Exciting Australian swimming prospect Bronte Job said her gold medal winning effort at this year’s world junior swimming championships had taken her confidence to the next level.

The Year 11 student from All Hallows’ School put the race of her life together to claim the 50m backstroke title during the meet in Budapest.

It was a personal best time and ranked in the top six overall times for an Australian backstroker.

“I was stoked with it,’’ the Rackley Centenary swimmer said.

“It was (out of the blue). Considering my swims earlier in the week, I was shocked it all came together and went that well for me.

“But when I got thinking about it, I thought “no, I had trained for it and my training reflected that (result).’’

A backstroke and freestyle exponent, Job’s progress indicates she is on course to one day become an Australian Dolphin.

But while making it to an Olympic Games was a “big goal for me down the track’’, her short term aim was to make the Australian team for the junior world championships again.
