Australia tied their record gold haul at swimming's world championships with one day remaining, while greats Katie Ledecky and Sarah Sjostrom created more history on Saturday.

Australia claimed three more gold medals to take their count to 13 in Fukuoka, tying their best-ever tally from 2001 and 2005.

They secured their place on top of the medal table, meaning Australia will finish ahead of the United States for the first time since 2001.

Their night's work included a fifth world record this week for Australian swimmers and Kaylee McKeown completing an unprecedented backstroke world title sweep.
