Glasgow 2026 Day 1 PREVIEW: Peaty, Scott, and Huge Aussie Injury News!

We are officially one week out from the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, and the Propulsion Swimming Podcast is kicking off our day-by-day preview shows.

We start by looking at the incredible Women's 400m Freestyle battle between Lani Pallister and Erika Fairweather, before diving into the Men’s 200m IM, where Duncan Scott is looking to ignite the home Scottish crowd. We also discuss Kaylee McKeown withdrawing from the Women's 200m Backstroke due to glandular fever, blowing the race wide open for Kylie Masse and the Home Nations.

Plus, we break down the fierce S13 and S10 Para-swimming events with massive British medal hopes like Stephen Clegg and Faye Rogers, preview the blisteringly deep Men's 100m Breaststroke field challenging Adam Peaty, and react to the jaw-dropping news that Mollie O'Callaghan is racing the 4x100m relays through spinal fractures!
