Commonwealth Games star Cate Campbell continues to scoop the pool, winning the major gongs at Swimming Australia's annual awards.
Campbell, who won three gold medals in Glasgow followed by four gold at the Pan-Pacs in August, was a clear winner as the Australian swimmer of the year - retaining the award she won in 2013.
The Brisbane freestyler also received the peer-based swimmer's swimmer award and the Georgina Hope Foundation Olympic Program Swimmer of the Year prize on Monday night at Brisbane City Hall.
Not to finish there, Campbell shared the Speedo Golden Moment award with her record-smashing 4x100m freestyle relay teammates from Glasgow - sister Bronte Campbell, Melanie Wright (nee Schlanger) and Emma McKeon.
It capped a superb year for the 22-year-old who continued to reign supreme in the sprint events at the major international competitions to hold the fastest 50m (23.96) and 100m (52.62) times in the world for 2014.
Outdoing her Glasgow feats, Campbell won the 50m and 100m freestyle races at the Pan-Pacs on the Gold Coast as well as the 4x100 freestyle and medley relays.
Simon Cusack was named Australian coach of the year thanks to his success with both Campbell sisters plus Christian Sprenger and Tommaso D'Orsogna.
Rising long-distance star Mack Horton, who took 1500m silver at the Commonwealth Games, was recognised as the AIS discovery of the year.
Other notable awards went to open-water swimmer Jarrod Poort and Paralympic program swimmer Grant Patterson.
