Haywood turned her life upside down last year when she upped sticks and moved to Melbourne to train. Things didn’t go entirely to plan in 2011, but the move bore fruit this year as she made the 100m breaststroke cut in her best time for 3 years. Photo: Alex Broadway/SWPix.com

Jamieson was left deflated after the 100m breaststroke; he made the QT but Craig Benson beat him to the spot. He bounced back in the 200m, and while he couldn’t topple his Bath teammate Andrew Willis, he secured a PB and an Olympic berth. Photo: Vaughn Ridley/SWPix.com
