How to watch Australia's swimming stars at the 2022 FINA World Championships - Schedule and preview

Olympic gold medallists Kaylee McKeown, Kyle Chalmers and Zac Stubblety-Cook will headline Australia's star-studded swimming team at the 2022 FINA World Championships.

Fans can also expect to see new talent emerge from Down Under, with Tokyo 2020 stand-out performers Ariarne Titmus and Emma McKeon choosing to skip the event in order to concentrate on the Commonwealth Games.

McKeown became the women's backstroke GOAT in 2021, breaking the 100m world record before winning the 100 and 200-metre double at the Olympics.

But the 20-year-old will have to manage her energy carefully if she is to win those events in Budapest, having added the gruelling 200 medley to her busy Worlds programme.

Rio 2016 men's Olympic 100 free champion Chalmers made a late decision to compete at Worlds, after qualifying in the unfamiliar 100 butterfly at the Australian Swimming Championships in May.

Expect fireworks from Stubblety-Cook, who secured a stunning men's 200 breaststroke win at Tokyo 2020 before breaking that world record at the national championships.
