Achievements
Cameron McEvoy has amassed an impressive number of medals throughout his career, which began when he broke on to the international swimming scene in 2011 at the Junior World Championships. He qualified for his first Olympics at 17 years old in 2012 and again in 2016 in Rio where he won a bronze in the 4x100m freestyle relay.
