A very promising Australian breaststroker, Sienna Toohey, almost broke Leisel Jones' 14 year old age record (1:08.30) in the 100 breast (long course) earlier today clocking 1:08.39.  Australia has been struggling to find a breaststroker that  can consistently compete with the world's best since Jones left her prime more than a decade ago and Toohey is looking very promising and she's more sprint oriented than Jones was.

Draft entry lists for Edinburgh International Meet in early March have been published. As expected, there's plenty of :GBR names there - including a lot of our prospective Olympic team - but also a fair few swimmers from :IRL :NED :FRA

The first biggish Australian meet, Vic Open, will be on next weekend where we're get our first look at McKeon, McKeown, Pallister, Ikee and a few others. McKeown in particular usually produces some impressive swims early in the season. Psych sheet

 

The next one after that is in mid March which should have a much bigger field and usually gives a pretty good picture of who's on track to have a big year.
