Australian Swim Team
The Australian Swim Team, also known as The Dolphins, is the national swim team of Australia for both men and women. The team has a rich history of success at major international championships, with its primary rival being the United States. The nickname 'The Dolphins' was first used in 1989.
The Australian Swim Team has produced numerous world-class swimmers, with thirty-six members inducted into the International [Swimming Hall of Fame] as of 2015. Notable inductees include Dawn Fraser, Shane Gould, Grant Hackett, Leisel Jones, Kieren Perkins, Murray Rose, and Ian Thorpe. Swimming Australia annually recognizes the Australian Swimmer of the Year.
The Australian Swim Team has finished first in the gold medal rankings once at the Olympic Games in 1956 in Melbourne and twice at the Long Course World Championships in 2001 and 2023, both held in Fukuoka, Japan.
