At the 2021 Pro Swim Series – Richmond in January, Aistars threw down several lifetime bests in long course, coming close to Olympic Trials Wave I cuts. He was 1:52.93 in the 200m free, 3:59.84 in the 400m free and 8:15.74 in the 800m free, taking third in the 200 free and 800 free and second in the 400 free. At the U.S. Open in November, he turned in a lifetime best 16:12.34 in the 1500m free.
USC’s distance group is led by current junior Victor Johansson, a 2019 NCAA qualifier with yards bests of 4:13.30 in the 500 and 14:43.21 in the 1650 free.
The USC class of 2026 now includes Aistars, Griffin O’Leary and Charlie Arnold on the men’s side. He’ll team up with another incoming distance freestyler in the 2025 class, Daniel Matheson (4:20.6/15:13.9).
