He was coached by the flamboyant Laurie Lawrence. Born and raised in Brisbane, Queensland, Lemberg put in the best performance of his life to improve his Australian record by more than two seconds to claim bronze, just 0.56 seconds behind the American duo of George DiCarlo and John Mykkanen. He also competed in the 200-metre and 1500-metre freestyle events, but was eliminated in the heats. He narrowly missed a second bronze, coming fourth as part of the 4x200-metre freestyle relay.
