IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT EVERYONE IS DOPING! I GET A PEPTIDE YOU GET A PEPTIDE WE’RE ALL TAKING PEPTIDES. THE GOVERNMENT IS PUMPING TESTOSTERONE INTO THE TAP WATER. THEY’RE CLOUD SEEDING TMZ. IRON IN YOUR INFAMIL. THE RACE OF SUPERHUMANS IS COMING.
I see what you did there.
Erisman,Liberty Clark, K.Douglas,A Moesch, G Walsh, Torri Huske…USA 400 M freestyle relay will be in the tear….in short USA will out pace Australia and whole of the world
Wanezek, Erisman, Peplowski rank 4th, 5th, 6th in the world this season with today’s swims.
UVA 400 medley relay gonna blast a 3:44 at this rate
Nobody is beating a Douglass, Huske, Walsh, and Moesch 400 free relay in LA.
The 4×100 free is gonna be a close race just like we saw last year
With who?
Don’t count out Australia…
yo really? big red, doper mcgee, meg prelim and rando 14 yo named Imogen aint intimidating. foh
Perhaps the Americans would be the slight favourites but you would have to be naive to count out the Aussies when they have Dean Boxall in their corner.
We can’t underestimate Australia after what happened last year
Girl you scared of the didgeridoos?
Erisman over Walsh.
Mistake to write off Simone.
Correctamundo
Erisman too
don’t count out Erisman and Liberty Clark…
Walsh ain’t making that top four.
L.A. 2028? wait and enjoy…
About six months ago, during the live Friday Pro Swim stream on Peacock, viewers were told to watch the last day of the meet on the USA Swimming app. But that did not happen tonight.
They mentioned the broadcast on the USA Swimming app and YouTube tomorrow. So glad they’re being back YouTube livestreams. The USA Swimming Network app is an abomination.
Thanks for letting me know about this. I didn’t realize it was on YouTube. It’s great that the live stream is still available as a replay there. That probably explains why my comment got downvoted. Now that it’s on YouTube, there’s no reason to use Peacock to watch it.
Also, tonight was not the last day of the meet, per your earlier comment.

Dressel, Andrew, and Curzan aren’t swimming in LA 2028. America swimming is stacked.
Bro what? MA totally can, even if it’s just 50 fly and 50 BR. Dressel is still in a big training block, he will definitely be in contention in 50 fly, 50 free and 100 fly. Curzan yeah back and fly for the women are crazy good!
Dresser will make La 28. . MA won’t quantify in 50 fly. If he qualifies only in the 50 breast likely won’t make team due to roster cap.
MA best chance is going to be 50BR because the 50FL is super competitive. Kharun is going to be hard to beat for the 1st slot. The 2nd slot has a ton of competition including the AR holder in Dressel. Andrew is also going to be at the mercy of the selection criteria because it’s not clear how the stroke 50s will be prioritized. He have to have strong drops to get a guaranteed slot to be Top 6 in 2027, which I don’t think is likely. He has a very narrow runway to make the team in 2028.
