favourite among spectators and encouraged the public to get out and support the competitors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s great to have the Open Water Swimming Championships back in Adelaide again, following on from the success of the 2017 event,\u201d Minister Bignell said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve invested an additional $70 million in tourism funding to market South Australia nationally and internationally and attract major events and conferences \u2013 which includes securing five major swimming events for the State in the next three years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe influx of visitors from these events helps support South Australia\u2019s record $6.3 billion visitor economy and I know local businesses will make them feel very welcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSouth Australia has some of the best beaches in the world and it\u2019s fantastic to have opportunities like this to show them off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to hosting swimmers from across the country at beautiful Brighton beach and I wish all competitors luck this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open Water Program Manager and Swimming Australia\u2019s Pathway Performance Manager\u00a0<strong>Jamie Salter<\/strong>\u00a0said this was the first step in the qualification process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe wanted to make 2018 about quality international racing exposure which is why we made the World Cups part of the Pan Pacs qualification process,\u201d Salter said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis weekend we will support the top four male and top four female swimmers from the national 10km events to race at the Doha (17\/03), Portugal (9\/06) and Balatonfured (16\/06) FINA Open Water World Cups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom here, the swimmers will gain points depending on their finishing position and will have also, hopefully, gained confidence and vital experience from the qualification process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of those vying for vital selection points will be up and comer, Signorini a self-confessed water lover who has swum almost every day for the past 10 months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have been lucky enough to swim all round the world in London, Wales, Fiji, Hawaii, Hong Kong and almost every swim there is around Australia \u2013 from Palm Beach to Manly and Bondi,\u201d Signorini said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cI have lost count just how many swims I\u2019ve done and\u00a0at last count, I reckon it\u2019s been 10 months since I missed a day in the water and that was only because I flew to England.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s either training at Manly or Narrabeen pools under my coach Justin Rothwell at the Carlile Swim Club, in the surf at Narrabeen or Newport or in the pool at home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a rare day that I\u2019m not in the water, either the pool or the surf.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cI can\u2019t get enough of it \u2013 it\u2019s just what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Signorini isn\u2019t slowing down, taking on a number of pool and ocean swims in the last week alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An ambassador for Australia Swims, Signorini raced at the NSW State Swimming Championships last weekend in the 400 and 1500m freestyle events, and tackled the 2km Optus Swim Sydney Harbour\u00a0<span data-term=\"goog_320432040\">on Saturday<\/span>, taking line honours ahead of Iron Man Champion\u00a0<strong>Ali Day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His competition this weekend will come in the form of World Championship debutant from 2017, 18-year-old\u00a0<strong>Jack Brazier<\/strong>\u00a0and 2013 and 2015 World Championship representative 29-year-old\u00a0<strong>Simon Huitenga<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold medallist from the 2017 Australian Open Water Championships and Canadian representative at the 2017 FINA Open Water World Championships in Budapest, Canada\u2019s <strong>Eric Hedlin<\/strong> will once again be in the mix for a medal and no doubt hoping to replicate his results from last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the corresponding 10km women\u2019s event,\u00a0<strong>Chelsea Gubecka<\/strong>\u00a0will be hoping to take the Australian 10km title for the fourth time in her career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 19-year-old who won her first Australian title in 2013 will have to get the better of younger sister and prot\u00e9g\u00e9\u00a0<strong>Chloe<\/strong>\u00a0and her fellow training partner\u00a0<strong>Mackenzie Brazier<\/strong>\u00a0who will both be looking for their breakthrough swim.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep an eye on World Championship representative\u00a0<strong>Kareena Lee<\/strong>\u00a0who could also challenge for the title.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three day program will incorporate a range of events including 5, 7.5 and 10km events plus a 2.5km Junior Excellence clinic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Races will start from\u00a0<span data-term=\"goog_320432041\">7am<\/span>\u00a0with performances and temperatures both set to sizzle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:
