The South African swimmers will want to impress again and all eyes will be on the queen of the pool in South Africa, Tatjana Schoenmaker, as well as the country's most decorated Olympian, Chad le Clos.

Le Clos needs just one more medal to tie the record of the sports shooters, Phillip Adams and Mick Gault, for the most medals at the Commonwealth Games by an individual athlete.

Le Clos currently boasts with 17 medals from three Commonwealth Games.

The reigning Olympic champion, Schoenmaker, in turn will attempt to defend her 100 and 200m breaststroke titles from Gold Coast in Australia during the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
