Complete list of all swimming medals won by Australia at the 2025 World Swimming Championships in Singapore.

If there are two names you should commit to memory ahead of the swimming program at the Brisbane 2032 Olympics, make them Sienna Toohey and Henry Allan. Sam Short showed he is in scintillating form ahead of the Commonwealth Games and Pan Pacs by winning his fourth event at the Australian trials in Sydney. Kaylee McKeown may physically feel like she is “86 years old” but the Australian star has not slowed down in the pool in pursuit of the Commonwealth Games.

Henry Allan’s late surge couldn’t catch Isaac Cooper, who secured the men’s 50 backstroke final win with a strong start and powerful underwater work. Perkins was the sole swimmer to dip under Australia’s 57.11 qualifying time. The 25-year-old’s 57.01 in the prelims ranks her 7th worldwide this season, and her final swim ties her with China’s Zhang Yufei for 6th place.

Williamson’s time in the 100 breaststroke stands out, leaving Gideon Burnes’ 27.44 and Joshua Anderson’s 27.68 over a full second behind. While Southam’s drop was notable (Jack Cartwright’s improvement from a 23.23 seed time to a 22.36 prelims result is more impressive), securing him the last final spot. Unexpectedly (Jamie Jack posted the morning’s fastest time of 21.98), earning lane 4 in the men’s 50 free final. Following her impressive 100 breaststroke performance, Sienna Toohey posted a 30.71 in the first heat of the women’s 200 breaststroke. With the circle-seeded heats complete — the top 8 for tonight’s final are likely set.

“I think to be one of the best athletes in the world you’ve always got to have … not negative thoughts in the back of your head — but you’ve always got to be harsh and that just leads a way for there to always be improvement,” McKeown said. That wasn’t the only bug in the system (with Hayley Mackinder completely missing the starter’s gun in the women’s 200m breaststroke), a race won by Tara Kinder as the 18-year-old sat poolside talking to officials. In the 50m breaststroke, 17-year-old Sienna Toohey earned victory in 30.39, just ahead of Mia O’Leary , 30.75, and fellow 17-year-old Lily Koch (31.25) in third. “There’s so many people that come and go and there’s so many other athletes who push me … so yes, people leave their legacy, but also it’s about yourself and motivation.” The 41 pool athletes join another three athletes already selected to Marathon Swimming for an overall swimming team size of 44 – with Moesha Johnson (already selected to compete in the 10km marathon swimming), also qualifying tonight in the women’s 1500m. Williamson, who admitted post-race that it’s been an emotional week as he returns from an injury that kept him out of the 2025 Trials, was seventh one-hundredths faster than he was in the prelims , 26.68,, which was his first time sub-27 this season.

Toohey’s performance secures her a spot on Australia’s senior team for the 2025 World Championships in Singapore — focusing on breaststroke events. Lani Pallister’s 2025 highlights include an 800 freestyle silver medal in Singapore Matildas news and betting and significant time drops. Athletes meeting qualifying times will be selected for both teams, with the top two in each event earning spots. After a grueling trials program, Short’s carbohydrate loading strategy may have contributed to his success. Both athletes are expected to swim the heats regardless.

• Her lifetime best stands at 56.19 (set in the semis of the 2025 World Championships), where she ultimately won bronze.
• Peaty was riddled with covid — Qin was having his sleep disturbed and Fink basically went the same time as he did in US trials a month or so earlier.
• O’Callaghan continued to lead at the 100 (hitting the halfway mark in 56.75), but certainly had slowed her pace as her 2nd 50 was just 30.11.
• Always in awe, well done beautiful people.
• Aussie swimmers consistently grace the podium, whether it’s the Olympics or the upcoming swimming world championships in Singapore.

Chalmers dived in with Australia in third place after earlier legs by Flynn Southam, Kai Taylor and Maximilliam Giuliani, but stormed home in 46.53 seconds to secure the victory. Boyd withdrew from the 200 IM earlier in the session to focus on this event and was rewarded with the 3rd seed tonight, using the fastest last 50 , 30.55, to stop the clock at 58.40, .11 ahead of Castelluzzo’s 58.51. Out in 26.45, Perkins used a strong back half of 30.56 to stop the clock at 57.01, a result that jumps her up one spot into a tie for 7th with Canada’s Summer McIntosh and more notably gets Perkins under the very stiff qualifying time of 57.11. Emily Jones — who was in Anderson’s heat, had an even more impressive drop, going from 28.32 to 27.90 to qualify 4th into the final.

Perhaps, given the success of the support dogs poolside on the Gold Coast, he may even be allowed some of that support network poolside. Williamson capped his comeback from that career-threatening knee injury — where he ruptured his patella tendon in a training accident, with a superb victory in the 50m breaststroke. With the retired Titmus watching on poolside on Wednesday night, O’Callaghan powered through the first half of the 200m final and was 0.81 of a second below a record split after 100m. “This is a team that will do Australia proud – in and out of the pool – and we can’t wait to see competition unfold in Saint-Denis at the Centre Aquatique Olympique and in the Seine. “This team is balanced by debutants through to record breakers and stalwarts – from Cam McEvoy and Bronte Campbell at their fourth Games, through to rookies Ben Armbruster and Olivia Wunsch. “Congratulations to every single Dolphin selected for Paris 2024 – you have earned your place on the Australian Swimming Team and congratulations also to your friends (families), coaches and supporters – all of you have been part of this Olympic achievement.

Flynn Southam improved his personal best by 0.13 seconds, claiming 3rd place in 21.72 and likely qualifying for Commonwealth and Pan Pac teams. After a 21.84 5th place finish at the Australian Trials (Jack set a new lifetime best of 21.43 last summer), moving him to 7th in the world this season.

A group of Queensland swimmers (dressed as frogs), have been attending the event for several years. It’s easier to get nude with 3,000 others, and the water is fantastic,” said one participant. The swim is the concluding event of the two-week Dark Mofo arts festival. Celebrate longer days with a refreshing plunge in cold water. Henry Allan missed the start, recovered well, but ran out of pool before finishing. Despite illness, Adam Peaty, Qin Haiyang, and Kevin Fink performed as expected in the 100 breaststroke.
