Australia’s world champion Moesha Johnson has continued her season of complete dominance in open water swimming, winning the Pan Pacific Championships 10km title off Long Beach, California.

Racing on the same waterfront expected to be used for the 2028 Olympics, 28-year-old Johnson grabbed the lead on the second of six laps and won comfortably in one hour 55 minutes and 33 seconds on Tuesday (AEST).

She finished more than 26 seconds clear of silver medallist Airi Ebina of Japan, with Ichika Kajimoto (Japan) third and fellow Australian Jacqueline Davison-McGovern fifth in the 23-strong field.

The victory extended a dazzling 2026 campaign for Johnson, who won all four World Cup 10km races plus all four 3km races.

The 2024 Olympic silver medallist is a three-time world championship gold medallist, having won 5km and 10km last year in Singapore.
