Early life and education

Seebohm was born on 5 June 1992 in Adelaide, South Australia.

On 6 March 2008 at the Brisbane Catholic Schoolgirls Championships, Seebohm broke the 50 m backstroke Commonwealth and Australian records with a time 28.10 seconds, missing Li Yang's then world record of 28.09 by one hundredth of a second.{{cite news|title=Rice and Seebohm smash world records|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/swimming/rice-breaks-world-record/2008/03/22/1205602729482.html|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=2008-03-22|access-date=2008-03-24}}

On 22 March 2008, Seebohm broke the world record in the 50 m backstroke in the semi-finals of the 2008 Australian Championships, with a time of 27.95s, taking five hundredths of a second off Hayley McGregory's world record of 28.00 set only 15 days earlier on 7 March 2008.{{cite news|title=McGregory breaks 50m backstroke world record|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/03/09/2184450.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120722105742/http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/03/09/2184450.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 July 2012|work=ABC News|date=2008-03-09|access-date=2008-03-24}} A day later, this record was beaten again, this time by Australian Sophie Edington in a time of 27.67 seconds in the final of the same event.{{cite news|first=Michael|last=Cowley|title=Teenager's hold on world time short-lived|url=http://www.theage.com.au/text/articles/2008/03/23/1206206933202.html|newspaper=The Age|date=2008-03-24|access-date=2008-03-24}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} Seebohm decided not to swim in the final of this event as it is not an Olympic event and instead decided to focus on the semi-final of the 100 m backstroke. Her decision paid off when she became the first Australian woman to break the one-minute barrier in the event, her 59.78 making her the fifth-fastest of all-time. She then lowered the record to 59.58 s in the final, winning the Australian championship and gaining selection for the Olympic Games in Beijing.{{cite news|url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/more-sports/emily-15-off-to-olympics/story-e6frey6i-1111115879036|title=Seebohm sends a warning to world champ Coughlin|date=25 March 2008|author=Alex Murdoch|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph}}
