Event Details

This winter, South Australia’s swimmers will come together for one of the biggest racing weekends of the year.

Winter Waves is built to give every swimmer the chance to race hard, race smart, and take a real step forward. For some, it'll be the final stretch into State Championships.

It’s designed around racing that matters, and learning how to manage sessions, back up across events, and deliver performances under pressure.

Across three days, swimmers can expect a full program across all strokes and distances, with a few new event formats and competition twists that put skills and strategy to the test.

The environment will feel fast, focused and competitive, without losing the encouraging environment that makes South Australian swimming what it is.

Winter Waves is about preparation. It’s about pressure. It’s about doing the work now, under race conditions that ask a little bit more.

Entries and full event information will be available soon.

Competition Information

  • Estimated timeline

    • All timelines are subject to change. While we’ll communicate any major adjustments via this webpage and social media, it’s essential that you arrive with plenty of time to avoid any last-minute stress. SwimmingSA takes no responsibility for missed events due to timeline changes.

    The competition timeline will be published here after race nominations have closed.

  • Technical Officials

    • The Officials Room will be located in the Event Administration Room, behind the Control Room. Briefings for all officials will be held 30 minutes prior to the start of each session in the Marshalling Room. Please ensure you arrive on time and are present for your designated briefing.

    Each competing club is required to provide a portion of the total number of officials needed for the competition. This is calculated based on the number of athletes entered from that club, using the formula outlined in SwimmingSA’s Mandated Officials Policy.

    SwimmingSA’s preference is for all officials to hold current accreditation. A fully accredited team on pool deck ensures fairness, accuracy, and consistency in officiating. However, we understand some clubs may need to nominate a mix of accredited and in-training officials. Individuals in training are welcome to nominate and will be allocated roles in line with their experience.

    While nominations must be submitted individually, some clubs may coordinate internal rostering. If you are part of a club that manages its own roster, please ensure you still submit your individual nomination and liaise with your club’s nominated officials coordinator.

    Officials will be rostered based on the needs of the competition.

    The technical officials roster will be available here shortly. Officials nominations for this competition are to be submitted via Swim Central. Club officiating allocations will be published here once race nominations have closed.
