2025 men's swimming rankings going into Toyota U.S. Championships
The new Olympic quad could usher in a new era for U.S. men's swimming. Bobby Finke is the lone individual Olympic men's gold medalist entered so far in next week's Toyota U.S. Championships, the meet that determines the team for the World Championships in July and August in Singapore. Three other Olympic champions — Caeleb Dressel, Chase Kalisz and Ryan Murphy — were not on the initial entry list. Dressel has raced in one meet since Paris and Kalisz strictly in November 2024 trials, according to USA Swimming's database. Murphy said he is taking a break from competition in 2025 with an eye on coming back later in the quad for a 2028 Olympic bid. At nationals, the top two finishers per event — plus up to the top six in the 100m and 200m freestyles for relay purposes — make the team for worlds, should they meet a minimum qualifying time and the total roster not exceed 26 swimmers per gender. Shaine Casas, who placed ninth in the 200m individual medley in his Olympic debut in Paris, goes into nationals with the country's best time in 2025 in the 50m and 100m backstroke and 50m and 100m butterfly, plus the 200m IM. Nick Zaccardi, The last time somebody won five events at one spring or summer nationals was at the 2008 Olympic Trials (Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff). Granted, the 50m backstroke and 50m butterfly, two events that debut at the Olympics in 2028, haven't always been held at national meets. Carson Foster, the Olympic 400m IM bronze medalist, has the top U.S. time in 2025 in the 400m IM, plus in the 200m and 400m freestyles. Then there's Finke, a three-time Olympic gold medalist in the distance freestyles who again tops the seeds in the 800m and 1500m. 2025 U.S. Men's Swimming Rankings Times taken from USA Swimming's database.

Lydia Jacoby on break from swimming competition with eyes still on 2028 Olympics
Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Lydia Jacoby will not swim at next week's Toyota U.S. Championships as she extends a break since last June's Olympic Trials. 'I've been taking a break from competition to focus on myself and life outside the pool — a reset that's felt much needed,' was posted on Jacoby's social media. 'That said, this is not me stepping away from the sport for good — and definitely not from my Olympic dreams. 2028 is still very much on my mind.' In 2021, Jacoby became the first Olympic swimmer from Alaska, then won the 100m breaststroke at the Tokyo Games at age 17. She placed third in the 100m breast at last June's Olympic Trials, missing the team for Paris by 27 hundredths of a second. Jacoby then announced last winter that she was accepted to study abroad in Madrid for the spring 2025 semester. She swam for the University of Texas in 2022-23 and 2023-24. The U.S. Championships are June 3-7, live nightly on Peacock at 7 ET. Nick Zaccardi,
