SwimmingSA’s competition structure is guided by the Competitions Committee and is reviewed each year to reflect evolving trends in participation and performance. Our approach is always aligned with the national high performance strategy, our own strategic plan, and the needs of our membership database. We aim to grow participation and support athletic achievement in an inclusive, high-quality and sustainable swimming environment.
Each year, the Board and Competitions Committee review the competitions framework and calendar to ensure all events and offerings align with our long-term vision and strategy - supporting success at every level and maintaining a strong, future-focused sport.
