Airdate: Australian Swimming Championships 2022

Prime Video today announced the commentary team for the 2022 Australian Swimming Championships, the second year of its two-year partnership with Swimming Australia.

Broadcast Live from Adelaide from May 18-22, all swimming coverage will be led by Grant Hackett OAM, Giaan Rooney OAM, Nicole Livingstone OAM, and Annabelle Williams OAM.

Matt White will host the coverage across five days of live swimming events, joined by Jon Harker. Coverage will also include a 30-minute preview show, a halftime program, and a nightly wrap-up show, featuring special guests and interviews with current and past champions.

Dual Olympian Meagen Nay and dual gold medalist Britt Elmslie will provide commentary for every heat, with veteran broadcaster, John Casey calling the action. Will Rollo will serve as pool deck announcer.

“Following the successful 2021 Australian Swimming broadcast, we’re excited to again partner with Swimming Australia to bring the 2022 Swimming Championships to sports fans worldwide exclusively on Prime Video at no extra cost to Prime Members,” Hushidar Kharas, head of Prime Video Australia, said. “Swimming is part of Australia’s DNA, and after Australia’s gold medal rush at the Olympics last year, we look forward to delivering all the excitement and stories behind the athletes live from the Championships on Prime Video.”

Grant Hackett added, “This is the time when you capitalise on an opportunity as a young swimmer. When I look back on my own career, the time I got a chance to make an Australian team was following the Olympic Games because swimmers take breaks, so that’s your opportunity to break through—and that is exactly what we will be seeing here. I am also excited to see a new wave of younger swimmers dominate during the Championships.”

Live Wednesday, May 18, to Sunday, May 22, with heats each morning from 9:30 a.m. AEST and evening finals sessions from 7:00 p.m. AEST. Replays will be available to stream a short time after the conclusion of each race.
