Shaine Casas once again walked away from a Pro Swim with multiple wins. The Paris Olympian touched first in the 100 free, 200 IM, and 50 back in Ft Lauderdale. He also recorded the 2nd fastest time of the field in the 200 free (winning the B-final) and placed 3rd in the 50 back.
Looking ahead to world champ trials in June, Casas is unsure of his exact event lineup, but is most certain that he will at least be swimming the 100 fly and 200 IM.
Anyone know what his Chinese characters tat say?
I feel he’s turned a corner in regards to performing at the top level meets. I expect to see him on three relays in Singapore.
Great news!
There exists a “B” final at the 2025 USA Swimming National Championships unlike the 2024 USA Swimming Olympic Team Trials.
Shaine wins 2 individual world titles this summer, put it in the books
100 fly, 200 IM and the 100/200 free are hopefully locks. He’ll throw a 50 back in there, I’m just wondering if he goes up to the 200 back or just goes 50/100 back. Don’t think his backstroke’s been impressive this year, maybe besides that leadoff at SC Worlds in December and the 24.23 50m back he did in Westmont
Honestly this year there might be a window to get in and get an individual world title this summer in an event depending on the shape he’ll be in and the rest of the world but he has a legit chance to this year
This is prob gonna be one of the best chances to get the 200 IM world title. Scott and Wang are old and Leon isn’t in top shape this year if he even swims at worlds in the first place
i think the universe of his events are probably 100-200 free, 50-100 back, 50-100 fly, 200 im
i think he should swim the 100-200 free, 100 fly, 100 back, 200 im. that would mean one event a day and no doubles at trials. he could figure out / drop events as necessary after trials based on his results & the worlds schedule.
the only potential doubles at trials are the 200 free / 50 fly & 100 fly / 50 back — he could swim the 50s since theyre toward the end of their respective days but feels a bit like overkill lol and he should focus on relay relevant events
I think he should do the 50 Back for sure, but not the 50 Fly. He’s a real medal threat in 50 Back but not Fly, so even if he squeaks out a miracle win in the 50 Fly he’ll probably make it to back to semis at most in Singapore.
Idk what to make of his backstroke and seems like he isn’t sure either. I’m pretty confident he does 50 back and maybe 50 fly though, he seems hyped the 50’s got added to LA
Dressel and Andrew will be hard to beat in the 50fly they are pure sprinters.
Can Andrew do three in a row?
heck, make him do breastroke maybe he is the missing link for the US relay
We’re missing a lot of links on the medley relay rn
It won’t be a problem
Should give the 1 back a shot but those are definitely his best events. Think he could get to 47 high as well to get a relay spot
