Sam Short on 2028 OLY Cycle: “I really want to race more often in the US and internationally”

2025 Pro Swim Series — Sacramento

Once again, world champion Sam Short is dominating the distance events at the Pro Swim Series. After going 3-for-3 at the Westmont stop last month, Short traveled to Flagstaff for an altitude training camp. Coming off the back of that stint, Short opted to compete at the Sacramento stop, stating his goal for this Olympic cycle is to race more on the international stage.

Bobby always says that he’s a pure racer and wings it as he goes. If he sees that Short is fully committed to future years as he says, I think that’ll get him to come, since he has no domestic people at his speed

It might also be a smart move to avoid getting really sick at the next Olympics by working on his immunity

I’ve really enjoyed watching Sam Short racing at the pro swim series. Can’t wait to see him again next season.
