Leisel Jones excited about Delhi

Olympic swimming champion Leisel Jones is fiery about competing but laid-back on security and health concerns at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.

Olympic champion Leisel Jones says a Top End upbringing - and a visit to Africa - have prepared her for whatever perils await in New Delhi.

There has been turmoil surrounding the Games with terrorism fears, corruption claims, health hazards and suspect stadiums.

But the triple Olympic gold medallist is more excited than apprehensive.

'India's going to be a great country, it's going to be full of colour, people go there on holiday all the time and really enjoy it and I think we're going to have a really great time,' Jones said at the unveiling of the team's formal uniform in Melbourne ahead of next month's event.

'It's going to be great for the community that we go over there and give them our economy, we're going to be boosting it and I think they're going to put on a great show, with great colours and awesome food.'

Jones was satisfied with the security information provided by Australian government and team officials.

'You can live in Melbourne and incidents can happen, you're not truly safe from anything,' she said.

'I'm not concerned at all at this point, we've had a lot of briefings with a lot of information about what's been happening and we've only heard good things.

'The Australian government obviously will be looking after us to the nth degree and I have all my faith in everyone.'

Delhi has been hit by an recent outbreak of dengue fever, but Jones said the team always took precautions with their water supply.

With her youth spent in the Northern Territory and travel around the world, including time spent in Africa last year while filming a documentary, she felt prepared for anything.

'You've just got to be really careful,' the record-breaking breaststroker said.

'Growing up in the Northern Territory can be pretty scary as well and going to Africa, there was yellow fever, but you get vaccinations and you're careful about the water you drink.'

Far from being worried about the completion of Games facilities, some of which are way behind schedule, Jones thought it was part of the charm in competing in an exotic destination.

'Athens was exactly the same up to their Olympics, they were literally finishing the pool the day before they were competing, screwing things in.

'I'm not terribly concerned, I think they will get it together ... Sydney was very prepared for their Olympics but I think other countries they take it differently to what we do.

'I kind of like their relaxed nature, they take it as it comes and they'll get it done, I'm sure they will.'
