The 2025 World Aquatic Championships are underway, and the pool swimming action gets started in less than 10 days on Sunday, July 27th (local time). Think you’ve got an eye for the top talent in this post-Olympic year? Know how many golds Summer McIntosh is going to walk away with or if someone will complete their stroke’s 50-100-200 sweep? Then it’s time to enter SwimSwam’s Pick’Em contest!
Thank you to Andrew Mering for setting up the game!
The contest is open now and will be live until 5:00pm EST Saturday, July 26th (the first prelims session begins July 26th at 10:00pm EST). At that point, we’ll post everyone’s picks for them to see. You can go in and edit your responses up until the form closes. You can also use this “edit responses” ability to go in and print or save your answers.
If you need help making picks, we’re publishing event-by-event previews and updating our preview index.
Read on for a refresher on the scoring system and prize eligibility.
Scoring System
Correctly picking a swimmer to place:
- 1st – 7 points
- 2nd – 5 points
- 3rd – 4 points
- 4th – 3 points
Correctly picking a swimmer to place in the top 4 but putting them in the wrong spot, will earn you 1 point.

Terakado JPN 1:54.64
Espenberger AUT 1:55.45

I love m200 fly, because there’s only 1 non seeded heat 😁
Is there a way to view your own predictions after the fact? Well over 100 predictions is tough to remember.
Here. I’ll also add a link to the sidebar:

Thank you!
What a farce to see Neutral athletes A & B on the same heat sheet as Israel
Missed the deadline 🙁 why does it close so early
Half the battle of filling this out is remembering who pulled out of which events
