Overview

Our Vision:

to be the world's leading swimming nation.

Swimming Australia is the national sporting organisation which is responsible for the promotion and development of swimming in Australia at all levels. Home of the EnergyAustralia Swim Team, Swimming Australia is recognised as one of the leaders in Australian sport and has almost 100,000 members and just over 1100 swimming clubs nationwide.

As outlined in the below Strategic Plan, Swimming Australia is fostering continued growth and development of the sport at all levels. A combination of industrious administration, key stakeholder relations and forward planning has assured a sustainable future for swimming in this country.

Partner this with Swimming Australia’s burgeoning sponsor portfolio that includes principal sponsor EnergyAustralia, the Australian Sports Commission, Speedo, Swisse, ANPHA, Accor, Singapore Airlines, and broadcast partner Network Ten and you understand why swimming is one of the nation's most highly participated sports.
