We made it through April, which was a month stacked with international Trial meets all aimed at qualification for the 2023 World Aquatics Championships set for July in Fukuoka, Japan
- As a reminder, you can see all World Championships rosters as they are revealed here.
The month of May still brings some notable competitions, primarily the 2023 Southeast Asian Games, Australia’s Sydney Open, as well as two stops along the Mare Nostrum Tour.
As such, make note of the following lineup of elite international meets and let me know in the comments of any I may have inadvertently missed.

05/30 – 06/03 Absolute Brazilian Swimming Championships (BRA)
Just a small correction. Danish International Swim Cup in Esbjerg, Denmark is may 19-21.
Mare Nostrum just two meets this year? What happened to Barcelona?
I think “Trofeu Internacional Ciutat de Barcelona” is supposed to be Mare Nostrum but the dates are wrong according to the Mare Nostrum website.
With China lifting the COVID-19 lockdown policy, the Chinese Nationals should be compelling.
@Retta, Here are meets that are missing from the list:
Swimming Cup of Russia 1st stage:
1st-2nd May in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk
Speedo Atlanta Classic (12th-14th May):
According to a pod Brent Arckey did with Hawke last week, Summer McIntosh is going to be at this meet.
Speedo Sectionals in Richmond (18th-21th May):
We might see UVA go to this meet instead of Mission Viejo.
Also, do you know when will the SS Breakdown be uploaded ?
Is there anywhere I can watch the Atlanta Classic? And it’s LCM right?
It is a LCM. It might be on YouTube under USA swimming where they have live streams.
Thank you!
Stay tuned for newest Breakdown…we try to get one out every week, depending on Coleman’s travel schedule.
Thank you
