Kaylee McKeown, Lani Pallister Among Stars Headed To Aussie SC Championships

2024 AUSTRALIAN SHORT COURSE CHAMPIONSHIPS

The 2024 Australian Short Course Championships are nearly upon us with action kicking off Thursday, September 26th from the SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre.

With the competition coming on the heels of the Olympic Games, the entry lists are missing several big guns including Ariarne Titmus, Kyle Chalmers and Cameron McEvoy.

However, a healthy amount of top-tier talent is heading to the 4-day affair, with the championships representing one of the qualifying opportunities for December’s Short Course World Championships.

i think SCM has potential to be an awesome race to watch between them, especially with regan having the faster 100 LCM PB and excellent underwaters but kaylee tending to have the H2H advantage in the individual events of recent years! Would probably give Kaylee the 200 advantage but the shorter distances i think regan has the potential to show great times if she hits her taper/rest for SCM worlds
