Ranked by Time | Data via Swim Standards | Long Course Meters
The long course season is officially underway. This is our April month-end snapshot of the top LCM swims logged on Swim Standards — covering meets held throughout April 2026, with no limit per swimmer, event, or meet. Because results from some meets may still be processed, a small number of April swims could appear after this snapshot date.
Starting next week, we'll be posting Weekly Top Performances every Wednesday as the long course season builds into the summer.
🏆 Highlights & Standout Swims
A few swimmers dominated the April leaderboards, and the 2026 FG Fort Lauderdale Open (April 29) served as the de facto early-season showcase — accounting for the majority of top performances across both the girls' and boys' sides.
Girls' Side
Rylee Erisman (Windermere Lakers / FL, age 17) was arguably the performance of the month on the girls' side. The 17-year-old swept the 100 free (54.10, 1,002 pts), 200 free (1:57.63, 1,001 pts), and 200 back (2:08.20, 1,025 pts) — each ranking first in their respective 18 & Under events. Her 200 back was the highest power point total posted by any 18-and-under female swimmer in April.
Sadie Buckley (NCAP / PV, age 16) was right behind her. Buckley swept the 200 IM (2:12.35, 1,005 pts), 400 IM (4:39.79, 977 pts), 200 back (2:09.95, 994 pts), and 100 back (1:01.16, 987 pts), plus added a 200 fly victory (2:13.46, 919 pts). She was the most versatile multi-event performer of the month.
Audrey Derivaux (Jersey Wahoos / MA, age 16) made a strong opening statement in the sprint-to-distance freestyle events, topping the 100 fly (58.68, 981 pts) and ranking among the leaders in the 200 and 400 free.
Mikayla Tan (San Ramon Valley Aquatics / PC, age 16) was the standout on the West Coast, posting the top 100 breast (1:08.74, 961 pts) and 200 breast (2:28.11, 970 pts) at the Pacific Swimming LCM Senior Open. She also placed in the 100 fly and 200 IM.
Sydney Hardy (Sarasota Sharks / FL, age 15) was the April distance queen, topping the 1500 free (16:42.76, 939 pts) and posting the month's top 15-16 200 IM (2:16.55, 932 pts). She added a 400 free win as well.
Boys' Side
Jayden Tsai (Windermere Lakers / FL, age 14) put up one of the most eye-catching performances of the month regardless of age group. The 14-year-old swept the 200 IM (2:07.56, 1,015 pts), 400 IM (4:30.97, 1,001 pts), and 200 fly (2:04.39, 999 pts) — elite power point totals at any age.
Joey Eaddy (Revolution Aquatic Club / NE, age 15) was impressive across a wide range of events: 200 back (2:03.06, 1,000 pts), 800 free (8:09.55, 982 pts), 400 free (3:58.31, 938 pts), and 1500 free (15:39.04, 945 pts). He was the most productive distance/backstroke swimmer of the month.
Liam Carrington (Bolles School Sharks / FL, age 18) led the boys in the 100 back (55.48, 957 pts), 50 back (26.19), and 50 free (22.84 — wait, that's Smelzer) — a classic Bolles sprinter-backstroker profile showing up early in the long course season.
Juan Vallmitjana (South Florida Aquatic Club / FG, age 17) swept the distance freestyle events, winning the 800 free (7:57.70, 975 pts), 1500 free (15:22.96, 940 pts), and 400 free (3:53.80, 932 pts) — all at Fort Lauderdale.
Charlie Russell (Bolles School Sharks / FL, age 16) was the month's top 15-16 breaststroker, posting the highest power point total in the 100 breast (1:03.68, 970 pts) among 18-and-under swimmers.
Bolles School Sharks were the most represented club on the boys' side, placing multiple swimmers at or near the top of back, breast, fly, and free — a reminder that the Jacksonville program remains one of the premier early-season LCM programs in the country.
