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 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 Finals: Day 1 |Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5It may be a chilly and rainy day outside the pool, but the action today in the pool is sure to be scorching. The Women’s 50 free, Men’s and Women’s 400 IM, and Men’s 50 fly are the last events to be held at this meet as the Aussies prepare to finalize their team for the 2025 World Championships in Singapore.
That said, just because it’s the last day doesn’t mean it’s not an exciting day, as numerous Olympic and World Medalists are set to compete, and several of them are still waiting for their ticket onto the plane.
Top seed Meg Harris had a great prelims swim yesterday morning in the 100 free but withdrew from the final in the hunt to win the 50 free, an event in which she earned her first major international medal, claiming silver last summer in Paris. The #2 seed, Shayna Jack, beat her last summer by qualifying first for the Paris Games, but after a disappointing 8th place finish last night in the 100 free, she too is still looking for a nomination to the team. It won’t be an easy task as Olivia Wunsch and Alex Perkins were very strong in the 100 last night, and as ever, Mollie O’Callaghan could be looking for a possible 5th individual event.
Brendon Smith, the Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist in the 400 IM, and Jenna Forrester, the 2023 Fukuoka Worlds bronze medalist, are down to their last, but arguably best chance to make the team. Smith had a rough 200 free early in the week, and his 200 IM wasn’t up to snuff. Forrester hasn’t been firing on all cylinders, but having run into the strong opposition that is Ella Ramsay and Tara Kinder hasn’t helped either. Those two are seeded ahead of Forrester, so she’ll need to not only be under the QT tonight but also amongst the top two.
