She’s a three-time Olympic gold medallist.
And not even a pregnancy has deterred Libby Trickett from striking gold once again after she set a world record for the fastest 1km swim for a pregnant woman.
The mother – who is expecting her second child – stunned the crowd when she completed the Noosa Summer Swim for charity at 35 weeks pregnant.
The 33-year-old joined 100 other swimmers, including Olympian Michael Klim, at Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland on Saturday.

Prior to the event, the 33-year-old retired swimmer revealed she wanted to set the World Record for the fastest 1km swim undertaken by a woman who is 35 weeks pregnant.
And unsurprisingly, Trickett cheered as she sprinted out of the water after completing her race.
‘I think I unofficially broken the world record for the 1km ocean swim done by a 35-week pregnant woman,’ she told 7 News, laughing.
