What a great week was had at the 2026 Australian Swimming Trials at Sydney Olympic Park last week. For young swimmers attending this competition, it can be an unforgettable and highly motivating experience to see Australian's biggest stars racing head to head.
The music, light shows, athlete introduction and big screens made the finals sessions a great atmosphere.
We are very proud of our 3 Manta Rays, Jett, Freya and Chase.
Jett achieved a pb in his 100m backstroke placing 26th and 30th in his 50m backstroke and was close to his pb's in his other events.
Well done to Freya and Chase who both swum just outside their pb's which indicates consistency and strong form heading into future competitions.
Thank you to coach Ruth for coming and supporting our athletes.

Good luck to our team.⭐️⭐️⭐️

Congratulations to Jett Burke on his selection into two high- performance swimming programs.

🏊‍♀️Swimming Australia Next Wave invitational competition camp at the AIS in Canberra.
This camp brings together the best performing Age group swimmers in the country to gain team and race experience.

🏊‍♀️SNSW Futures Squad, also held at the AIS.
A Swimming NSW pathway squad designed to develop some of the state's most promising and emerging swimmers focusing on vital areas such as race skills & race modelling alongside the expertise of a dedicated science support team.

Selection into these camps are due to the hard work, commitment and dedication Jett has put into his swimming and his results at the 2026 Australian Age Championships in April.

Congratulations Jett and to coach Ruth Everuss
