We are back with another daily Propulsion Swimming Podcast preview show, breaking down all the epic matchups coming our way on Day 3 of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

We kick things off with the Women’s 100m Freestyle, where we predict a dominant Aussie 1-2-3 sweep led by the incredible Mollie O'Callaghan. Then, we dive into the Men's 50m Breaststroke—a race so deep that anyone in the final could take gold, including a highly motivated Adam Peaty. We also discuss the Women's 1500m Freestyle where Australia's Lani Pallister is the heavy favourite, and address the ongoing lack of distance depth among the Home Nations.

Later, we look at Luke Greenbank's highly anticipated international comeback following his heartbreak in Paris. Can he overcome Pieter Coetze and Ollie Morgan in the Men's 200m Backstroke? We also preview the Women's 100m Butterfly, the S9 100m Backstroke featuring English Para-swimming legend Alice Tai, and wrap up with a massive tactical debate: Who takes silver and bronze in the Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay behind the Aussies
