For headliners like Emma McKeon, Ariarne Titmus and Kaylee McKeown, a 14-day pause from the outside world may be just what they need to digest what transpired in the Olympic pool | phillutton78
Mojo located, memories made, records broken, the Australian swimming team has checked out of the Tokyo Olympic Village to return for two weeks of quarantine and a well-earned break.
Before that, there will be a pair of FINA World Championships plus a Commonwealth Games, and all the various trials and domestic meetings along the way. Managing that workload, balancing rest, and attempting to provide some certainty in an uncertain racing climate will be among Swimming Australia’s biggest tests.
Medallists Emily Seebohm, Kaylee McKeown, Cate Campbell, Emma McKeon, Ariarne Titmus and Izaac Stubblety-Cook.Taylor and the high-performance team have had no choice but to get ahead of the curve and with success in Tokyo will come added expectation. The next World Championships are in May next year in the Japanese city of Fukuoka, then the team will head towards the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Meetings will be added to keep the Commonwealth Games swimmers active before they join forces with the main group and head to England to do battle in Birmingham.
