Photo Courtesy: Delly Carr (Swimming Australia).<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cMy goal this meet is to try to make that final in the 100 fly&#8230;.as long as I&#8217;m improving, that&#8217;s all I can really ask for. As long as I&#8217;m doing PBs, which I&#8217;ve been doing every time so far,\u201d said Simpson, who was ranked 13<sup>th<\/sup> coming into the meet.<\/p>\n<p>The 24 year-old\u2019s well documented journey with US-base Australian coach, Olympian Brett Hawke on the Amazon Prime Video \u201cHead Above Water\u201d has brought a new-found profile to the sport \u2013 and few fans as well.<\/p>\n<p>One of the poster boys of these Trials, with his image front and centre from the airport to the shopping centres and the forecourt SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Simpson, who said he has been non stop on his transition from stage to pool deck, will spend a week on a surfing safari after returning to the Gold Coast tomorrow, but then its back into it for the Short Course season, stepping up the hard yards.<\/p>\n<p>Simpson is under the direction of one of Australia\u2019s most respected Olympic coaches in Michael Bohl, at Griffith University.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cody\u2019s been good, he&#8217;s like a little kid in a candy shop, I think he&#8217;s excited to be back,\u201d said Bohl<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the course of the last couple of months, it would have been a mistake to throw him into a big hole so we just tried to keep the theme pretty light.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s been doing eight sessions a week, which is about what he was doing over in the US, but probably a little bit further than what his (US-based coach) Australian Olympian Brett Hawke was giving him but I think he&#8217;s adapted really quickly, really well and he&#8217;s come up with some good swims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt his last competitive meeting, when he was maybe 13 or 14 years of age, was a long time ago so he&#8217;s revelling in, watching some of the superstars here competing and trying to learn and watch what they&#8217;re doing. He&#8217;s very excited with the opportunity to get in and swim at this level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he&#8217;s looking forward to going on a week&#8217;s break, he&#8217;s going to probably go down on a surfing safari somewhere, he hasn&#8217;t done much of that since he&#8217;s been here so he&#8217;ll take a week off at least, and then come back in and just maybe work towards short-course. Short-course is a little bit later in the year so we&#8217;ll see what he can do there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo (the) Short-course (season) then probably Queensland State Titles in December so just really following the course that everyone else is taking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe won&#8217;t be going back to the US, he&#8217;s going to stay firmly embedded here so we&#8217;re just trying to keep. I guess getting better is\u00a0the name of the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In other events today:<\/p>\n<p>Four-time Olympian Emily Seebohm (Griffith University) tops the qualifiers in the women\u2019s 200m backstroke ahead of Kaylee McKeown (USC Spartans) and Minna Atherton (Moreton Bay).<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Emily Seebohm 2:1036<\/li>\n<li>Kaylee McKeown (2:10.52<\/li>\n<li>Minna Atherton 2:11.02<\/li>\n<li>Jess Unicomb 2:11.69<\/li>\n<li>Abbey Webb 2:12.89<\/li>\n<li>Tahlia Thornton 2:13.16<\/li>\n<li>Emilie Muir 2:14.00<\/li>\n<li>Maleleine Hardy 2:16.20<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The women\u2019s 50m freestyle saw Commonwealth record Cate Campbell lock in top spot in a Games qualifying time of 24.04 (under the 24,46) ahead of her 100m conquerer Emma McKeon (24.46) right on the QT.<\/p>\n<p>The 50m freestyle final is:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cate Campbell 24.04<\/li>\n<li>Emma McKeon 24.46<\/li>\n<li>Holly Barratt 24.51<\/li>\n<li>Meg Harris 24.64<\/li>\n<li>Madi Wilson 24.66<\/li>\n<li>Bronte Campbell 24.76<\/li>\n<li>Mollie O\u2019Callaghan 24.85<\/li>\n<li>Abbey Webb 25.19<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In the men\u2019s 50m freestyle TSS Aquatic team mates, Cameron McEvoy and Grayson Bell share the top spot in 22.08 (0.31 outside the QT).<\/p>\n<p>The men\u2019s 50m freestyle final is:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Grayson Bell 22.08<\/li>\n<li>Cameron McEvoy 22.08<\/li>\n<li>James Roberts 22.18<\/li>\n<li>Ashton Brinkworth 22.24<\/li>\n<li>Jack Cartwright 22.33<\/li>\n<li>Matt Targett 22.37<\/li>\n<li>Thomas Nowasowski 22.53<\/li>\n<li>William Stockwell 22.53<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cody Simpson &#8220;Like A Kid In A Candy Shop&#8221;
