Referring to being asked as to whether this is the best team ever, Taylor added that the Australian Olympic team’s “daily performance environment training standards are world’s best – the expectation and execution of their skills work is at the highest level … with skills at the highest level all the time that they repeat under pressure.”

Commenting on the success of SWIMCON24, SCTA/SWIM Chief Executive, Brendon Ward, stated “we couldn’t do this without partners, sponsors and exhibitors and have been blessed … key people in front of our audience.”
