RISING Australian swimming star Leigh McBean will take another major step towards realising his sporting dreams when he dives into the Osaka Pool tomorrow on day one of the 2001 East Asian Games.<\/p>\n<p>McBean, 19, has been one of Australian Swimming\u2019s quiet achievers in his quest to one day represent his country at the Pan Pacific, Commonwealth Games, World Championships and the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I guess this is another step up the ladder,&quot; said the first year E-commerce and finance student at Bond University.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Over the past 12 months I have been to Edinburgh for the Commonwealth Youth Games, Sydney for this year\u2019s Youth Olympics and now Osaka for the East Asian Games.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It has been a steady climb and one which I have enjoyed immensely and I am looking forward to some tough opposition here in Osaka.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>McBean, who\u2019s father Steve once competed in the original Coolangatta Gold, will himself take on an iron man task here.<\/p>\n<p>He will start his busy week when he joins Telopea\u2019s Nic Williams in the 200 metres freestyle on day one before lining up in the men\u2019s 4x200m freestyle relay on Day Two.<\/p>\n<p>Day three will see him line up in his specialist 200m backstroke, then the 4x100m freestyle relay on Day four before the men\u2019s 100m backstroke on Day Five.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the times, it will be either McBean or Beau Mannix who will then line up in the Australian 4x100m medley relay.<\/p>\n<p>Other Day One competitors will be Kate Krywulycz and Melinda Geraghty in the women\u2019s 100m freestyle; Jim Piper and Jarrad Church in the men\u2019s 100m breaststroke; and Melissa Morgan and Yvette Rodier in the women\u2019s 400m individual medley.Australia will send a team of 31 swimmers, including Olympians Trent Steed and Robert Van Der Zant to this year\u2019s 2001 East Asian Games in Osaka, Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Steed, a gold medalist in the 400 metres individual medley at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, represented Australia at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>2000 Olympian and Commonwealth Games representative Van Der Zant will also join him on the 14 strong men\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>Australian Swimming\u2019s youth policy is also starting to prove fruitful with the selection of 10 members of the Dolphins team which dominated the 2000 Sydney Olympic Youth Festival in January.<\/p>\n<p>Freestylers Stephen Penfold (Miami) and Kate Krywulycz (SLC Aquadot) who between them won seven gold medals at the Youth Festival will lead the next generation of Australia\u2019s swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>They will be joined by fellow Festival team-mates Andrew Affleck (Gardens Queensland), Andrew Burns (Toongabbie), Leigh McBean (Miami), Nic Williams (Telepea), Georgina Bartlett (Melbourne Vicentre), Lara Davenport (Galston), Melissa Morgan (Burnside) and Kelli Waite (Yeronga Park).<\/p>\n<p>Jim Piper, who is the current World Cup recorder holder for 200m breaststroke, who finished third in that event, at the Telstra Australia Swimming Championship in a time of 2:13.32, would have won him any previous Australian title.<\/p>\n<p>The East Asian Games, to be conducted  between  May 21-27, will see Australia field it\u2019s third largest team ever assembled. <\/p>\n<p>Australia is sending a team of 300 athletes to Osaka, which ranks only behind Sydney (632 athletes) and Atlanta (426 athletes). There were 292 athletes in Barcelona in 1992<\/p>\n<p>Besides being a key part of Australia\u2019s development strategy for youth , the East Asian Games is an event the Australian Olympic Committee is convinced will grow in stature in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>The following swimmers are members of the 2001 East Asian Games team:<\/p>\n<p>Men<br \/>\n\tAndrew\tAffleck\t18\tGardens\tQLD<br \/>\n\tAndrew\tBurns\t18\tToongabbie\tNSW<br \/>\n\tJarrad\tChurch\t19\tPeel Aquatic\tWA<br \/>\n\tShane\tFielding\t20\tST Peters Western\tQLD<br \/>\n\tStephen\tGoudie\t21\tNunawading\tVIC<br \/>\n\tBeau\tMannix\t20\tSandy Bay\tTAS<br \/>\n\tLeigh\tMcBean\t17\tMiami\tQLD<br \/>\n\tStephen\tPenfold\t18\tMiami\tQLD<br \/>\n\tJim\tPiper\t19\tCambelltown\tNSW<br \/>\n\tBurl\tReid\t22\tCommercial\tQLD<br \/>\n\tGreg\tShaw\t24\tChandler\tQLD<br \/>\n\tTrent\tSteed\t23\tCambelltown\tNSW<br \/>\n\tRobert\tVan Der Zant\t26\tYeronga Park\tQLD<br \/>\n\tNic\tWilliams\t18\tTelopea\tNSW<\/p>\n<p> Women<br \/>\n\tJessica\tAbbott\t15\tHurstville Aquatic\tNSW<br \/>\n\tFrancis\tAdcock\t16\tWestern Sharks\tSA<br \/>\n\tGeorgina\tBartlett\t17\tMelbourne Vicentre\tVIC<br \/>\n\tChloe\tBennett\t15\tAll Saints\tQLD<br \/>\n\tLara\tDavenport\t17\tGalston\tNSW<br \/>\n\tSophie\tEdington\t16\tLoxton\tSA<br \/>\n\tFelicity\tGalvez\t16\tWilkinson\tNSW<br \/>\n\tMelinda\tGeraghty\t21\tCommercial\tQLD<br \/>\n\tSarah\tKasoulis\t16\tCarey Aquatic\tVIC<br \/>\n\tKate\tKrywulycz\t16\tSLC Aquadot\tNSW<br \/>\n\tBrooke\tMartin\t16\tForresters Beach Indoor\tNSW<br \/>\n\tMelissa\tMorgan\t16\tBurnside\tSA<br \/>\n\tYvette\tRodier\t19\tBHP Hunter\tNSW<br \/>\n\tRebekah\tRychvalsky\t18\tGalston\tNSW<br \/>\n\tTammie\tSmith\t17\tNewman Churchlands\tWA<br \/>\n\tKelli\tWaite\t16\tYeronga Park\tQLD<br \/>\n\tJordana\tWebb\t18\tCarey Aquatic\tVIC<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nCheck out our featured Product !!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/swiminfo.com\/swimshop\/shop_detail.asp?iPid=306&#038;iCatId=3\n\t Total Immersion -4 stroke combo Videos and Book<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Check out our featured Product !!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/swiminfo.com\/swimshop\/shop_detail.asp?iPid=495&#038;iCatId=495\n\t Neosoma Total Care Package <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ian Hanson OSAKA, may 20.
