The first heat was won by the 17-years old Swedisch champion Carin Nilsson. Her swimming style was described of very fast and beautiful. Her time of 7:11 was stated as a very good time.[3] The second heat was a walk-over by the French champion Ernestine Lebrun of Tourcoing.[3] In the third head, the Dutch Evelien of swimming club H. D. Z. won in an easy way of her French opponent.[3] The fourth heat was a tough battle between the British V. Newman and the Belgian Elisa van den Bogaert. Van den Bogaert swam in breaststroke. She led the race but was caught in the last part of the reace, just before the finish.[3]
Newspaper La Natation Belge stated that Carin Nilsson and Ernestine Lebrun swam a new French record with a time of 7:30.2.[7]
