The open water swimming competition was contested at the Jinshan City Beach from July 19–23. Germany came out on top in the gold medal count in the open water swimming competition with one gold, two silvers, and one bronze.

Swimming

Main article: Swimming at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships

The swimming competition will feature races in a long course (50 m) pool in 40 events (20 for males, 20 for females; 17 individual events and 3 relays for each gender). The events will be held at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center from July 24–31. The United States currently leads the medal count in the swimming competition with six golds.

Day one

Heemskerk had a 52.46 split to overcome to Americans in the 4×100 m freestyle relay on day one.

On the first day of competition on July 24, four finals were contested, the women's and men's 400 m freestyle and women's and men's 4×100 m freestyle relay. In the women's 400 m freestyle, Italian Federica Pellegrini successfully defended her 2009 crown and crushed the field to win gold in a time of 4:01.97, over two seconds ahead of British Rebecca Adlington. In the men's 400 m freestyle, Korean Park Tae-Hwan won the gold in a time of 3:42.04, over one second ahead of second-place finisher Chinese Sun Yang.[5] After the 400 m freestyle event was the women's and men's 4×100 m freestyle relay. In the women's 4×100 m freestyle relay, the Dutch team of Inge Dekker, Ranomi Kromowidjojo, Marleen Veldhuis, and Femke Heemskerk finished ahead of the United States 3:33.96 to 3:34.47. Because of Heemskerk's 100 m split of 52.46, the Dutch were able to overcome the United States on the final leg.[6] Next in the men's 4×100 m freestyle relay, the Australian team of James Magnussen, Matthew Targett, Matthew Abood, and Eamon Sullivan won the gold in a time of 3:11.00.[7] Magnussen jolted the Australians ahead in the first leg with a split of 47.49. American Michael Phelps (whose team finished third) had the second-best start with a 48.08. After the race, Phelps said of Magnussen, "He's talented, he's young. I think it's going to make it exciting for the sport and add something else to that relay, that's for sure." No new world or competition records were set during day one.

Day two

Cielo won gold in the 50 m butterfly on day two.

On the second day of competition on July 25, four finals were contested, the women's 100 m butterfly, men's 50 m butterfly, women's 200 m individual medley, and the men's 100 m breaststroke. In the first final of day two, the women's 100 m butterfly, American Dana Vollmer won the gold after posting the top times in the heats and semifinals. Vollmer's winning time of 56.87 was slower than her semifinal time of 56.47 but was still good enough for gold.[8] In the men's 50 m butterfly, Brazilian Cesar Cielo, just recently cleared to compete after failing a drug test, won in a time of 23.10. Cielo was very emotional after the race and sobbed uncontrollably. After he said, "This gold medal has a different feel from the other ones. This one was the hardest of my life." In the women's 200 m individual medley, fifteen-year-old Chinese Ye Shiwen won the gold in a time of 2:08.90 to give host nation China its first gold in the swimming competition. At the 150 mark, Ye was in fifth place but covered the last 50 metres in 29.42 to surge ahead of American Ariana Kukors and Australian Alicia Coutts for the win.[9] In the men's 100 m breaststroke Norwegian Alexander Dale Oen won the gold in a time of 58.71.[10] After the race, he pointed to the Norwegian flag on his swimming cap in reference to the 2011 Norway attacks. No new world or competition records were set during day two.

Day three

On the third day of competition on July 26, five finals were contested, the men's 200 m freestyle, women's 100 m backstroke, women's 1500 m freestyle, men's 100 m backstroke, and the women's 100 m breaststroke. In the first final of day three, the men's 200 m freestyle, American Ryan Lochte won gold in a time of 1:44.44. Fellow American Michael Phelps won the silver with a time of 1:44.79, his second consecutive silver in the event at a World Aquatics Championships.[11] In the women's 100 m backstroke, Chinese Zhao Jing won the gold in a time of 59.05, just 1/100 of a second ahead of Russian Anastasia Zuyeva.[12] In the women's 1500 m freestyle, Dane Lotte Friis won the gold in 15:55.60, improving on her second place finish in the event two year ago.[13] In the men's 100 m backstroke, Frenchmen Camille Lacourt and Jérémy Stravius had matching times of 52.76 to win gold. In the women's 100 m breaststroke, American Rebecca Soni dominated the field to win in a time of 1:05.05, over a second ahead of second place finisher Leisel Jones.[14] No new world or competition records were set during day three.

Day four

Pellegrini won her second individual gold medal in the 200 m freestyle on day four.

On the fourth day of competition on July 27, four finals were contested, the men's 200 m butterfly, women's 200 m freestyle, men's 800 m freestyle, and the men's 50 m breaststroke. In the first final of day four, the men's 200 m butterfly, American Michael Phelps won the gold with a time of 1:53.34, becomming the first swimmer to win five gold medals in one discipline at the World Aquatics Championships.[15] In the women's 200 m freestyle, Italian Federica Pellegrini won her second gold medal of the meet and successfully defended her 2009 crown. In the men's 800 m freestyle, Chinese Sun Yang won his first ever world title with a time of 7:38.57. In the men's 50 m breaststroke, Brazilian Felipe França Silva won the gold in a time of 27.01. However, it was not without controversy as video showed Silva performed an illegal dolphin kick at the finish of the race.[16] No new world or competition records were set during day four.

Day five

Lochte set the first world record in the competition on day five.

On the fifth day of competition on July 28, five finals were contested, the men's 200 m individual medley, men's 100 m freestyle, women's 200 m butterfly, women's 50 m backstroke, and the women's 4×200 m freestyle relay. In the first final of day five, the men's 200 m individual medley, American Ryan Lochte set the first world record of the competition en-route to winning gold with a time of 1:54.00 and successfully defended his 2009 title.[17] In the men's 100 m freestyle, Australian James Magnussen continued his strong performance with gold in a time of 47.63, becoming the first Australian man to win the event. Defending champion César Cielo finished in fourth place with a time of 48.01.[18] In the women's 200 m butterfly, Chinese Jiao Liuyang won her first individual world title with a time of 2:05.55, just holding off Brit Ellen Gandy who finished second in 2:05.59.[19] In the women's 50 m backstroke, Russian Anastasia Zueva won the gold in a time of 27.79.[20] In the women's 4×200 m freestyle relay, the American team of Missy Franklin, Dagny Knutson, Katie Hoff, and Allison Schmitt won the gold with a time of 7:46.14. Leading off the relay, the sixteen-year-old Franklin recorded a time of 1:55.06, which was fast enough to win the individual 200 m freestyle (won in 1:55.58).[21] One world record, set by Lochte in the 200 m individual medley, was set during day five.
