2025 AUSTRALIAN SWIMMING TRIALS

Kyle Chalmers won the 50 fly on the final day of competition at the 2025 Australian Trials, erasing the All Comers record in the process.

The three-time Olympian clocked a 22.89 to become the first sub-23 swim on Australian soil. Previously, the fastest swim inside Australian borders belonged to Ben Armbruster at the 2023 Australian championships.

The swim also ties Chalmers’ personal best time. The 26-year-old sprint ace also registered a 22.89 in April at the Malmsten Open in Stockholm. The time ranks at #7 globally for the season so far.

Kyle won’t swim this at Singapore, saving himself for the relay.

USA men are not very good at this event. No one even in the top 10.
