Queenslander Kaylee McKeown has set a world record in the women's 100 metre backstroke.
Her time of 57:45 beat the previous world record of 57:5 held by the United States' Regan Smith.
It's an achievement that Australia should be celebrating.
Instead her triumph has been overshadowed by a shocking report that has exposed a toxic culture in the sport.
Former athlete Jenny McMahon won Gold in the 200-metre free relay and silver in the 200 metre free at the Commonwealth Games in 1990.
She was just 15 years-old and today she says it's the psychological trauma that she can never forget.
Ms McMahon is now pushing for the Human Rights Commission to oversee an independent review of the sport to look at the past and present, and allow for the future of the sport to ensure safety and compliance with Human Rights principles.
