EVERYONE To watch During the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships

The 2026 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships are almost HERE, I should have this preview scheduled for the morning that the first prelims session starts. This meet is THE championship meet for most top American swimmers. This is also the big focus meet for Summer McIntosh this year with there being many swimmers from Australia, Japan, and china in attendance as well. The US, Australia, Japan, and Canada are actually the founding nations of the Pan Pacific Championships originally created as an alternative to the European Championships which of course are happening RIGHT NOW as well, quite literally for me as I record this actually. One thing to note before we dive into ALL the entries on the psyche sheets is the fact that a country can enter as many swimmers as they want in the prelims but ONLY two can qualify into the semis or finals of an event, this meet is also VERY short only spanning four days leading to some very condensed schedules for a lot of swimmers and we probably have a few that are over entered and will scratch out of some events. That's enough preamble, let's take a look at EVERY event on the psych sheets.
