On the men's side, French sensation Leon Marchand dominated the pool, collecting multiple victories to secure the overall men's title. In the women's division, Kate Douglass was the standout performer, earning a remarkable string of gold medals on her way to the overall crown.

Records were broken, with Leon Marchand smashing a 12-year-old record in the 200m, stopping the clock at 1:48.99 to surpass Ryan Lochte's 1:49.63, while Regan Smith lowered her own world mark in the 100m backstroke with a stunning 54.27.
