2025 NSW STATE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS

Friday, March 21st – Sunday, March 23rd Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre LCM (50m) Meet Central SwimSwam Preview #1 SwimSwam Preview #2 Final Entries Day 1 Recap/Day 2 Recap Live Results

The 2025 New South Wales State Open Championships entered its final day with the competition representing a tune up opportunity for athletes ahead of the all-important World Trials on the agenda for June.

23-year-old Kaylee McKeown already put on a show in both the women’s 100m and 200m backstroke events on the first two days of the meet. In the former, she ripped a monster 57.73 and in the latter she crushed an outing of 2:04.57. Both performances rocketed her up the world rankings to wear the crown in both events.

Next on McKeown’s list of victims was the 50m back.

Competing in this morning’s heats, Griffith University’s McKeown fired off an eye-popping result of 27.06. That beat the field by well over a second en route to capturing the top seed.

McKeown’s time was within striking distance of her own world record mark of 26.86, the time she put on the books during the 2023 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup.

However, her 27.06 represents the 4th-swiftest performance in history.
