The first finals session of the Australian Swimming Championships will commence with the 200 freestyle, followed by the 100 breast, 50 back, and 400 IM and we will end things off with the 4×200 freestyle relay. Among those matchups that will surely make for a solid race will be Zac Stubbletly-Cook against Jake Packard and Matthew Wilson in the men’s 100 breast.
While this meet doesn’t constitute Australia’s selection meet for the Tokyo Olympics, we’ll be sure to see some fast racing as Olympic hopefuls get in one last chance to chance on the national scene before June’s Olympic Trials. Follow along below to stay up to date as we provide live results and analysis of the 2021 Australian Swimming Championships.
