Womens 100 free is going off at the moment with a rapid 51.86 for Marrit Steenbergen in Canet yesterday - using highly sophisticated mathematical modelling I predict she’ll go 51.59 in Barcelona.

At the AP Race London International Angharad Evans posted a blistering 100 breaststroke relay split and now has 9 of the top 10 GB performances all time. With more chances to race this event over the summer she could quite possibly knock Molly Renshaw out of the top 10

Ana Moesch with an American record 51.94 100 free at the AP Race London International single handedly attempting to show USA Swimming why picking teams a year in advance may not always be the best strategy. Second fastest all time and only the third lady sub 52

In the men’s 4x100 free Gabe Shepherd dropped a 47.85 split - only Matt Richards at 47.60 was faster. I’m not 100% sure but I think that’s the first time Gabe has split sub 49 and he’s done it in style

Safe to say Angharad Evans loves a relay - 1:04.81 split at AP Race London International in the medley relay this evening

If @apraceofficial didn’t fly this guy in especially I’ll eat my hat - could there be a more appropriate name?

Since missing out on the Paris Olympics it’s been a long two years for Jacob Peters, but at this year’s British Champs he was back up to speed and ready to take to the international stage once again pullbuoy.co.uk/features/back…

Ollie Morgan moving from Birmingham to the Manchester Performance Centre - with Jacob Mills also headed there later this year it’s a popular place to be!

Here's how you can catch up on action at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games if you don't want to shell out on HBO Max for TNT Sport's coverage. It remains to be seen how long these highlights will be theguardian.com/sport/2026/m…

Yesterday England’s swimming squad for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games was confirmed. No massive surprises but a few people who might feel harshly done by as fleshing out relays apparently took the discretionary focus. For a breakdown of the selection: pullbuoy.co.uk/commonwealth-…

At the GB Champs I sat down with GB Head Coach Steven Tigg to talk about how he’s finding the role 18 months, his hopes for this summer’s major meets and more - have a listen here: pullbuoy.co.uk/podcast/podca… or wherever you get your podcasts.

A terrific week of swimming in London at the Aquatics GB Championships with fast swimming everywhere. So plenty for me and @bobballardsport to discuss on the latest podcast as we review the highlights and hear from some of the swimmers making waves. pullbuoy.co.uk/commonwealth-…

To illustrate the vagaries of points, Duncan Scott’s 200IM was 0.36 faster than last year, but thanks to Leon Marchand scored 24 fewer points than 2025.
After a fast week of racing in London these are the top 10 men’s and women’s swims ranked by World Aquatics points. Points can be very unreliable comparators but hard to argue with the top 4 women’s swims. What do you reckon?
