Ariarne Titmus broke the women's 200m freestyle world record at the Australian swimming trials in Brisbane, securing her spot in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Titmus credited her coach Dean Boxall for their training success.
Mollie O’Callaghan, Titmus' training partner, had already qualified in the 100m backstroke.
Elijah Winnington, Cam McEvoy, and Tim Hodge also delivered impressive performances, with Hodge setting a world record in the men's 200m multi-class individual medley.
The night ended with anticipation for Kaylee McKeown's attempt to break her own world record in the women's 200m backstroke.
The final Olympic team will be announced on Saturday, requiring swimmers to finish in the top two and meet qualifying times.
Coach Boxall's unique coaching tactics, which emphasize individual race plans and fostering competitiveness, are instrumental to Australia's success at the upcoming Olympics.
