It was another intense day of action at the 2025 Australian World Championship Trials with multiple newcomers making their first senior international long course Australian roster.

Among them was 21-year-old Harrison Turner who busted out the swim of his life to take the men’s 200m butterfly in a Singapore-worthy time.

Turner cranked out a lifetime best of 1:54.90 to easily clear the Swimming Australia-mandated qualification mark of 1:56.03.

Entering this competition, Turner’s previous career-swiftest performance rested at the 1:57.07 from last year’s Olympic Trials. As we reported, however, all of a sudden he now sits within just a half second of Nick D’arcy’s national record.

Ben Goedemans was another breakout swimmer from tonight’s session, posting a mark of 7:46.16 to take silver in the men’s 800m free behind Sam Short who logged 7:40.95 as the gold medalist.

This marked Goedemans’ first-ever outing under the 7:50 barrier, carrying a previous PB of 7:52.52 into this meet from April’s Australian National Championships. His performance this evening rocketed him up the list of all-time Aussie performers to now occupy slot #8.

Additional qualifiers this evening included Mollie O’Callaghan and Lani Pallister earning each earning a bid in the women’s 200m free while Cameron McEvoy and Kyle Chalmers both made the Singapore grade in the men’s 50m freestyle.
