Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australia\u2019s best swimmers have converged on the Melbourne Sports And Aquatic Centre for the six-day Trials with the Dolphins team to be announced on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Titmus, who lost her world record (3:56.40) to Canadian wunderkind\u00a0<strong>Summer McIntosh<\/strong>\u00a0(3:56.08) in April this year, led the heat from start to finish, going through the 200 metres in 2:01.24 and swam away from her second placed club mate\u00a0<strong>Kiah Melverton<\/strong>\u00a0(4:09.30) to swim under the Swimming

of the day with her 4:07.36 (2:00.54).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The men\u2019s 400m freestyle saw almost identical performances from heat winners \u2013 world ranked No 1 <strong>Sam Short<\/strong>\u00a0(Rackley Swim Team, QLD) clocking 3:47.32 to win the first seeded heat before defending world champion\u00a0<strong>Elijah Winnington<\/strong>\u00a0(St Peters Western, QLD) won the second heat in 3:47.50.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other qualifiers include\u00a0<strong>Brendon Smith<\/strong>\u00a0(Griffith University, QLD) 3:48.90, his club mate and 2016 Olympic

the first morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 21-year-old, who is coached by Australia\u2019s 2008 Olympic backstroker\u00a0<strong>Ashley Delaney<\/strong>\u00a0on the Queensland Sunshine Coast, set the first world record of the meet \u2013 breaking his own S14 mark in Multi-Class 100m backstroke, stopping the clock in 56.73 \u2013 taking 0.15 off the previous time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hance will be one of the stars of the Australian Para Swim Team heading to Manchester in August for the Para World Championships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other events this morning:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DUAL OLYMPIC backstroke champion and world record holder\u00a0<strong>Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) cruised to an effortless heat win in the women\u2019s 200IM in 2:11.97 as she chases <strong>Stephanie Rice<\/strong>\u2019s Australian record of 2:07.03 set back in 2009.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:
