href=\"https:\/\/sa.swimming.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Australian team members<\/a> at this week\u2019s Starlight Foundation Super Swim launch on the Gold Coast saying: \u201cEverything is heading towards the 400, 800 and specifically that 1500m freestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really want to set my mark there and continue the momentum I built in 2022, a pretty interesting year, learning a lot about resilience, also recovering from melanoma, swimming on my first Australian teams and my first time in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving to believe in yourself and gaining confidence along the way&#8230;I am on the three-monthly melanoma check ups, constantly getting biopsies and everything is fine but I have to manage it..<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m in the sun all the time so I have to go to that extra level of protection&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to a big few years&#8230;.it is non stop between now and Paris which is why I had a big break after Birmingham, knowing mentally I\u2019m not going to have a break in the next two years&#8230;.I really have to make the most of it&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neill admitted he likes to treat the racing build up to the World Championship Trials as training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best part about swimming is the racing and if you can enjoy the sport through racing and if you can use that as training it\u2019s so beneficial I find.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be my first ever January (racing) hit out .it will be interesting to see where we are after Christmas&#8230;it should be exciting and honest racing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiddle distance freestyle has always been my favourite and still will be leading into Paris and I think doing IM work particularly an pre-season gets you fit quick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cButterfly and breaststroke work is pretty gruelling and whips you into shape pretty quick; I\u2019ll swim two events per day as a training block trying to give it to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Chalmers Not Short On Opposition As He Lines up In The 800m Freestyle At South Australian State Championships Commonwealth Games
