GOLD COAST SWIMMERS TO WATCH AS THEY CHASE BERTH IN GAMES TEAM

Has the fastest time in history in a textile suit in the 100m. Looking to get back to his best as he tries to seal places in the 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle.

Young gun bidding for first Games team. Will have to drop time from his personal bests but bursting with confidence after great summer of racing.

Made name as a backstroker and while she will contest that at these trials, is gunning for an individual swim in the 200m freestyle and relay place after joining Richard Scarce’s Bond squad.

A member of Australia’s team at the world championships last year, Graham has one of the fastest nomination times heading into today’s stacked 200m freestyle. A star of Australia’s last Olympic and world titles teams, McKeon could end up with as many as seven swims at the Games. Will star again this week.

Missed last year’s world championship team but heads into today’s 200m freestyle with one of the fastest nomination times. Gunning for a relay spot at least. Pickett has won gold in the 50m breaststroke at the past two Commonwealth Games but is likely to need to qualify through the 100m to win her place on a home Games team.

Ranks as fifth-fastest Australian all time in the 100m freestyle and desperate to earn a spot for a home Games. Will challenge in the 50m and 100m.
