2025 U.S. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

We’re less than a month out from the marquee domestic event of the year, as the American team for the 2025 World Championships in Singapore will be determined in three weeks’ time at the U.S. National Championships.

The meet kicks off on Tuesday, June 3, and runs through Saturday, July 7, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Provided they’re under the World Aquatics ‘A’ cut, the top two swimmers in each event will qualify for the World Championship team. In the 100 and 200 freestyle, the top four finishers will automatically qualify for relays, with up to six considered, depending on roster size.

To follow along with the build-up to the meet, keep track of our event-by-event previews with our official preview index below.

There are so many blanks to fill with Fink, Murphy, Dressel, Kalisz and Fallon gone. The financial problem that forced Magic Man out of water for months doesn’t help either.

I think King wins 100 breast cause I can’t remember the last time she lost when swimming in Indianapolis

Since she’s winding down her career, I’d like to see her go out on a high.

She faces strong competition. I’m leaning towards Shackell in 200 fly. Maybe Audrey could make it in 200 back against Bacon and Curzan?

Solid predictions; Grimes is the biggest question mark on this list.

Pretty certain all the finals will be on Peacock. Prelims maybe also Peacock, but maybe just through USA Swimming App.
