2026 New South Wales Short Course State Championships
August 21-23, 2026 Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre Short Course Meters (25m) Meet Central Live ResultsAustralia has found its newest sprint star. 18-year-old Ollie Moclair broke Cam McEvoy‘s National Age Record in the 50 free in short course twice in the same session last week at the New South Wales State Championships.
Moclair first won the individual 50 free in 21.12, which broke McEvoy’s 2012 record of 21.36. He then led off Southport Olympic’s 200 meter free relay in 21.08 to break his own record again.
Moclair trains with the Southport Olympic Swim Club, the same club that McEvoy swam for when he broke the previous record.
It has been a while since anybody has even challenged this record, let alone broken it. The most recent swimmer in the top 5 all-time besides Moclair is Kyle Chalmers, who swam 21.56 in 2016.

Coming into 2026, he had been as fast as 21.69.
The drop comes after a successful long course season for Moclair. At the Australian Age Championships, he swam 21.73 that currently ranks him just outside of the world top 25.
He is the 4th-fastest Australian man in the long course version of the event this season behind McEvoy, Jamie Jack (21.35), and Flynn Southam (21.44).
Those swims were Moclair’s only two races of the meet, and came a week before his August 31 birthday.
