Summer McIntosh is among nine swimmers to commit to the full schedule of the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup 2025.
Following her stunning World Aquatics Championship campaign, where she won four gold medals and a bronze at Singapore 2025, the three-time Olympic champion has now signed up for the full World Cup schedule.
The Swimming World Cup features three stops in October, starting in Carmel and Westmont in the USA, before Canada’s McIntosh gets to enjoy a home race in Toronto.
Joining McIntosh is five-time Olympic medallist Kate Douglass, who medalled in every event she entered at the Olympic Games of Paris 2024. The Team USA swimmer also left Singapore with five world championship medals, three of which were gold.
American compatriot Regan Smith will face stern competition from Australia’s Kaylee McKeown, joined by a countrywoman and fellow five-time Olympic champion Mollie O’Callaghan.
Four men have also signed up for the full World Cup series later this year, where McIntosh is accompanied by a fellow Canadian in Joshua Liendo.
European swimming stars Thomas Ceccon of Italy, Hungary’s Hubert Kos and Swiss Noè Ponti complete the initial nine-strong lineup, all eager to add to their Olympic silverware over in North America.
The 2025 Swimming World Cup begins on 10 October in Carmel, Indiana, the first stage taking place over three days. Westmont, Illinois will host the aquatics stars on 17-19 October, before they wrap up the series across the border in Ontario on 23-25 October.
