U.S. Nationals have wrapped up, with significant impacts to the swimmers in line for 2019-2020 U.S. National Team status. Here’s a look at the current top 6 in each event, with the Pan American Games set to provide another wave of potential qualifiers this week.
These times can serve as “times to beat” for the Pan Ams swimmers, as well as those swimming the World Cup or other meets between now and August 25, when the selection period ends.
as determined by FINA.org’s World Rankings from January 1, 2019 through August 25, 2019
Rankings will be pulled from the FINA site on September 3 (giving swimmers a chance to make sure their time is included in the database)
Prelims, semifinals and finals (A, B, C and D) from all USA Swimming or FINA sanctioned meets are eligible
Relay leadoffs, time trials, swim-offs and intermediate splits are not eligible
Note: we did our best to pull out the top 6 swimmers over the qualifying period while factoring out time trials and relay leadoffs, but it’s possible we missed a swim or two here. If you notice one, please let us know in the comments and we will update accordingly. Just don’t bring up Regan Smith‘s medley relay leadoff without reading the bullet point directly above this one.

Didn’t Nathan Adrian go under 22 at Winter Nat 2018?
There are three categories when comparing the class of swimmer. First, there is the competitive swimmer that qualifies for the semifinals at the FINA World Aquatics Championships. Second, there is the world class swimmer that qualifies for the medal podium at the FINA World Aquatics Championships. Third, there is Regan Smith. Any questions?

I’m not sure apple is 48.01
I’m pretty sure he was like 47.7 at wugs
Fun fact, Regan Smith’s 59.4 100 split in her 200 from finals would rank 5th in the list, she’s the real deal Holyfield. Wonder if she’d consider the 100 or 200 free at trials next year, or winter nationals since they’ll probably be LCM this year, bet she could be a constant 52.5/1:55 relay splitter by next summer
Jared Anderson swam for nearly twenty years. Then, Jared Anderson stopped swimming and started writing about swimming. He's not sick of swimming yet. Swimming might be sick of him, though.
Jared was a YMCA and high school swimmer in northern Minnesota, and spent his college years swimming breaststroke and occasionally pretending …

Good catch, thank you. We’ve updated above.

Sighh..who is going to say it
Not me . I’m too busy
The down vote:up vote ratio of this comment makes me happy.
Gator men’s freestyle domination. #1 in the 50/100/200/800/1500, 3 of the top 6 in the 400. Has that ever been done?
There was a time when Phelps, PVK, Klete, and I think Vendt all swam for Wolverine.
Longhorn had Peirsol, Hansen, and Crocker.
Should we email you directly now?

Hey current best in the 100 is a 55. Not sure what you’ve seen to indicate 52.5 split potential. That’s faster than Weitzel split during worlds.
