  • 2020 Hancock Prospecting WA Swimming Championships Preview
    2020 Hancock Prospecting WA Swimming Championships Preview With the end of January approaching quickly, you can’t help but feel the excitement as the 2020 Hancock Prospecting WA Swimming Championships are ready to take place. With many elite swimmers from across the State and Australia preparing for a massive 2020, which will hopefully include the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, this weekend’s Meet carries more weight than usual. After the recent change to the Olympic selection process, including moving the Olympic and Paralympic Selection Meet to June. The 2020 Hancock Prospecting WA Swimming Championships will provide many coaches with the opportunity to test their athletes to determine what moves need to be made leading into Trials and beyond. Some of the key athletes to watch – Brianna Throssell – UWA-West Coast, c: Michael Palfery Swimming WA ambassador and World Record Holder, Brianna Throssell will have a heavy weekend of racing including the 100m and 200m Freestyle. Throssell, who played a pivotal part in Australia’s World Record effort in the 4x200m Freestyle Relay at the 2019 FINA World Championships will be raring to go leading into a potential second Olympic berth. The Australian’s will once again go into Tokyo as the red-hot favourites in the 4x100m and 4x200m Freestyle Relays, and given Throssell’s form over past seasons, spectators may get an early view of an Olympic Gold Medallist in action. Also of note, Throssell has entered into the Women’s 200m Butterfly, an event she swam in at the past 2016 Rio Olympics. Throssell’s lifetime best would have seen her claim Gold at the 2019 FINA World Championships.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

CA is one of 59 Local Swimming Committees (LSCs) within USA Swimming. USA Swimming is one of the National Governing Bodies (NGBs) under the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the USOC is part of the Federation Internationale de Natation (FINA). FINA is the swimming organization within the International Olympic Committee (IOC)….the group that organizes the Olympics. So, your club is the grassroots level of membership for swimming that goes all the way up to the Olympics! From San Luis Obispo down to San Clemente and over to Las Vegas, we have about 25,000 athletes, coaches, officials and parent volunteers in our membership. Because our LSC is so large--the largest membership in the country--we have 6 Geographic sub- Committees: Coastal, Desert, Eastern, Metro, Pacific and Orange to help with administration and local competitions. CA oversees registration for all our clubs and individual members, swim meet sanctions—roughly 400 swim meets per year are sanctioned/approved by CA, multiple camps and all-star teams, as well as educational programs for everyone.
