With a birthday a month before the Games, dual world champion Sarah Hawe will make her Olympic debut at the age of 34.
First selected in a national team at the age of 29, the Huon Rowing Club member has since become a mainstay of the women's four crew, winning two golds and a silver medal at the last three world titles.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Hawe has been named in a women's sweep squad of 17 from which at least three crews will be drawn, but the picture is far less certain for Ciona Wilson, who won a bronze medal in the women's eight at the 2018 world championships.
The Tamar rower, who turns 29 in June, is also named in the sweep squad but there is uncertainty surrounding how many rowers may double up and how many reserves will be selected.
Similarly, Huon's Georgia Nesbitt has been named in the Australian team but still has to qualify the lightweight women's double scull with Sarah Pound, of NSW.
They will need to finish first or second in the final Olympic qualification regatta scheduled for May 15 to 17 in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Nesbitt, who turns 29 in May, was in a lightweight four which won a silver medal at the 2017 world titles.
Tasmanian Institute of Sport rowing coach Brett Crow said it was a good result for the state.

"They are the three girls who have been at the National Training Centre at Penrith for four or five years so we have to be happy that they are involved in the Olympic program," he said.
"Sarah was a gold medallist at the last worlds so was always going to make a boat, Georgia still has to qualify her boat but has a great chance to be able to do that and Ciona has done a really good job to be named in the sweep group.
"At the moment they have just named the sweep squad and will make the decision later who is in each boat."

Eve Mure (Huon) and Alex Paterson (Buckingham) also trialled for the squad but missed out.
Hawe becomes the sixth Tasmanian nominated for the Australian Olympic team, joining Daniel Watkins (canoeing), Georgia Baker (track cycling), Stewart McSweyn (athletics), Jake Birtwhistle (triathlon) and Chris Goulding (basketball).
Track cyclist Amy Cure was also selected but has since retired.
