Poll: Who Is the Current Best Female Swimmer in the World (Vote Here!)

At the recent World Championships in Fukuoka, the power and depth of women’s swimming was on full display. A year shy of the start of the Olympic Games in Paris, several women delivered sensational performances at the Marine Messe Hall. The triumvirate of Mollie O’Callaghan, Kaylee McKeown and Ariarne Titmus starred as Australia topped the gold-medal count and built serious momentum heading into 2024.

Meanwhile, American Katie Ledecky continued her distance-freestyle dominance by capturing gold medals in the 800 freestyle and 1500 freestyle, the shorter distance marking her sixth consecutive crown in the event. Additionally, Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom and Canadian Summer McIntosh claimed two gold medals each, with Sjostrom setting a world record in the 50 freestyle.

Maybe you will cast a vote for another athlete, China’s Zhang Yufei and Lithuania’s Ruta Meilutyte as strong options.

Who are you going to vote for?

The longevity of Katie at the top level for so long is amazing.
Sarah’s record in the shorter distance is history .
All other swimmers need to be tested in time.Some great performances!
But Ledecky is still the best swimmer in the pool.Her range and records are out standing.
