Siobhan Haughey… is a Breaststroker Now?

2023 PRO SWIM SERIES – FORT LAUDERDALE

Olympic medalist Siobhan Haughey put up elite times in her usual freestyle events in her first LCM outing since Tokyo, clocking a 1:55 in the 200 and 4:05 in the 400. However, for training purposes, the Hong Kong record holder also time-trialed the 100 breast (1:07.8) and competed in the 50 breast, breaking a national record in the 50 (31.2) and going best times in both. Haughey said she swam breaststroke as an age grouper and enjoys swimming it for training. She also emphasizes that it’s nice when you go best times, no matter what the event is.

Really hope she can swim 200IM once again, she swam 2:12 LC in 2017, and since then she improves so much in freestyle events, and post respectable breast and fly time(she split 56 high fly in HK 400 MR), want to see what she can do in IM now.

She did do some 50breasts for energy standard

I think we can all forget at times how versatile most top swimmers are. The reality is that outside of a few breaststrokers (y’all are weird), your best swimmers are not ever just one thing. She was a 1:52 IMer in college and has improved a ton since then in her primary events.

She is whatever the hell she wants to be. Don’t tell her what to do.

31.21 in the 50. Don’t know about the 100 since it was a time-trial.

The title is a bit click-bait-y (although I love it). Maybe a more accurate one would be “Siobhan Haughey is an incredible swimmer, as you probably knew, and turns out she is surprisingly versatile. In fact, her sprint breaststroke is (borderline?) world class despite seemingly being very different from her primary events”.

I can see why they went with this one though…

I don’t know the exact time but I read it was somewhere in the 1:07 range
