Humble, hardworking, charismatic, and principled, Zac Stubblety-Cook is one of Australian Swimming's leading men.

Making his first Australian Dolphins team at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Stubblety-Cook won gold three years later in Tokyo in the 200m breaststroke at a major international multi-sport competition. There, he set a blistering new record time for the competition. He also won bronze in the 4x100m medley relay.

In 2022, he became world champion and set a new world-record time of 2:05:95 in the 200m breaststroke, before securing two gold medals and two silver medals at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Stubblety-Cook became the first Australian male swimmer since Grant Hackett to hold the major titles of Commonwealth Games champion, world champion, world-record holder, and champion of the international sporting competition that is held every four years in the same event at the same time.

The swimmer recently competed in a major international multi-sport competition in France, where he returned home with a silver medal in the men's 200m breaststroke and a bronze medal from the 4x100m mixed medley relay. This was a remarkable achievement given that he fractured his neck 8 months out from the competition and contracted COVID just three days before his final.
