And I remember standing\u2026next to Geoff Huegill and I got stage fright\u2026\u201d said Chalmers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYour swimming career goes so quickly, and I think you&#8217;ve just got to slow down and enjoy it. That\u2019s why I&#8217;m here, backing up racing year after year, and I&#8217;m desperate to be here because you don&#8217;t know when it&#8217;s going to end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since my body&#8217;s felt this good, if ever in my career, I&#8217;m doing less, I&#8217;m having fun, and probably not as stressed about doing things away from the pool as well. Like I&#8217;d go building, but I&#8217;d be cautious about doing stuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNow, I&#8217;m just doing whatever I want to do, and it seems to be working. I&#8217;ve seen the physio twice this whole year, compared to the lead up to Tokyo I was seeing the physio every single day, if not twice a day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo it&#8217;s been an amazing turnaround, and I&#8217;m stoked my body&#8217;s feeling this good and that&#8217;s why I want to capitalise on it while I can because I know it&#8217;s not going to feel this good forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_614885\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-614885\" data-attachment-id=\"614885\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/australian-trials-day-4-finals-sprint-king-kyle-chalmers-blasts-a-47-29-to-win-100-freestyle-flynn-southam-second-in-47-69\/southam_8135\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Southam_8135-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1749726696&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;340&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;8000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Flynn Southam 100 free Aussie trials\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Courtesy: Delly Carr, Swimming Australia&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Southam_8135-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Southam_8135-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-614885\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Southam_8135-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-614885\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flynn Southam pleased to get it done.

It&#8217;s so good coming out, and seeing familiar faces up in the crowd, there\u2019s a massive crowd here tonight, so it makes it a whole lot easier for me to do my job when there&#8217;s so much to support in the stands\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m just trusting what I&#8217;ve been doing in training listening to all my coaches, trusting that we&#8217;ve done the work and everything we&#8217;ve been doing is just focusing on a personal best time, we were very close to tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southam said his was a pretty awesome swim, I\u2019m super happy, I\u2019ve got to thank my coaches Chris Mooney and Kyle Samuelson and my whole support team. They&#8217;ve really got me through the past couple of years. It&#8217; been tough\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBeing a really good age grouper and coming through and transitioning. It hasn&#8217;t been easy, but it&#8217;s worth the journey and it&#8217;s all about the ups and downs and who you become a long way, so I&#8217;m stoked to be back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI stopped thinking that I&#8217;m 100m or 200m swimmer, I just started thinking myself as a sprint freestyle and the work we&#8217;ve done has proved that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aussie Sprint King Kyle Chalmers Blasts Out A 47.29 To Win 100m Freestyle;
