- Entries
The 2024 World Championships are just days away with the competition representing the biggest international meet ahead of this year’s Olympic Games.
Although several big names to the tune of Romania’s David Popovici, France’s Leon Marchand and Australia’s Cate Campbell are bypassing the event, there is still a plethora of talent headed to Doha for the action beginning in the pool on February 11th.
SwimSwam commenter Troyy compiled the entries in a little bit of an easier list, grouping those entries by athlete and country.
We’re combing through the lists to identify any surprises as well and will publish all the relevant eye-openers. So far, we’ve discovered that South African Tatjana Schoenmaker will no longer be competing, nor will Australia’s Jenna Forrester.
Find your favorite athletes listed in the entries to find out in which races they’ll be vying for the podium and stay tuned for our previews as we lead up to the main event.
A surprise entry from Haughey in 100 Breast, wonder can she aim for an additional medal other than the 100/200 free double
Good job Troyy!

(The lineups are at the bottom)
Im really cerious as to what the women’s 4×200 free relay for USA will be… Sauickie, Curzan, Han, Klinker? Maybe Douglass in there too…?
GB entering Mixed medley means we’ll likely see Dunks on Fly in that relay, although it’s on the same day as the 200IM heat and Semis so I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t show up. Maybe they’ll rest Dunks in the morning and swim someone else (Richards?, J.Litchfield?).
Tom Dean is missing too does that mean he won’t be on the GB 4x100free or is he just missing cause he has no individuals?
Pretty sure these are just the individual entries. Dean has definitely confirmed he is going to Doha
Yes, they’re derived from the lists on the AQUA website which is based on individual entries.
GB needs a 400 free relay time, so they’re going to send a good 400 free relay to make sure they get one.
If you go on his World aquatics profile it says he’s entered in just the 4×1 Free for Doha (same for Whittle):

Tom Dean is missing does that mean he won’t be swimming GB relays after all?
Looks like a few updates on the US team, not reflected the last time SwimSwam posted the roster. Kate Douglass now has a sixth event, adding the 100BR. Carson Foster is swimming only the 200IM and 400IM (not swimming the 200FR, which was not on the last roster USA Swimming posted either). David Johnston is swimming the 800FR in addition to the 400FR and 400IM (these were reflected on the last USA Swimming roster but not in SwimSwam).
No GB in the men’s medley relay. I get they have already qualified, but surely that’s a good bet for a medal gone providing Duncan steps up on the fly leg?
I just don’t think they’re invested in this meet. It’s about getting that 400 free relay cut and getting back to training.
If I were going to make the trip, I’d treat it as a training camp and take a flier on some relay medals, but I’m not the coach making the decision.
Yep, (I haven’t checked the schedule) but I assume it is being held on the last day, so perhaps a number of the squad would have already departed Doha and gone back to their training camps ahead of trials.
