Edinburgh 1970 - Swimming highlights

At the newly constructed Royal Commonwealth Pool, 29 events were going to be contested, with 87 medals on offer for the competitors.
In the lead-up to the Edinburgh 1970 Commonwealth Games, Australian chief coach Don Talbot was excited about the team selected to compete.
"This is a good crowd. It's the best all-round swimming team ever to leave Australia,” Talbot told The Australian Women’s Weekly.
Some of the highlights included Neil Rogers winning bronze in the Men's 200m backstroke, Allyson Mabb won bronze medals in the 100m and 200m butterfly double, and Lynne Bates (nee Watson) dominating the pool finishing with four gold medals.
Then Lynne Watson was even presented one of her gold medals by Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
