The Australian Swimming Trials 2024 were held in Brisbane from June 10 to 15 to select the Dolphins for the Paris 2024 Olympics starting next month.
The aquatics meet saw several Australian Olympic medallists, including Kaylee McKeown, Emma McKeon, Cate Campbell, Emily Seebohm, Bronte Campbell, Mitch Larkin and Cam McEvoy take on the new generation of Australian swimmers for the coveted spots in the Australian Olympic team.
Kaylee McKeown, the Tokyo 2020 gold medallist in the 100m and 200m backstroke events, set a new Australian record in the women’s 200m individual medley on the opening day and followed it up with a win in the 100m backstroke.
Ariarne Titmus, meanwhile, shattered the world record in the women's 200m freestyle, set earlier by compatriot Mollie O’Callaghan, who finished second in the race in Brisbane. Both Ariarne and Mo's times were under the previous world record.
Emma McKeon, who won seven medals - four gold and three bronze - at Tokyo 2020, clinched the top spot in the women's 100m butterfly. She also came third in the 50m freestyle on the final day of the competition.
Popstar-turned-swimmer Cody Simpson fell short of his Olympic dream after finishing fifth in the men's 100m butterfly event with a time of 51.79.
With the maximum-possible 52 quotas - 26 for men and 26 for women - secured for the Paris 2024 Olympics, Australia will be sending a full quota of swimmers to Paris.
The top two Dolphins in each final were selected for the Australian swimming team, provided they meet Swimming Australia’s qualifying standards for the Olympics.
Morning heats determined the eight fastest swimmers, who then competed in the evening finals.
The Australian Swimming Trials for the Paris Olympics is the second national meet for the Dolphins this year. The first meet was held at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre in Queensland in April.
