The family holiday in Croatia can wait — Kaylee McKeown is needed back in Paris..

The swimmer will be alongside sailor Matt Wearn as the Australian flag bearers at Sunday's Olympic closing ceremony.

McKeown was having a post-Games break in Croatia when Australian chef de mission Anna Meares rang with the job offer.

"When Anna asked the question I responded 'are you serious?'" McKeown said.

"Mum goes 'wait, what ya kidding?'. Everyone was just completely in shock. They were obviously extremely proud.

"There are so many athletes that deserve the same honour and opportunity. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I couldn't be more thankful."
