Olympians Connor Jaeger, Micah Lawrence and Shannon Vreeland are among the biggest names highlighting the Indianapolis stop of the Arena Pro Swim Series.

The Indianapolis stop is new to the Arena Pro Swim Series this year compared to the past few seasons. Another new wrinkle is that the Pro Swim Series will actually split into two meets on the same weekend – another competition will also take place in Santa Clara, California. Both meets are Friday through Sunday, June 3-5.
Between the Santa Clara meet and the Austin Elite Invite (also June 3-5), the top domestic talent is spread out across the country for the weekend. But the Indy psych sheets are still pretty loaded up with big names, and some notable foreign contingents also fill in the top-end depth of the meet.
2012 Olympians Jaeger (200 free, 400 free, 1500 free, 200 fly), Lawrence (100 breast, 200 breast, 200 IM) and Vreeland (50 free, 100 free, 200 free, 400 free, 100 fly, 200 IM) are each entered into full slates of events.
More big names include backstroker David Plummer and breaststroker Cody Miller.
NCAA standouts and Olympic hopefuls include Indiana breaststroke sensation Lilly King, Louisville butterfly star Kelsi Worrell and Virginia distance monster Leah Smith.
Internationally, there is a large Canadian contingent competing in Indianapolis, including Olympic qualifiers Brittany MacLean, Santo Condorelli and Dominique Bouchard. Scotland will also bring a delegation of young swimmers including Cameron Brodie and Calum Tait.
More international threats will include backstroker Arkady Vyatchanin (who recently found out he would not gain eligibility in time to represent Serbia at the Olympics), Japanese backstroker Junya Koga, Singapore’s Quah Zheng Wen, Brazil’s Joao de Lucca, Bruno Fratus and Marcelo Chierighini and the Bahamas’ Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace.
Does anyone know if they will be flighting the meet?
