In Australia, it is mandatory for primary schools to offer swimming lessons for students, as water safety is hugely important in Australia, since most of the population live in coastal cities. Nearly every child learns to swim, so the filter rate of finding young swimming talent is almost 100%.

[@Chzydawg]

Every capital city also has a sports institute and at least half a dozen elite clubs that have had talent at the Olympic level. Great coaching, high level competition and government backed development institutes really do contribute to the amount of top athletes that come out of Aus. The club I was at had about 4 swimmers in the Athens Olympics alone.

[@kazumakiryu3397]

[@Chzydawg]

Filters those with ambition and elite mentality to those that don't. Also instills a stupid level of competitiveness in you from a young age. Even in training you're competing with everyone else in the squad, because you want to go into the higher level squad. I was in a club where you were literally looked down on if you weren't constantly setting new PB's, you could win a race at a competition by a body length, but if you didn't set a PB it wasn't worth celebrating.

@@scottsevers6194 I don't mean to say this to belittle your accomplishments, but the Australian swimming scene is a lot more competitive then the Australian soccer scene, let alone being the goal keeper.

[@DeftPol]

As an Australia, swimming definitely has always been a way of life. That said, your video here is illuminating on how the programs in place in Australia perpetuate the strength of swimming talent. I actually wasn’t aware of the biannual metes with the US for instance - the relationship with the US is of course very strong, but that amounts to something of an unfair advantage when you consider the transfer of skills, and constant pushing the teams put on each other.

[@patriot77185]

Also to be considered is that USA has over 350 million people and we have around 26 million.

[@endoucheeray7018]

You have no idea how many other KZbinrs "steal" your videos for totoruian purpose in all different languages. Olympians can only be super fast themselves, but you are making thousands sport fans better. In that term, You are literally the most influential swimmer in the world.

[@msarikah]

This video was not only awesome to see and learn about, but towards the end when you mentioned surrounding ourselves (competitively) by those who are better than us in a given category, I think of that in my everyday life and how easily bored I get by being around mediocrity (nothing disrespectful, I mean those who work, go out to drink, have whatever happening with romantic partners. And when I do something a bit different, I stand out in a way where others can only say kind words, which sometimes can mean secret jealousy and ostracizing, which leads to dimming my own shine.) I understand what you meant when you referred to life. It's hard to hate on others when you're striving for to be the best within yourself! 2024, and this encouraged me to stay the course, get back in the water and practice my form, breath hold (for my underwater depth portion), endurance/stamina, and speed. Using the weather, of course, is no excuse, which I've been using. Thank you for the encouragement, Coach!🎉🎉👏👏

Nice video and facts about the womens' relay that most Australians would not be aware of -like me ( until , of course, they watch your video). For a small nation (only 23 million people) we are overrepresented. ts all about the climate in Australia and swimming as a sport that is built up from juniors. By the way, Emma Mc Keon was recently made 2024 Young Australian of the Year. An impressive individual, as are all the women in that team. Thankyou for giving credit where it is due and for reinforcing the principle of competing against your betters- a good dictum for anything in life!

[@disertore93]

A friend of mine is living in Sidney. I was very surprised when she told me that ther is a swimming pool in her condo, at the residents' disposal, and that it is not an unusual facility in Australia. I think this says a lot about their dominance in the sport.

[@chriskelly9476]

Many Australian kids swim before they can walk. Babies and toddlers are taught water awareness so they know to hold their breath when their face is in the water, and many already know how to float on their back and kick their legs. Swimming lessons are mandatory in suburban primary schools in most parts of the country and have been for years. I'm in my 40s and we had swimming lessons as part of our primary school (grades 1 to 7) curriculum. Most public schools don't have pools so they either bus the kids to a public pool or walk if it's close by. Our local pool was a 15 minute walk from our school so the teachers would walk us there and back. Loved my swimming lessons, it was the highlight of the school week. Except that time I forgot to bring a change of underwear and had to wear my wet swimmers under my school clothes for the rest of the day. Only ever did that once 😂

[@judileeming1589]

I could show you photos of my grandchildren in our pool who were seated in a floating swim chair in the pool as soon as they could hold their heads up. There are commercial swimming pools everywhere who teach babies how to swim and survive if they fall into a pool. Most of us are good swimmers before we even start school.

The AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) has had a long strategy of targeting women's swimming as it has the highest Olympic medal return on the dollar. Seems to be paying off.

Enjoyed the video a lot: Australia has an amazing women's relay team (as the US men's team is amazing too). So what does it take for individual swimmers to excel? What would it take for an Australian swimmer to beat Katie Ledecky in the 1200 free?

[@sticktothefacts8905]

1200m? Isnt it 1500m? And seeing her world record is 15:36.53, I would suggest thats what it would take lol. If you want to know what it takes for Aussie women to excel at individual events, look at Arianne Titmus or Emma McKeon or Kaylee McKeown, they all won 2 individual golds at the last Olympics. Arianne beat Katie in the 400m, but came second in the 800m.

[@HelenLeach-q9v]

Australia Olympic swimming hopefuls have to qualify in times that are just under the latest Olympic record times. They are usually equal to or very close to fastest times in the world. This is because we only have a small population base of 26 million compared to USA of 346 million and China and some of the European giants. So our swimmers have to be up there to be picked, and then are very very competitive at the Games themselves. If we didn’t do this, we would have no chance of medals.

[@russe19642]

Participation is only because of opportunity, opportunity is what allows the best to swim and I agree there's no boundaries because of the colour of your skin only the opportunity. I laugh when people say white men can't play basketball or black people can't swim, given the opportunity everyone can do it. Look at the rising dominance of eastern European players making it in the NBA given now they have an opportunity and at the recent Olympics there was a black girl (I hate saying that but I'm just making a point) who won an Olympic swimming event. She was obviously given an opportunity and took it both hands. Life is all about opportunity, sometimes we don't see it or ignore it because it looks to hard. Also swimming is an elite sport even in Australia, but waters free and plenty of it,but some countries are to cold or don't have the same set ups limiting opportunity. Thank you
