I just really wanted to see the improvement even just a couple of hundreds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I am learning so much and I was able to fix all those little errors tonight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Swimming Canada has definitely risen over the past few years and to see this tonight is amazing. It&#8217;s great to bring this medal back to Canada. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s great to be swimming with Kylie (Masse).\u00a0 She is one of my best friends.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was a second medal of the meet for Curzan who said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It was fun! I knew the field was stacked with those ladies and honestly, the goal was just to have fun and I had a blast. So I think that was a success.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The 18-year-old has enjoyed a successful year with two golds among five medals at the long-course worlds in Budapest in June.<\/p>\n<p>The Stanford University athlete is accustomed to swimming yards in collegiate competition and she nodded to her coaches on helping the team adjust to metres.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe coaching staff here has been really great in helping make that transition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I think we\u2019re kind of used to it flags-wise because the distance from the flags is the same as long course, but the coaches definitely help, and I have done this meet before a year ago. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It was definitely easier to make the transition since I\u2019ve done it before.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>O&#8217;Callaghan has had a medal-laden 2022 with three golds among six in Budapest followed by five titles in a seven-strong haul at the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n<p>The 18-year-old has won five so far in Melbourne with two in the backstroke &#8211; 100 silver and 50 bronze &#8211; for the freestyle specialist.<\/p>\n<p>She said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s surprising my first record is a 50 backstroke so it&#8217;s kind of weird for me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Typically, I don&#8217;t do the backstroke, it\u2019s not my playground, I do it for fun. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This meet was just about having fun having no pressure just enjoying it for once instead of being like, oh my god, I got the weight of the world on me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m just going in it and learning new things, fix some new skills and coming off like, I guess the majority of us are coming off a break. Finishing school, surgery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yeah, everything. So, it&#8217;s been\u2026it&#8217;s been quite epic.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There was a nod of the head to her coach <strong>Dean Boxall<\/strong>, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s all Dean\u2019s (Boxall) work to be honest; I just follow what he says.
