2026 AUSTRALIAN SWIMMING TRIALS
Monday, June 8 – Saturday, June 13, 2026 Sydney, Australia Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre LCM (50 meters) Meet Central Commonwealth Selection Criteria Pan Pac Selection Criteria Psych Sheets Live Results Live Stream Storylines To Watch Live Recaps: Prelims: Day 1 | Day 2 Finals: Day 1The second night of action from the 2026 Australian Swimming Trials in Sydney is set to get underway with Commonwealth and Pan Pac roster spots on the line in six events, plus Para Pan Pac selection up for grabs across four multi-class events.
We’ll see the three women’s events run first, followed by the three men’s races (with the Para events sprinkled in between).
Leading off will be the women’s 100 breaststroke, where all eyes will be on 17-year-old Sienna Toohey, the top seed coming into the meet who set a new personal best of 1:06.43 in April, along with Ella Ramsay, who is coming off a strong runner-up finish in the 200 IM on Monday.
That will be followed by the women’s 50 fly, where Alexandria Perkins, the co-national record holder, will be the big favorite after a dominant showing on Monday in the 100 fly. Lily Price faded to 4th in the 100 fly, but was quick on the opening 50, so she’ll be dangerous as well.
All eyes will be on reigning Olympic and world champion Kaylee McKeown in the women’s 100 back, as the 24-year-old superstar is coming off winning the 50 back on Monday despite pulling out of the 200 IM due to illness. McKeown currently ranks 3rd in the world this season with her time of 58.06 from April, and she’ll be aiming to take over the top spot from rival and world record holder Regan Smith, who went 57.49 last month.
The men’s schedule will kick off with the 200 freestyle, which should be an exciting race with no clear-cut favorite and relay spots on the line for this summer. Edward Sommerville was the only Aussie man under 1:45 last year in 1:44.93, and he leads the national rankings again this season with his 1:45.34 clocking from the Japan Open in November.
The men’s 100 back will be headlined by 17-year-old standout Henry Allan, who recovered from a slow start to secure a runner-up finish last night in the 50 back final, showing impressive over-the-water form that’s a good indicator for the 100. Isaac Cooper, who won the 50 back, led Allan through the heats by a small margin, 54.37 to 54.40.
Matt Temple has long been a dominant force on the domestic scene in the men’s 100 fly, and he popped off a stunning 50.60 swim in the prelims to move into 4th in the 2025-26 world rankings. Ben Armbruster has been impressive over the last year, breaking 51 last summer and clocking 51.22 at the Japan Open in November. Kyle Chalmers will also be one to watch in this event, kicking off his meet before his primary event, the 100 free, on Thursday.
