It's still baby steps, but teenager Sienna Toohey isn't shying away from her dream of becoming Australia's next swimming golden girl.
With multiple Olympic gold medallist Kaylee McKeown in her corner, the 17-year-old schoolgirl is vying to make her Commonwealth Games debut this year in Glasgow.
Toohey broke on to the scene last year at age 16 after earning a spot in Australia's world championship team.
Hailed as the future of Australian swimming, the Albury teen swam a time of 1:07.24 in the 100m breaststroke heats, but missed out on a semi-final berth in Singapore by 0.24 of a second.
Toohey had been in the same heat as triple Olympian and three-time world record-holder Lily King, who scraped into the semis with a time of 1:06.93.
