The month of March picks up the pace in terms of high-level international meets with swimmers vying for opportunities to not only sharpen up their in-season racing but also for the chance to potentially clock qualifying times for this summer’s World Aquatics Swimming World Championships.
The Pro Swim Series kicks off in Westmont while Australia has multiple championships events on their nation’s calendar.
Asia is going full-throttle, with Korea, China and Japan each hosting its World Championships Trials meet this month.

the gangs all coming! it seems max is still training w the rackley group in some capacity; no tommy though 🙁
Max had his big breakthrough last time he raced in the US. 🧐 Should be fun. Gonna be a busy couple of months for them if they’re doing the second one as well and then nationals in April.
Thanks for the heads up.
The season is finally kicking into gear!
I want to see Ceccon compete in Australia, one of the most versatile swimmers that exist
Maybe he’ll compete at NSW Open otherwise I doubt he will.
I had understood that Australia’s top swimmers come to that championship every year, it is usually the first of the year for St Peter Western, so I hope to see a great competition.
The Chinese Trials (Chinese Nats) will be held on May 17-24 in Shenzen. The Chinese Spring Champs is a preparation meet and, for instance, Pan Zhanle won’t be swimming.
Finally some decent lcm racing!
03/13 – 03/15 Danish LC Championships (DEN) is really two regional championships.
