following Victorian pair <strong>Jemma Schlicht<\/strong> (2016) and brother <strong>David Schlicht<\/strong> (2018 and this year\u2019s Class 2022) since the first Fina Championships were swum in

the rare honour of making their debut here in Australia,\u201d Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOurs is one of the most competitive teams to make in international swimming, so I have complete confidence every time we select a squad that they will enter the meet prepared and willing to give nothing short of their best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese Championships represent a unique opportunity to leave your mark in the memory of a home crowd and I\u2019m certain we have a proud group of Dolphins here that are motivated by that chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taylor will again lead the team as Head Coach and
