The swimming portion of the event is scheduled to take place from May 17-23 and can be followed via the meet's results and live stream.

Representing her home country of Poland, Wasick brings high rankings into the meet with Europe's ninth-ranked time in the 50m free (24.73) and 20th fastest 100m free (54.66) in 2021. A two-time medalist at the European Championships in short course meters, she will also use the race as another tune up for her fourth Olympic Games in Tokyo.
