He qualified to represent Australia at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo 2021,[1] competing in men's 20 kilometres walk.
He made his junior international debut aged 16 at the 2015 World Youth (U18) Championships.
[3] In 2018, Swan was the first Aussie across the line in 10th place in the junior event at the World Race Walking Cup in China.
As a senior athlete Swan now needed to race over twice the distance, 20 km, and it took some time to adjust.
In 2021 he set track best times over 5000m and 10,000m and had two solid walks just outside his 20 km PB, allowing him to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
