Australia's Olympic swimming team is made up of 44 swimmers, comprising 21 women and 23 men. Impressively, Australia has the number 1 ranked swimmer in now fewer than 6 events.
How many gold medals will Australian swimmers win?
Australia claimed a total of 20 medals in the pool at the Tokyo Olympics, including 9 gold.
The team will be competing in 30 events during Paris 2024.
So how many medals can the Dolphins claim this time around? While a repeat of Tokyo's record-breaking haul seems unlikely, there are still plenty of chances for victory in the pool.
Our highest hopes lie with Ariarne Titmus, Kaylee McKeown and Cam McEvoy. Sam Short, Elijah Winnington, Mollie O'Callaghan, Kyle Chalmers and Zac Stubblety-Cook are also strong contenders for gold.
Australian swimmers to watch
With more than 40 Australian swimmers set to appear on the starting platform, there's no shortage of medal contenders at this year's Olympics. Here are a few stars to keep an eye on.
Kaylee McKeown
Kaylee McKeown is currently ranked fastest in the world in the 100m backstroke, 200m backstroke and 200m individual medley. She will compete in all 3 events at Paris.
Ariarne Titmus
Titmus is the odds-on favourite to win the 200m and 400m freestyle. She will also compete in the 800m freestyle.
Cam McEvoy
Swimming veteran Cam McEvoy will be looking to pull a Kieran Perkins by capping off a lengthy career with one final gold in the pool. Look for him in the men's 50m freestyle event.
Kyle Chalmers
Sprint swimmer extraordinaire Kyle Chalmers will be competing in the 100m freestyle.
Zac Stubblety-Cook
Stubblety-Cook will be looking to win back-to-back gold in the 200m breaststroke following his win at the Tokyo Olympics.
Samuel Short
With the 400m, 800m and 1500m freestyle up for grabs, Short is a strong chance for a medal.
