Australia's ailing superstar swimmers, Mollie O'Callaghan and Kaylee McKeown, will be given every bit of support to ensure they're back firing at the brilliant best at the Los Angeles Olympics.
After a triumphant Commonwealth Games display from his Dolphins' team, national head coach Rohan Taylor admitted it was still now a priority to ensure the two five-time Olympic champions got the rest and recuperation needed after their troubled spells.
Backstroke queen McKeown missed the Glasgow Games and will also sit out the Pan Pacific Games with glandular fever after competing while sick at the trials.
The 25-year-old Queenslander withdrew from Glasgow and California to ensure she didn't suffer chronic fatigue.
O'Callaghan, at 22, did compete in Glasgow while trying to manage debilitating back problems and, despite still being good enough to win the 200m freestyle gold, looked a shadow of her very best.
Taylor was thrilled with the record haul from his team of 37 golds and 76 medals at the Tollcross pool as they build up for their assault on the Pan Pacific Games in California in less than a fortnight.
But he was concerned that their marquee athletes needed to be supported in their bid to be in the best shape possible for the Los Angeles Games two years hence.
"I think it's a priority, and it's also important that they know they have a great team around them," he said.
"In the case of Kaylee and Mollie, and the team that works with them, we'll be making sure that they get the rest and recovery they need, because absolutely, it's about LA.
"I'm very confident and there's a bit of time to go. Both those girls have had had some things in the past and have navigated through and come out better. So it's pretty exciting."
Though Australia dominated in Glasgow in a fashion even unprecedented by their sky high standards in Commonwealth competition, Taylor was quick to concede that, compared to the tasks ahead at the Pan Pacs and next year's world championships in Budapest, the Games represented "a lower standard meet".
Indeed, if Australian swimmers recorded their Glasgow times at the Paris Olympics, they'd have won only two golds, Cam McEvoy in 50m freestyle and Sam Short in 400m freestyle, compared to the seven they annexed in the French capital.
Not that Taylor was too concerned by this, as he enthused about the "emergence of younger athletes to underpin and strengthen our relays".
"The Americans are going to be as tough as nails on home soil, and there'll be a lot of good Canadians and others to contend with, but two years out, there's some growth in the team, from the youth and obviously our senior athletes maintaining.
"Our swimmers still had to perform at this meet, and the expectations are always high on the athletes and coaches. So to continue to repeat the success each night and build themselves was great.
"We are the best Commonwealth Games-performing team -- that's fantastic, that's a credit to the athletes and the coaches."
Taylor was not underplaying the part, either, of billionaire Gina Rinehart's cash bonus injection of over $1.2m for medal-winning swimmers in Glasgow.
"It's a significant impact," he said. "We need as much support as can be given to the athletes. I'm all for it, I'm supporting it one hundred percent. I didn't do the maths, but that sounds pretty good."
