The Indianapolis Pro Series stop next weekend will serve as the final stop of the Pro Series before the 2026 Pan Pac Championships that will take place in Irvine in August. Pre-scratch psych sheets revealed a star-studded lineup including Katie Ledecky, Gretchen Walsh, Ryan Murphy, and Jack Alexy.
The meet will serve as the first competition since both Ledecky and Walsh competed at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale Open at the end of April and into May. Ledecky won the 800 and 1500 freestyles in Fort Lauderdale. Walsh swam to another World Record, lowering her own record in the long course 100 fly as she touched in a 54.33.
Ledecky trains at the University of Florida and much of her training group will be in attendance as Bobby Finke, Emma Weyant, and Kieran Smith. Walsh trains at Virginia, and much of the Virginia group will be in attendance as Kate Douglass, Alex Walsh, Isabelle Stadden, Anna Moesch, and Claire Curzan highlight the psych sheets as well. Cal training partners Jack Alexy and Ryan Murphy highlight the group from Cal that also includes names such as Lucas Henveaux, Gabe Jett, and Ryan Erisman.
Notably not on the psych sheets is the large training group out of Texas under Bob Bowman that includes names such as Regan Smith, Shaine Casas, Chris Guiliano, Luke Hobson, and Carson Foster. Erin Gemmell will be in attendance for Longhorn Aquatics.

What does the $ mean on the psych sheets
Swimswam: please add this meet to your current events page
Why are you guys always sleeping on Keaton Jones? He won the 200 back at Sacramento Pro series and is the fastest American so far this year, he swims for Cal and yet never mention this Olympian
Yeah we NEVER EVER mention him (22 pages of articles linked here: https://swimswam.com/tag/keaton-jones/)
In addition to those above, it looks like a decent group from ASU will also be there. I see Ilya Kharun on the psych sheets. Let’s see if he can improve his season times in the fly events. Also see Adam Chaney on the psych sheets. I wonder if his success in SCY will lead to some faster times in LC. Same for Remi Fabiani. Wonder why Kulow is absent, though.
Good: Timing of the meet & combined Pan Pac Roster Attendance as a Tune Up to PPs.
Bad: Meat is not outdoors, Pan Pacs is.
Team USA should be racing outside right now to get experience.
Hot Take: USA Swimming should have swapped Indy/Sac pro swim dates. Indy indoors in May, Sac outside in June for outdoor race experience. If this was debated ahead of time…the “travel impact” of east coast athletes/coaches was prioritized.
*Outdoor swimming can impact more than the backstrokers. Shadows and visibility impact breakouts, turns, finishes, and relay exchanges. Sun/heat/clouds/wind/rain can impact anyone who is less than more than prepared.
UF has outdoor practices…
Same with Texas
meats should only be outdoors …
Especially on the grill!
No GW in 50 fly? Weak!
She is going to Italy the following week so is probably flying out to Italy on the last day when the 50 fly is happening
She’ll effectively swim and win it in the first half of the 100
Feel like it might be a miracle if Urlando swims this summer. You just get a feeling that it could be way worse than what was said back in march as the days go by.
I’m worried for him. Anyone know what happened?
it wasn’t believable then and certainly less so now… I don’t get why swimmers aren’t more forthcoming; it’s not like football where the opposing team might gain some advantage from knowing who’s hurt and who’s not.
Perhaps he is facing a suspension…
Huh? wtf???
Too ambitious with the TUEs?
I’m very concerned about him, due to his injury history. It appears this “minor” injury perhaps wasn’t so minor. I sincerely hope we see him swim this summer.
excited to see if the Virginia men actually appear at a LCM meet!
