This summer, USA Swimming has taken the initiative to send international delegations to four significant competitions. This includes the Pan American Games, the World Junior Championships, and the ongoing World Championships. The goal of this initiative is to give swimmers valuable opportunities to compete internationally as they prepare for the eagerly awaited Paris Olympic season.

Outstanding swimmers and NCAA champions prepare to compete for the United States at the historic LEN European Championships. This significant event, which will take place in Dublin, Ireland, promises to be a display of talent and grit. The remarkable roster of the United States team highlights the dynamic experience the LEN U23 Swimming Championships promise to deliver.

USA Lead Roster for LEN U23 Swimming Championships

The exceptional talent on the U.S. roster contributes to the excitement surrounding the LEN European Championships. Emma Sticklen, a rising senior at the University of Texas who won the NCAA title in the 200-yard butterfly earlier this year, is one of the stars leading the pack. Joining her are two NCAA champions from 2022, Kaitlyn Dobler from USC, who dominated the 100-yard breaststroke, and Paige McKenna from Wisconsin, who triumphed in the 1650-yard freestyle. The addition of Isabelle Stadden, who is renowned for her reliable backstroke performances, Grace Cooper from Texas, Justina Kozan from USC, and Julia Dennis from Louisville, all of whom are eager to make an impact, strengthens the women’s team even more.

According to Swimming World, on the men’s side, Gabriel Jett, the 2022 U.S. Nationals 200 butterfly winner, is eager to bounce back after a disappointing selection meet performance. He is joined by a formidable squad comprising Patrick Sammon from Arizona State, Mitch Mason from LSU, and NC State teammates Owen Lloyd and Hunter Tapp. Two rising stars who have not yet started their collegiate careers have been added to the team, Aaron Shackell, who will be attending Cal, and Rex Maurer, who will be attending Stanford.

Under the guidance of Louisville head coach Arthur Albiero, with assistance from Lea Mauer (USC) and Yuri Suguiyama (Wisconsin), these athletes are primed to make a splash on the international stage. As athletes from 36 nations dive into the waters, they aim to make a splash in the first-ever LEN U23 Swimming Championships.
