PR China won the most gold medals, though all of their ten came in the women's events, with Jingyi Le winning two individual and three relay events to travel home with five golds; Guohong Dai went home with four golds and one silver despite swimming only one relay. In the men's events, USA and Australia won three gold medals each; Tripp Schwenk enjoyed a bite of all three American golds, winning the two backstroke events and also winning as a part of the medley team. Fernando Scherer of Brazil (100 m freestyle and short freestyle relay) and Australian Daniel Kowalski (400 and 1500 m) both won two gold medals.
