.

Maxine Parker had an amazing meet, with a couple lifetime bests. I hope she goes to WUGs and ends her career on a high note

A meet where both Bacon and Curzan qualify is an unforeseen and exciting thing! So happy for Cox and Sims too.

I think the list omits Rex Maurer in the 800FR.

He didn’t hit the A standard (and hasn’t at any other meet) so he can’t be entered as the 2nd swimmer.

Why was Jillian Cox so sad in the award ceremony? She had the biggest frown i thought she was going to break down.

She placed 3rd (normally missing the team but Claire dropped this event) for the 4th time in a row.

She’s got 3rd again…. Brutal to have to go up on the podium when you’re not selected.
