Commonwealth Games gold medallist Geoff Huegill has announced today that he plans to continue swimming through to the London Olympic Games in 2012.

The 31-year-old is now seeking to make his third Olympic team.

Huegill was a bronze medallist at Sydney 2000 and finalist in Athens in 2004 in the 100 metres butterfly.

“This is a decision that I've spent a lot of time thinking about, but one that I'm 100 per cent behind,” said Huegill.

“There are no guarantees to gaining Olympic selection, and I know the road ahead is going to be a tough one, but I've enjoyed the journey so much already, it only seems right to keep giving it a crack for the next 18 months.”

 “The support that I've received from family and friends over the last two years has been amazing and I would also like to thank the Australian public for their support as well.”
