The Australian National Championships aren't at the top of the priority list for a number of swimmers, with some more focused on the World Championship trials in June\ufeff.<\/p>\n

Simpson last year finished the 100m freestyle eighth overall at the selection trials for the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

He then won a gold and a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games for swimming in the heats of the 4x100m men's freestyle relay and 4x100m medley relay.<\/p>\n

Chalmers took out the national championship by just 0.41 seconds, with teenager Kai Taylor in hot pursuit and Flynn Southam in third (48.53s).<\/p>\n

"That was good," Chalmers said. "I never expect too much at this time of year. It's all about the race more so than the time. [The heat time] this morning was probably a shock.<\/p>\n

"I'm in a massive heavy [training] block at the moment. Racing is the best training. This year having trials and the worlds will be a whole lot quieter."<\/p>\n
