PERTH – USA Swimming selected its four captains for this week\u2019s BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series, which opens Friday at Perth\u2019s HBF Stadium. <\/p>\n

The 27-member roster voted Cammile Adams (Cypress, Texas) and Madison Kennedy (Avon, Conn.) the women\u2019s captains and Cullen Jones (Irvington, N.J.) and Darian Townsend (Phoenix, Ariz.) as the men\u2019s captains.<\/p>\n

Featuring teams from the U.S., Australia, China and Japan, the pool competition for the BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series is slated for Friday and Saturday, followed by Sunday\u2019s Swim the Swan open water 10-kilometer race. <\/p>\n

In the pool, Team USA will be led by Olympic gold medalists Ryan Lochte (Daytona Beach, Fla.), Tyler Clary (Riverside, Calif.) and Jones on the men\u2019s side, with Adams and fellow 2012 Olympians Micah Lawrence (Pflugerville, Texas) and Shannon Vreeland (Overland Park, Kansas) pacing the women. <\/p>\n

Reigning Pan Pacific Championships 10K gold medalists Haley Anderson (Granite Bay, Calif.) and Andrew Gemmell (Wilmington, Del.) will lead the U.S. in the open water event. Click here for a complete Team USA roster.<\/p>\n

Both women\u2019s captains, along with Townsend, are first-time captains for Team USA on the international stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been voted a captain before, so this is extremely exciting and humbling,\u201d said Adams. \u201cTo be able to come here and represent the United States is an honor.\u201d

\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly cool to be recognized by your teammates,\u201d Kennedy added. \u201cI\u2019ve always looked up to past captains so to be named one is pretty surreal.\u201d

Townsend, who became a U.S. citizen in 2014, competed at the 2014 FINA Short Course World Championships for Team USA. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was totally unexpected to be named a team captain in just my second international event representing the U.S.,\u201d said Townsend. \u201cIt\u2019s a huge honor to even be named on the team roster, let alone be voted a captain.\u201d

Jones, who was a team captain at the 2013 Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool, enjoys the veteran role he plays on Team USA.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s cool to have people look up to me and see me as a veteran on the team,\u201d said Jones. \u201cBeing able to spread some of the wisdom that was bestowed upon me by people like Jason Lezak, Brendan Hansen and Aaron Peirsol, I kind of feel like I\u2019m passing the torch on.\u201d
