"It was remarkable to break the world record in the 1500," Jordan said.

"I recently moved out to Baltimore to train with Brian Loeffler, and we were using this meet to gauge how training was going, so I couldn't be happier with the result."

Kayla Wheeler was another to break her own world record mark, and to continue a superb year, in the S2 50m butterfly when she stopped the clock over two-and-a-half seconds quicker than the previous time she set in September, before winning again over 100m freestyle. 

In the S9 50m butterfly Lizzy Smith could not quite break the world record but, after finishing a full five seconds clear of her nearest rival, she also got in on the action with an American record mark, while Letitia Martinez and Alyssa Gialamas were others to impress with two titles each.

On the men's side there were less records but still plenty of success with Ryan Duemler and Tucker Dupress two Americans to win double gold on the opening day of action.

The US did not completely have it their own way, however, with Daniel Kisser, Morgan Bird and Aurel Rivard three Canadians to taste victory in respective 100m freestyle events.

Likewise Australian also won multiple events, with butterfly swimmers Mitt Kilduff in the S14 category and Jesse Aungles, in the S8 division, two such examples.
