Thursday, January 22nd – Sunday, January 25th Koombana Bay, Western Australia OW SwimSwam Preview Day 1 Recap Meet Central Live ResultsThe 2026 Australian Open Water Championships saw day two unfold with titles, bragging rights, cash and more on the line over the course of the four-day competition.
More than 400 athletes, including a dozen internationals, are competing with domestic racers. Australia’s top senior contenders are racing for funding ahead of qualification races in Spain and Italy for the Pan Pacific Championships to be held in California in August. Junior swimmers are also competing for selection for the Junior World Championships in Argentina.
Today saw Kyle Lee claim his second gold medal, leading his North Coast club to victory in the mixed 4x1km relay.
He teamed up with Bianca Monaco, Elanor Flowers and Adam Sudlow to get the job done ahead of Miami and a visiting squad from Japan.
Miami’s combination of Dougal Richmond, Mia Feltam, Moesha Johnson and Bailey Armstrong captured silver with Japan’s foursome of Sachika Kajimoto, Kiyomi Tani, Miro Uchimura and Taishin Nakagawa hitting the timepad next. St. Peters Western was the next-fastest Aussie team.
After the race, Lee told Swimming Australia, “The Japanese took it out last year and we know we had some good competition coming into this one with Miami and Japan.
“Seeing how good my teammates performed up front, Bianca (Monaco), Eleanor (Flowers) and Adam (Sudlow) all got me into a good lead, (so) I tried my best to close it and get the result we did. We’re very happy.”
Johnson stated, “So for us particularly, Mia (Feltham) is little bit new to open water so we wanted to try and not put her in the argy bargy and try and give her some clean water and put me in with the boys instead and just mix it up a little bit, it’s always interesting (to) try a few things a little bit differently.
“The race plan was to hold the boys’ feet as long as possible. I probably chose the wrong boy’s feet … (but) it ended up being a fight to the finish line between and the Japanese.”
