Abbey Connor (swimming) made her Commonwealth Games debut in Birmingham where she set a personal best in the 200m butterfly but narrowly missed a medal.

In March 2021, the then 15-year-old broke the 200m butterfly age record set by Michelle Ford in 1978 at the NSW State Age championships, lowering the mark to 2:12.60. A year later, she was selected for the World Junior Open Water Championships in the Seychelles.

Abbey, who completed year 12 at Our Lady of Mercy College in Parramatta after the Birmingham Games, trains under Alex Clarke at Revesby Workers Swim Club in Sydney and is also part of the NSW Institute of Sport squad.
