Regan Smith Blasts 55.94 100 Fly, Her 3rd Fastest Swim Ever In The Event

2026 Longhorn Elite Invite

Women’s 100 Fly — Finals

Top 3 Finishers

  1. Regan Smith (TXLA) — 55.94
  2. Erin Gemmell (TXLA) — 59.96
  3. Campbell Stoll (TXLA) — 1:00.05

Regan Smith swam to a 55.94 in the women’s 100 fly on Friday night, her 3rd fastest 100 fly of her career. Smith sits at #2 in the World so far this season.

Smith has been as fast as a 55.62, a time she swam during finals at 2024 US Olympic Trials for 3rd behind Gretchen Walsh‘s 55.31 and Torri Huske‘s 55.52. The only other swim faster than today was Smith’s 55.92 she swam in semifinals at 2024 US Olympic Trials.

Smith is coming off of altitude training camp in Colorado Springs and is back in her home training pool in Austin, Texas. She has performed well in Austin, as she swam a 56.18 at the US Open in December 2025 as well as another 56.18 at the Pro Series in Austin in January 2026.

Her 56.18 from both meets sat at #2 in the World so far this season, only behind Walsh’s World Record swim of a 54.33 from the Fort Lauderdale Open at the start of May. Based on the announced roster, she is not slated to swim the 100 fly at Pan Pacs later this summer. The 100 fly falls right before the 200 back.

With Smith’s 55.94, there have now been 55 swims that are sub-56 seconds in the women’s 100 fly.

I can honestly see her start to focus on 100 fly instead of 50 back internationally

Yeah, there’s no “international” in 100 fly unless she can get past GWalsh and THuske

Reiterating that I hope Gretchen Walsh starts slamming the 100 free now that she’s the master of the fly. Also, the thing about some of her other well known and accomplished compatriots, including Regan – they’ll be in their late 20s by the LA Olympics…so they’ll need to focus particularly on their medalling strength events

they will be no older than 26 and in sprint events that seems to be somewhat of a prime age for the women

Beating walsh in 100 fly is easier than beating Kaylee in 200 back

proportionately, Shackley is closer to Kaylee in the 200 back than Regan is to Gretchen in the 100 fly so idk about that

Yeah, if Gretchen swims with one arm tied behind her back.

No competition, home pool, and clean water – it’s a great scenario. Great swim.

Yet, never fast enough to win an individual gold medal in the Olympics.
