Pan Pac 2026 Preview: Finke–Short Lead Irvine Showdowns

SwimSwam previews the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine, noting a thinner field due to withdrawals (including Kaylee McKeown and Mollie O’Callaghan) but highlighting several marquee showdowns: Bobby Finke vs. Sam Short in the 800 free (Short healthy after winning Commonwealth Games titles; Finke aiming to rebound), a rising men’s 100 breast field led by Shin Ohashi and Sam Williamson, Summer McIntosh squaring off with Katie Ledecky and Lani Pallister in the 400 and 800 frees, a deep 400 IM with Leon Marchand and company, and a head-to-head in the women’s 50 free between Gretchen Walsh and Kate Douglass (Meg Harris a potential spoiler). McIntosh skips the 800 free; Tomoru Honda is out due to a criminal incident; Florian Wellbrock is among four Europeans racing Pan Pacs. The piece frames several races as likely LA28 precursors and notes the meet’s tilt toward men’s head-to-heads amid notable absences.

Frisco's Universal Kids Resort Draws Online Backlash Over Bare Theming

Frisco's $550M Universal Kids Resort opens July 1, but early previews sparked online backlash for a barren, concrete-heavy design and lack of shade; the Jurassic World coaster gets some love, but most critics say the park feels rushed and underwhelming for families, with high ticket prices and sun-baked walkways. A few defenders note it's aimed at toddlers, yet parents still seek more value. The piece urges Universal to add real trees, shade, richer theming, and more attractions to make the destination feel worthy of North Texas audiences.
