Paris Olympians Kyle Lee and Moesha Johnson Secure Australian Open Water Doubles To Book World Championship Berths For Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paris Olympians Kyle Lee<\/strong> and Moesha Johnson<\/strong> have swum their way onto the Dolphins World Championship team after adding the 5km National titles to their 10km wins on the final day of the Australian Open Water Championships in Busselton.<\/p>\n

The pair\u2019s respective wins punched their tickets for the Singapore World Aquatics Championships to be held late July-August.<\/p>\n

Only first place getters in thee 5km race earned automatic qualification with the remainder of the Dolphins team to be named pending results at the World Cup stop in Egypt next month.<\/p>\n

For hometown local Bunbury hero\u00a0Lee<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>it was his third gold medal of the weekend after he spearheaded his North Shore, WA team to the gold in the 4×1.25km relay on Day Two \u2013 and his club (under the guidance of Head Coach Ian Mills<\/strong>) to the overall club pointscore.<\/p>\n

In a controlled race, Lee (53.33.6) made his move in the last lap to slip past Noosa\u2019, QLD\u2019s Thomas Raymond<\/strong> (53:34.90) and Melbourne Vicentre VIC\u2019s Nic Sloman <\/strong>(53:38.40).<\/p>\n

“To qualify for Singapore (Worlds) doesn\u2019t feel quite real \u2026 and to now have that 5km spot is awesome. While it was great to have that break after the Olympics, and to reset, it\u2019s also great to be back in the water,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old is studying a Bachelor of Commerce and hopes to finish his degree this year while juggling training and competition in Egypt and Singapore.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t thought much beyond Singapore and there\u2019s a few personal things to tick off but I am really enjoying being back at home, racing today in front of family and friends,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0It was then over to his Paris teammate and Olympic silver medallist, Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0(Griffith University, QLD) to match the effort and that\u2019s just what she did.<\/p>\n

In an all-the way win, the in-form 27-year-old Queenslander claimed a dominant championship win that followed her 10km win on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Johnson flipped her race plan from her cagey 10km effort to take control of the race from the outset, dominating all four laps of the 5km, touching the finish board in 57:30.70 with\u00a0her former training partner Maddie Gough<\/strong>\u00a0(Miami, QLD) second (58:21.10) with dual Olympian Chelsea Gubecka<\/strong>\u00a0(Chandler, QLD) and\u00a0Jacqueline Davison-McGovern <\/strong>(St Peters Western,<\/strong> QLD)\u00a0dead-heating for third (58:22.30).<\/p>\n

Coaster Johnson will now return to her German training base to prepare for the World Cup in Egypt ahead of Australian Open (Pool) Championships in April where she will attempt to also qualify for the 1500m freestyle event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main focus for the championships was to qualify for Singapore so I decided to put the pressure on early and it worked,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s a lot of competitions in the next few months, so that means a lot of preparation to fit. It’s really just about getting in the best prep that I can and getting as fit as I can because when you’re racing a program that’s really busy \u2026 you want to get fit to be able to back it up time and time again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never won an (individual) \u00a0World Championship and international experience in open water is so important – the more you race it, the more you learn about your competitors, different strategies and race conditions. Getting amongst it is just so critical for this sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cEuropeans are so passionate about distance sports, like cycling with the Tour de France for example. Being amongst that and their mindsets of endurance, plus getting to race my competitors in training and on the weekend has been invaluable. It’s given me so much confidence coming into these sorts of events now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swimming Australia has revealed that more than 1000 swimmers competed over the four days of the Australian Open Water Championships and OceanSwim Festival, with near perfect conditions on the final day of racing with water temperature hovering around 24 degrees and Generation Next showcasing their talent.<\/p>\n

With Dolphins new head coach Fernando Possenti looking on; age group swimmers\u00a0Ella Reynolds, Chloe Brodrick, Eleanor Flowers, Amelie Smith, Madison Brand, Piper Cameron, Thomas Dreverman, Daniel Carter, Luke Higgs, Riley Meares<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Hunter Mackenzie<\/strong>\u00a0all impressed.<\/p>\n

In multi-class events; S19 athlete\u00a0Ky Millican<\/strong> (Goodlife, QLD) opened the year with a win in the men\u2019s 14&over 5km and Amie Holwill<\/strong>\u00a0(S19) winning the women\u2019s multi-class 14&over.<\/p>\n

For Sunshine Coast athlete Millican, he has started the year as he finished it. The 17-year-old claimed a National title at the Australian Short Course Championships in September.<\/p>\n
