For the second consecutive year,Matt Wilson has earned the Swammy Award for the Oceania Male Swimmer of the Year.

Last year Australias Wilson emerged into the spotlight when he broke countryman Christian Sprengers super-suit era 200 breast Oceanian/Australian record with a 2:07.16 at the Australian National Championships in April. He would go on to win silver at the 2019 World Championships.

For 2020, however, it was the short course arena in which Wilson made his magic happen, with the 22-year-old SOPAC swimmer once again replacing a Sprenger record.

While competing at the multi-location virtual Australian Championships this November, Wilson hit a monster personal best of 56.89 in the 100m breast. The time marked his first effort under the 57-second threshold; in fact, it represented the first time any Australian man had been under 57 seconds. His performance also became the Oceanic Record in the SCM 100m breast event.

Putting Wilsons 56.89 in perspective in the all-time frame, the Aussie now sits just outside the top 25 male 100m breaststrokers ever worldwide.

In no particular order.
