Why Summer McIntosh ranks #37 in Swimming
Summer McIntosh ranks 37th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 769th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 62, Honours 82, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Swimming reference universe of 288 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2019–present with 5 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 4, world championship golds 7, world records 4, 400 m medley record (s) 270.
Immediately ahead sits Kristóf Milák on 80.9, a gap of -0.8 points. Directly behind is Kaylee McKeown on 79.5. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
