    Striving to compete with a specialist American medley training squad is the reason behind two-time Olympian Lewis Clareburt making the move to Australia


    The 26-year-old will shift from Auckland to Melbourne in January...to be coached by world-class Jolyon Finck as the Kiwi chases his dream of a medal at the 2028 LA Olympics.

    Clareburt says members of the USA medley training group are winning all the medals internationally...and swimmers Down Under need to band together to compete.
