2026 GIANT OPEN

The 2026 Giant Open is headed to the Olympic Aquatic Center in Saint-Denis, France, spanning March 20th through March 22nd. Over 200 French and international swimmers are expected to race at the three-day affair.

French athletes to the tune of Beryl Gastaldello, Maxime Grousset and Melanie Henique are among the elite domestic athletes, while Simone Cerasuolo of Italy, Mary-Sophie Harvey of Canada and Emre Sakci of Turkey will also be there.

On the British front, we’ll see the likes of Freya Anderson, Adam Peaty and Duncan Scott take to the pool, just a month ahead of the all-important Aquatics GB Championships. That later competition represents the sole opportunity to qualify for the Commonwealth Games.

Look for daily recaps bringing you all the racing results and what they mean for the rest of the 2026 competition season.
