Australia takes 35-strong swim team to Tokyo

Australia will take a 35-strong swim team to Tokyo for next month's Olympics following six-day trials that witnessed a world record, four new Commonwealth marks and a host of national bests.

Swimming has long been the medal-winning backbone of the country, which claimed 10 in the pool at the 2016 Games in Rio, matching its feat from London four years earlier.

But those performances were down on the 20 won at Beijing in 2008 and hopes are high the team can edge back towards those lofty heights next month.

They head to Japan with some serious gold medal contenders, led by Kaylee McKeown, Ariarne Titmus and Emma McKeon, with defending 100m champion Kyle Chalmers spearheading the men's side.

The squad boasts 21 debutants, but also Emily Seebohm and Cate Campbell who join former great Leisel Jones as the only Australian swimmers to ever make four Olympics.

"I've been really pleased with the performances this week," said head coach Rohan Taylor.

"I feel we have a strong team, and I'm particularly pleased with the strength of our relays, it shows the fantastic depth in this squad.

"We have a big five weeks ahead of us," he added. "Now it's about preparing our athletes for what they'll experience and get them ready to perform on the biggest stage in the world in Tokyo."
