Absences in participation
Siobhan Haughey and Beata Nelson did not compete this season, though they had appeared in previous seasons.
Summer McIntosh was scheduled to participate in the Carmel event but later canceled her appearance because of illness.[8] She has officially chosen to withdraw from all remaining events in this edition of the Swimming World Cup, which might have signified her international debut with Bob Bowman.[9] She later went on to complete at the U.S. Open in Austin, Texas following her withdrawal.[10]
Had McIntosh participated in the Carmel leg, she would have won the 400 freestyle, 200 backstroke, 200 butterfly, and individual medleys this season, and she would have competed in the SWC for the first time since the 2022 edition. She would have also become one of the Canadians to win the overall title in the SWC, joining Mark Tewksbury, who dominated backstroke events in the 1991 edition.
Event winners
In summary, of the total number of 102 events across three meets, the United States (including those representing U.S swimming club (CLB)) won 43 events, followed by Australia winning 19 events and Canada and Hungary each with victories in 10 events.
