18-year-old Ariarne Titmus threw down the swim of her life with a monster 1:54.30 200m freestyle tonight in South Australia, taking the National Title in a new Australian Record, Commonwealth Record and All Comers Record mark.
The Commonwealth Games multi-gold medalist split the race beautifully, opening in 56.06 and coming home in 58.24 for her best time by over half a second over the 1:54.85 she put up on the Gold Coast last year.

Her back and bum were almost dry the whole race. And she had great rhythm and tempo. I am also impressed by the breathing pattern.
Breathed every 4 almost the whole way, never seen that for a 200
indeed , and what a speed from the 100 mark onwards ….Incredible !!!!
MERRY TITMUS!
