Who is Adam Lucas?

Adam Lucas is a retired Australian swimmer, who specialized in individual medley events. He remains a well respected swimmer amongst the Western Australian and Tasmanian community, and holds a regional short course record in the 200 m individual medley. He also notched a bronze medal in the same stroke at the 2003 Summer Universiade in Daegu, South Korea, with a personal best of 2:03.06. Lucas is a member of West Coast Swim Club in Perth, and is coached and trained by Grant Stoelwinder.

Lucas qualified for the men's 200 m individual medley at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by clearing a FINA A-standard entry time of 2:01.94 from the Olympic trials in Sydney. He challenged seven other swimmers on the seventh heat, including top medal favorite Michael Phelps. Lucas raced to seventh place by 0.37 of a second behind three-time Olympian Tamás Kerékjártó of Hungary in 2:02.12, but missed the semifinals by a hundredth of a second, as he placed seventeenth overall in the preliminaries.

At the 2005 FINA World Championships in Montreal, Canada, Lucas rebounded another loss by missing the final of the 200 m individual medley, but urged to break a 2:02 barrier in 2:01.99.
