The 1960 Olympian died in Sydney on Sunday aged 78.
Konrads dominated the pool as a teenager in the late 1950s before making his name at the 1960 Olympics in Rome where he won three medals, including gold in the 1500 metre freestyle at the age of 17.
He became the third Australian to win the event after Andrew Boy Charlton and Murray Rose.
He also won bronze in the 400 m freestyle and 4x200m freestyle relay.
Konrads set 26 individual freestyle world records between the 200m and 1500m events before he turned 15.
The Sport Australia Hall of Fame and Swimming Australia led the outpouring of tributes to Konrads on Monday.
