In this episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we talk about 2025 Toyota U.S. Open Championships in Austin, Texas, where there were some stunning swims.

Summer McIntosh and Leon Marchand made the biggest headlines. McIntosh roared back into competition with the second fastest 400m freestyle in history, with a 3:55.37. She then closed out the meet with a dominant 200m butterfly in 2:02.62, the fourth fastest ever.

Marchand was equally impressive. He dipped into the 400m free, not his usual specialty, and clocked a lifetime best of 3:44.70. Then he wrapped up with a triumphant 200m butterfly in 1:52.57.

We also talk about other great swims including Kate Douglass in the 200m IM and 200m Breaststroke and Hubert Kos in the 100m and 200m backstroke, as well as how deep U.S. swimming is becoming - not just at the top, but throughout the roster.
