- Wednesday, August 24th – Saturday, August 27th
- Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Center
- SCM (25m)
- Entry List
The 2022 Australian Short Course Championships kick off tomorrow, Wednesday, August 24th, with a mountain of green and gold talent heading to Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Center.
Several stars are racing on the heels of the Duel in the Pool, where Australia hosted an American contingent, with the stars n’ stripes ultimately beating the Aussies in a meet filled with unconventional events.
At these Championships, we’ll see the likes of Kyle Chalmers, Emma McKeon, Kaylee McKeown, Mollie O’Callaghan and Madi Wilson.
Chalmers stuck to butterfly events for his individual races at the Commonwealth Games, although he nabbed 3 relay gold medals and 1 silver.
For McKeon’s part, the 28-year-old became the most decorated athlete in Commonwealth Games history.
We’ll also see Isaac Cooper take on several events, with the 18-year-old having been sent home from the Commonwealth Games due to wellbeing challenges.
Americans Attending Too
Several American swimmers who competed in last week’s made-for-TV Duel in the Pool event, are hanging around to race at Short Course Nationals. Among those names include Trenton Julian, Luke Hobson, Grant House, Beata Nelson, Justin Ress, David Johnston, and para-swimmer Jamal Hill will represent the US at this meet. Johnston and Hobson will return to the University of Texas Longhorns, where classes began on Monday.
The meet’s program of events is as follows:

While it’s not swum that often by US swimmers an amazing swim by David Johnston in the 800m setting a new US record by 6 seconds. 7:30 is hauling!
Did a double take with Luke Hobson in 50 free? But then I saw a 19.98 yard from high school what range! Maybe Eddie considering him for 4×50 free relay…they have some holes to fill.
Men’s 50 fly doesn’t update to me, does someone know the results?
Temple: 22.70 , Quach: 22.85 , Morgan: 22.92 , Simpson: 23.06 , Champion: 23.08
Pallister Australian record 15.24.63
Might not be long until she gets under 15:20.
She lapped the entire field!
4th fastest time ever I think.
Chalmers 1:40.98. That’s fast.
I guess when he said he won’t swim 200 free anymore he only meant long course.
Do we know the american selection criteria for SC Worlds? hope it’s not the same of 2021 otherwise Beata Nelson risks to be out of the team
Cooper missed the 100 back QT. Quite slow field behind Nikolaev.
Nelson beats Mckeown wow
Nelson’s underwaters are very good.
And Kaylee’s are still a bit off. United States of Backstroke is unrelenting, especially in SC. At least Mollie PB’d.
