Gold Coast locals and swimming fans will be treated to a star-studded preview of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) as Swimming Australia announce the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre (GCAC) as the host venue for the 2018 Hancock Prospecting Australian Swimming Trials.<\/p>\n

Just five weeks before the Games kick off the swimmers will put on a curtain raiser like no other at the newly refurbished GCAC.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0February 28 to March 3<\/span>, the Gold Coast will play host to the best swimmers from across the country as they race for the chance to represent Australia on home soil at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

Olympic gold medallists\u00a0Mack Horton<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Kyle Chalmers<\/strong>\u00a0will be on show with Chalmers taking on hometown hero\u00a0Cameron McEvoy<\/strong>\u00a0in the edge-of-your-seat sprint events, and Horton racing the clock in one of Australia\u2019s favourite events, the men\u2019s 1500m freestyle.<\/p>\n

World record holders in the 4x100m freestyle relay;\u00a0Cate<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Bronte Campbell<\/strong>,\u00a0Emma McKeon<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Brittany Elmslie<\/strong>\u00a0will be fighting for an individual spot in the women\u2019s 100m free while in the backstroke events both\u00a0Emily Seebohm<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Mitch Larkin<\/strong>\u00a0will be looking to reign supreme.<\/p>\n

The Commonwealth Games is also one of the only international events that allows our Para and able bodied athletes to compete together, and the 2018 Hancock Prospecting Australian Swimming Trials will be no different.<\/p>\n

Paralympic stars\u00a0Daniel Fox<\/strong>,\u00a0Ellie Cole<\/strong>,\u00a0Brendan Hall<\/strong>,\u00a0Madi Scott,<\/strong>\u00a0Timothy Disken<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Matt Levy<\/strong>,\u00a0will all be on show.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swimming Australia CEO\u00a0Mark Anderson<\/strong>\u00a0said the GCAC was the ideal location for the Swimming trials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gold Coast Aquatic Centre is a state of the art location and will no doubt be a fantastic backdrop for the athletes as they race at the biggest domestic event on the swimming calendar,\u201d Anderson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to extend my thanks to GOLDOC, Tourism and Events Queensland and Commonwealth Games Australia for their support in bringing this event to the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, and the ongoing support of our principal partners Optus and Hancock Prospecting, this is a great result for swimming.\u201d<\/p>\n

The last night of competition will feature the announcement of the Commonwealth Games Swim Team and Anderson said the Trials were a great opportunity for those that missed out on Commonwealth Games tickets to still be a part of the action.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fortunate in that Swimming tickets at the Commonwealth Games were in high demand and so to have the Swimming trials at the same venue as the Commonwealth Games, and just five weeks prior, will be a great opportunity for anyone that missed out on tickets to be a part of the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2018 Hancock Prospecting Australian Swimming Trials will provide our swimmers with an ideal opportunity to perform in the venue just five weeks prior to the Commonwealth Games in front of a home audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will provide spectators with a wonderful opportunity to see the Aussies race live before they take on some of the strongest swimming nations in the world and, we are pleased that our broadcast partner Channel 7 will be broadcasting this event live to sports and swimming fans right around Australia,\u201d Anderson said.<\/p>\n

Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation Chairman,\u00a0Peter Beattie AC<\/strong>\u00a0said the event would provide key learnings for the organisation ahead of GC2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese trials will provide a great lead-in to GC2018 for both Swimming Australia and GOLDOC and will set the scene for what will be the biggest sporting event in Australia this decade,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event will act as a key operational trial ahead of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, with major involvement from GOLDOC staff in the planning and operational delivery of the event.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2018 Hancock Prospecting Australian Swimming Trials is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland as part of the\u00a0It\u2019s Live! in Queensland\u00a0<\/em>major events calendar.<\/p>\n

The Acting Minister for Education, Tourism, Major Events and the Commonwealth Games,\u00a0Grace Grace<\/strong>\u00a0said securing this event is wonderful news for Queensland and promotes the Gold Coast as a world-class sporting events destination ahead of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to welcoming swimming athletes from around the country, their supporters and fans to the state-of-the-art Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, and invite all to stay on and holiday on the Gold Coast,\u201d Grace said.<\/p>\n

Commonwealth Games Australia CEO\u00a0Craig Phillips<\/strong>\u00a0said he welcomed the opportunity for Australia\u2019s leading swimmers to take to the water on the Gold Coast in preparation for the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommonwealth Games Australia has worked closely with Swimming Australia on a program that best suits athlete preparation for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games,\u201d Phillips said.<\/p>\n

We hope that these trials, contested close to the Games and at the Games pool, will ensure our swimmers are prepared for success at the Commonwealth Games.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event is set to transform the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre with the hugely popular Centre Lane; food and entertainment precinct, returning for 2018 adding an exciting element to an already entertaining sporting event.<\/p>\n

Centre Lane will be the one-stop-shop for food, drinks, entertainment, and sponsor merchandise including activations from Optus, arena, the classic COON cheese toastie truck plus many more.<\/p>\n

Paralympic silver medallist and local Gold Coast resident\u00a0Monique Murphy<\/strong>\u00a0said she is excited to be able to race in front of a home crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of my family live in Brisbane so I\u2019m excited to have the chance to race in front of them,\u201d Murphy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am lucky enough to call the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre my home pool! It is a fantastic facility and training and racing in the Queensland sun never fails to motivate me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I\u2019ve only been on the Gold Coast a short time, the sense of community and support is powerful and I am looking forward to showing everyone what I\u2019m capable of,\u201d Murphy said.<\/p>\n

Fellow Gold Coaster and dual Olympian\u00a0James Roberts<\/strong>\u00a0echoed Murphy\u2019s sentiments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so excited\u00a0to race trials and potentially compete at a home Commonwealth Games here on the Gold Coast,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be different to race in an open-air pool, but I think\u00a0it will have a relaxed, Gold Coast feel and provide a great atmosphere behind the blocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be amazing to see a full stadium cheering us on and will no doubt give everyone that little boost that can make a huge difference on the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

There will also be a strong community connection in the event with volunteer roles and opportunities open to locals young and old, including basket handling, volunteering, club relays, Optus Junior Dolphin carnivals and Junior Excellence clinics.<\/p>\n

Those lucky enough to be involved in club relays will even get the chance to race in the same pool as the stars of the Commonwealth Games, just weeks before the event.<\/p>\n
