American swimming sensation Katie Ledecky delivered an electrifying performance at the TYR Pro Swim Series meet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on April 30, 2025. The 28-year-old athlete clocked an astonishing time of 15 minutes 24.51 seconds in the 1500m freestyle.
This incredible swim stands as the second-fastest time ever recorded in the event, only surpassed by Ledecky's own world record of 15 minutes 20.48 seconds, set in 2018. Ledecky's dominance in the 1500m freestyle is unparalleled, holding the top 22 all-time best performances.
Ledecky's performance at the Pro Swim Series underscores her continued excellence and sets the stage for a promising run at the upcoming U.S. Championships in June and the World Championships in Singapore in July/August 2025.
