Australian swim stars Ariarne Titmus, Mack Horton, Emma McKeon, Grant Irvine and more all put together a relaxed morning session on day four of the 2018 Australian Pac Pacific Trials.

Many swimmers, however, were at or under their preliminary/semi-final times from the recent Commonwealth Games where the Aussies shook up the world rankings. A quick swim or two in tonight’s finals is not out of the question.

Men’s 200 IM MC Prelims

Day four prelims started off with the men’s multi-class 200 IM. Matthew Levy (2:37.08) narrowly out-scored Timothy Disken (2:19.35) by just two multi-class points to earn the top seed. Timothy Hodge earn the third seed in 2:20.55 while Liam Schluter swam the fastest race in 2:17.74.

Women’s 100 Fly Prelims

Emma McKeon swam a quick 57.98 100 Fly – the time is just four one-hundredths off her semi-finals swim from the Commonwealth Games and faster than prelims race, so she will be one to keep an eye on in tonight’s finals.

An Se-hyeon of South Korea took second in 59.24, followed closely by Brianna Throssell in 59.90. Throssell is Australia’s third swimmer in the World top ten rankings behind McKeon and Madeline Groves.
