2021 Australian Age Swimming Championships

The 2021 Australian Age Swimming Championships is a favoured event on the swimming calendar. With COVID-19 halting the event in 2020, the 2021 edition is set to be one of the biggest yet. The event will form part of the selection process for the international junior benchmark events for 2021.

A change to the program will see the multi-class age and multi class open Australian championships staged at the beginning of the event, with the able-bod events commencing on 7 April.

QUALIFYING TIMES

Swimming Australia has been monitoring how swimmers’ have been progressing due to COVID-19 over the summer.
We are pleased to advise that we have revised the QT’s which can be found under the competitors tab below which will allow more swimmers’ to qualify given the difficult year it has been across our community.

COVID SAFE PLAN AND TICKETING

Swimming Australia is working through its COVID safe obligations and will have more information regarding ticketing in the near future. We appreciate your patience as we navigate these challenges.

WILL THE EVENT GO AHEAD?

We’re planning full steam ahead for our April events on the Gold Coast. In addition, we have been working with every Member Organisation to ensure if there is one or more border closures for swimmers’, coaches and their families, that we have commenced planning of what may be possible for swimmers in their home state.
