Australia's selection meet for the 2009 World Championships runs Tuesday, March 17 until Sunday, March 22. They are one of the first countries to hold their trials this season. Below are my predictions. Sometimes I will predict times, sometimes not, while sometimes I will predict six places, sometimes only one or two. Swimmers whose names are in bold make the team. Remember, they take six or seven in a relay! Note: Foreigners will be competing in the meet, so I will list their times, but not as placing in finals.
