2025 AUSTRALIAN SWIMMING TRIALS
Monday, June 9th – Saturday, June 14th SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre, Oaklands Park, South Australia Prelims at 11am local (9:30pm ET night before)/Finals at 7:30pm local (6:00am ET) nights 1&2; 7pm local (5:30am ET) nights 3-6 LCM (50m) Swimming Australia World Championships Selection Criteria Meet Central Start List Heat Sheets Results Recaps Prelims: Day 1 | Day 2 Finals: Day 1 |Day 2There have been some upsets and surprises throughout the first two day of competition and one would not want it any other way as Australia begins to rev its engine with it sights set on the 2028 LA Olympics. However, before we get there the Aussie Dolphins need to finish naming their squad to the 2025 Singapore World Championships.
Already booked a spot in two off events, Mollie O’Callaghan enters today’s prelims as the by and far favorite as the Women’s 200 free is up first on the docket. A reigning Olympic Gold medalist in both the 200 free and 4×200 free relay MOC will look to younger field to help her claim the relay gold again. She is seeded three seconds ahead of Lani Pallister and four in front of Jamie Perkins, but keep an eye on teenagers Milla Jansen and Inez Miller, who each will be eager to start their Olympic quad off with a bang.
O’Callaghan is not the only Olympic gold medalist to take to the water as the 50 free champ Cam McEvoy will be making his debut in Adelaide. The Australian record holder is seeded well under the Qualifying standard of 21.94 but so too is Jamie Jack, so the expect the competition behind them to be fierce as several swimmers will be looking to join them under that standard, mainly Kyle Chalmers. Chalmers is the 5th seed at 21.98 and is .04 off the cut time, but he may have too many swimmers ahead of him, so expect fast prelims as he, too, makes his first appearance in the competition pool.
Those aren’t the only two exciting events, however. The 50 breaststroke sees Sienna Toohey, who qualified for Singapore in the 100 last night, as the top seed this morning. The 16 year old will be looking to add a second individual event to her line-up, but seeded .4 back of the stiff time standard of 30.33, it will not be easy. The men’s event is in a similar boat as top seeds Grayson Bell and Josh Yong will need to cut half a second each to reach the time of 27.06.
The men’s 200 fly is in a more precarious position as Harrison Turner, the top seed is over a second back of the qualifying time. The Australians did not qualify a swimmer last year, and with the 100 fly winners more sprint orientated, the 200 fly may seem some unfamiliar names make a run at the A-Final.
The session concludes with the slower two of three heats in the men’s 800. As a timed final, any swimmer could win from any heat, so expect swimmers to leave nothing behind as the try to put up a time that will stand against the experience and speed of Samuel Short and Elijah Winnington.
