TYR Pro Swim Series Des Moines
The pre-scratch psych sheets for the 2020 TYR Pro Swim Series in Des Moines, Iowa have been posted by USA Swimming. The competition will start March 4 and will go until March 7. Many Olympians will be in attendance with Ryan Lochte, Caeleb Dressel, Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel.
The meet will be missing a significant amount of undergrad collegiate swimmers as the Division I women’s meet will be in 17 days and many swimmers will be in the middle of preparation for those championships. The men’s meet will be in 24 days. Northwestern will send a couple swimmers to the meet including Big Ten champion Calypso Sheridan.
A good amount of last year’s World Championships team will be in attendance at the TYR Pro Swim Series including 2019 female swimmer of the year Regan Smith and reigning World and Olympic champion Lilly King.
