The final stop of the 2023 Pro Swim Series was held last weekend in Mission Viejo, California, where another $102,000 in prize money was awarded.
50 swimmers earned at least $500 in prize money for a 3rd place finish at the meet. The field was led by Claire Curzan, who earned $6,250 thanks to three 1st-place finishes, a 2nd-place finish, and two 3rd-place finishes (one of which was a tie with Simone Manuel in the 100 free).
That was the second-highest single-meet output of any swimmer this season, behind only Katie Grimes’ $6,500 in Knoxville.
Prize Money Per Event, 2023 Pro Swim Series
- 1st – $1,500
- 2nd – $1,000
- 3rd – $500
Four of the top five earners in Mission Viejo were women, which continues a trend that we’ve seen throughout the series. While the same amount of money is available to men and women, the money for the women has been concentrated in fewer swimmers who tend to win/place in more events.
Of the $102,000 awarded, the majority, $67,000, went to swimmers who didn’t earn prize money in the first two meets. The vast majority of those new earners were college swimmers who are now diving fully into long course after the end of their collegiate seasons.
Sprinter Abbey Weitzeil, who is becoming one of the best American stories on a resurgent season, was the top overall earner of the series, winning $14,750. She swept the 50 freestyles at all four meets this year, and won the 100 free at all meets except Knoxville – where she was comfortably the top seed but scratched the final.
Hunter Armstrong, who swept the 100 backstrokes, finished 2nd in the series this year with $13,500, followed by Lilly King ($12,500) and Regan Smith ($12,000), each of whom missed at least one meet in the series. Six of the top seven earners were women.
Note that this is money earned and does not necessarily reflect prize money accepted – though by this point, there are enough loopholes in amateurism rules that most athletes should be able to accept most of the money, if enough creativity is involved.
There were no series-long prize winners or standings for this year’s series.

So like…the cost of the flights to each stop?
The money isn’t high enough. These athletes deserve more
ISL bubble has popped. Back to reality now. I hope some of these swimmers are on salaries with their sponsors and not just swimming for free product. Fina World Cup has much better prize money even just for showing up.
Wow thats good to finally see swimmers getting paid !
Let say these 4 meets took for weeks of Weitzeil time. A clerk with the salary of $90/h who is working comfortably from 9 to 5 will make same money for that time. But besides having a luxurious life compare to high profile swimmer (eating whatever he wants, sleeping as much as he wants, no stress and tiredness at works e.t.c) he has tax advantages, medical insurance, paid vacations, free weekends, paid holidays, paid sick days, pension plans and many other small and big perks.
I just paid $350 to plumber to fix ( replace actually) the outside water faucet in my house. It took him less than an hour to complete the job.
When you say clerk do you mean a store clerk? What store clerk earns $90 an hour? I think the average is probably closer to $9 an hour.
But your overall point is correct: swimming doesn’t pay well unless you’re in the top 0.01% and get a great sponsorship deal.
I assume they mean court clerk?
Even if they mean court clerk, that comes out to $187k per year. I don’t think court clerks earn that much…
But even if they do, he’s comparing the salary to the top 1% of earners which seems an odd thing to do if you’re trying to say they’re underpaid
Hunter the magic man!
Weitzel has had an incredible regular season. I hope we get to see her fully realize her potential and do something special this summer.
The W 4 x 100 FR-R desperately need her back to form.
How many guitars will that buy?
Weitzel is back
