Peaty Among International Stars on Arena PSS- Indianapolis Psych Sheet

2017 ARENA PRO SWIM SERIES – INDIANAPOLIS

Psych sheets have been released for the 2017 Arena Pro Swim Series at Indianapolis, which will take place at the IUPUI Natatorium from Thursday, March 2nd to Saturday, March 4th. Among the notable entries is Canadian Olympic gold medalist Penny Oleksiak. She was entered in the last Pro Swim Series meet at Austin, but decided to skip it, but we could get a first look at her in the long course pool this year in Indy.

Oleksiak is one of several international Olympians entered in the meet. Other big names for the women include Federica Pellegrini (ITA), Kelsi Worrell (USA), Melanie Margalis (USA), Jazz Carlin (GBR), Hali Flickinger (USA), and Hilary Caldwell (CAN).

Notably, China’s Ye Shiwen, who said she was likely to retire after Rio, is also entered in the meet.

The international contingent on the men’s side will be headlined by Great Britain’s Adam Peaty, who smashed the 100 breast World Record to win gold in Rio last summer. His Olympic teammate James Guy will make the trip alongside him. Daiya Seto (JPN) will be back to race after picking up several medals in Austin.

As reported earlier by SwimSwam, Nathan Adrian will make his return to the pool in Indy. He should have some good sprint matchups with Olympians Vlad Morozov (RUS), Luca Dotto (ITA), and Bruno Fratus (BRA) in the mix. Adrian will be joined by U.S. Olympic teammates Josh PrenotTom Shields, Kevin Cordes, Jacob Pebley, and Cody Miller, among others, at this meet.

Looks like Adam Peaty is coming for our US Open and pool breaststroke records. ?

I read something that suggests Oleksiak dropped out of the Austin meet due to a minor shoulder injury.

Either way, she seems to be slated to race 5 events in Indianapolis. The 50, 100 and 200m freestyle, and the 100 and 200m butterfly, at least judging by the psyche sheet on the usaswimming.org website. It should be interesting to see how she does in the 200m butterfly considering she last swam it publicly in February of 2016, where she set the Canadian Junior Record.

Anyways a good 200 free is always good for the British 4×200 relay.

Peaty needs to master that 200 breaststroke before he tackles the 200 free.
