A swim-off is possible to determine which athlete will continue on to semi-finals of the women’s 100 free at the 2017 FINA World Championships.

Prelims of the women’s 100 free saw the Netherlands’ Maud van der Meer and Israel’s Andrea Murez turn in matching times of 54.49. The two did so from heats six and eight respectively.

UPDATE: Murez won the swim-off in 54.20, while van der Meer came in at 54.49, exactly her time from prelims. Murez will advance to the semi-finals as the No. 16 seed.
