England and Canada will challenge Australia for the title of top Commonwealth swimming nation when the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games swimming competition begins on Thursday 5 April at the Optus Aquatic Centre.
Australia won 19 of the 44 swimming gold medals on offer at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and took home 22 golds four years earlier in Delhi. England was second in the swimming medal tally at Glasgow 2014, with Canada third.
The three nations are set to be the main contenders in the pool, but South Africa should also provide plenty of highlights.
There are 50 swimming events at GC2018 and the 70-strong Australian team will be aiming to be on the podium for at least half. The team was chosen at the Australian Swimming Trials, held just five weeks from the start of the Games in the hope that selected swimmers would be in top form before a home crowd.
