ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 3 Foreword from the Minister Message from Senator the Hon Don Farrell Minister for Sport

The Australian Government, through Sports Commission (ASC), is a strong supporter of swimming in Australia.

In 2012/13, we invested more than $10 million to support our elite swimmers and encourage participation across the country.

Swimming continues to be one of Australia’s most popular sport and recreation activities and the development of participation programs, like Ready. Set. Race, will help attract another generation of young Australians into the sport.

I would like to acknowledge the large number of volunteers who make it possible for Australians to participate in their chosen sport, week in and week out. relies heavily on the countless number of people who volunteer their time and effort, often working behind the scenes with little acknowledgement.

The Australian Government is committed to raising the bar in high-performance sport. Australian athletes are supported by programs from talent identification and development, coaching, use of science, technology and innovation; through to management and administration. It is fundamental to success that the standards of excellence and accountability that are set in all of these areas are the same as those expected of our athletes on competition day.

Through the ASC, the Government is committed to achieving the goals set out in the Australia’s Winning Edge initiative, ensuring Australian athletes can move from world class to world best, and inspiring greater levels of participation at the grassroots level.

High-performance sport relies on a strong community sport sector for its talent pool, and community sport relies on high-performance success to inspire young Australians to participate in sport. Sport in our society is changing at a rapid pace. The message for sports, and many have already acted, is that sport must invest in innovation to keep their sport strong and sustainable over the long term.

Finally, 2012 was an exciting year for swimming with our elite swimmers performing on the world stage at the 2012 Olympics Games and Paralympics Games. Our Olympic swimmers won 10 medals, with ’ achievement of five medals – equalling and as the best individual medal performances at a single Olympic Games – a standout performance.

Our Paralympic swimmers were outstanding, winning 18 gold, seven silver and 12 bronze for a total of 37 medals, and finishing second on the medal tally. was exceptional, winning eight gold medals, while Matthew Cowdrey won five gold medals to bring his overall tally to 13 gold medals, making him the most successful Australian Paralympian ever.

The Australian Government looks forward to ongoing collaboration with the sport sector to encourage more people into sport and to drive Australia’s continued sporting success.

Senator the Hon Don Farrell Minister for Sport

4 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD. Board Report

Firstly, and on behalf of the stakeholders, coaches, parents and supporters of this great sport; the Board of Swimming Australia would like to congratulate the 82 swimmers who represented Australia at the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. The Olympic and Paralympic Games is the pinnacle for any athlete or coach, and it is both an honour and a fantastic achievement to represent the Australian Swim Team and the wider swimming family on such a stage.

Led by gold in the women’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay, Australia won a total of 10 medals at the London Olympics, finishing seventh on the medal tally, with Alicia Coutts equalling Ian Thorpe and Shane Gould’s record of five medals at one Olympics. Alicia Coutts, , and all won individual silver medals, while Coutts and took home individual bronze as well, with a total of 19 countries medalling in the pool at the Games.

Two weeks later at the Paralympic Games, Australia dominated in the pool to win a total of 37 medals, including 18 gold, seven silver and 12 bronze. Led by a clean sweep of eight gold medals from eight events for Jacqui Freney, and a further five gold to Matthew Cowdrey to extend his all-time total to a staggering 13, the Australian team produced their best-ever performance at a Paralympic Games in the pool. Fourteen athletes returned home with one or more medals to their name, including gold in three of the four relays to highlight Australia’s overall strength and dominance.

Outside of the pool and performances on the world stage, the Swimming Australia family welcomed a new partner through the establishment of the Georgina Hope Foundation Swimmers Support Scheme (GHFSSS) in November 2012. To Mrs Georgina Rinehart, a supporter of swimming in Australia since 1992, who we approached over a year ago to assist in the support of further developing swimmers in and out of the water; thank you for answering our call. We are extremely grateful for your foresight in setting up the GHFSSS and your commitment to our athletes. This fantastic initiative will provide the necessary financial support for our swimmers to train and prepare to the best of their ability, and to meet the challenges ahead over the next four years.

To the Australian Sports Commission, who was instrumental in presenting the sport with a further blueprint for success through An Independent Review into Swimming (Smith, 2013), which was released in February 2013; thank you for your continued support. Our restructured High Performance Unit is already working towards delivering on the Australia’s Winning Edge initiative designed to take our sport forward towards the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and beyond.

To our partners, , Network Ten, Swisse, Dairy Australia and Be the Influence – Tackling Binge Drinking program; your support does not go unnoticed and we look forward to continuing to develop relationships and opportunities for all over the coming years. We would also like to thank EnergyAustralia for their support in 2012 and 2013.

The Board would like to thank our staff for their efforts building on our three strategic pillars - Partnerships, Performance and Participation. We also note the contributions of former Presidents David Urquhart and Barclay Nettlefold and former CEO Kevin Neil. We also note the contribution of Jeremy Turner as Interim CEO for part of the period.

We would also like to welcome Mark Anderson as the new CEO of Swimming Australia. Prior to joining us, Mark had a successful term as CEO of Hockey Australia and we are delighted to have him on the team.

Finally we would like to acknowledge all our volunteers who are the bedrock of our sport. From all our technical officials at the bigger events to the mums and dads who keep all our member clubs operating, our sport would not be what it is without them. Thank you!

Swimming Australia Board

ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 5 CEO Report

The start of this Olympic and Paralympic cycle has brought with it some transitional change for Swimming Australia Limited (SAL). Having commenced in the Chief Executive Officer role at the start of May, I feel very honoured to be provided with the opportunity of leading this great sport on behalf of all of our members and stakeholders. We have a proud history within our sport and I feel very positive about our future, both in and out of the pool.

In my first two months in the role, I have had the opportunity to travel to every state and territory to meet with all of our key stakeholders and their boards. I thank each of you for the warm welcome I received in every location. It has become clearly evident just how much passion and pride there is for this great sport around the nation and I look forward to working with all of you over the coming months and years to continue the growth and development of our sport.

It is also clear that we have a very dedicated and professional staff at SAL, who are committed to seeing the organisation develop across every level of the sport. I would like to recognise the previous CEO Mr Kevin Neil’s contribution to the organisation and thank all of the management team and staff for their efforts over the previous 12 months. I would personally like to thank Interim CEO Jeremy Turner for his assistance in providing a very comprehensive handover when I commenced in the role.

We all know swimming has a proud history of success in this country. Recent results in the pool have been extremely encouraging with the 42 swimmers who represented Australia at the 2013 FINA World Championships in Barcelona for the pool and open water competition, and the 19 swimmers in Montreal for the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships.

Our trials in showed that we are once again developing young champion swimmers who are among the best in the world. These results are testament to the hard work and dedication by our athletes, coaches and their families.

We must continue to focus on the elite end of our sport, as continued success in the global arena is critical. However, our attention will also focus on the development of swimming at a community level. A strong and vibrant base is extremely important and we will be looking at ways we can work with our states and other critical stakeholders to assist in the development of our sport at the entry level, in addition to the focus at the elite end. As we are all aware, each of our champion athletes started out in just this environment.

We thank EnergyAustralia for their support across the 2012/13 season. To our current partners, Speedo, Network Ten, Swisse, Dairy Australia and the Be the Influence – Tackling Binge Drinking program; we greatly appreciate the support and acknowledge your commitment at the start of this new four-year cycle. To our other valued partners, including the Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Institute of Sport, State Institutes of Sport, the Australian Olympic Committee, the Australian Paralympic Committee and Australian Association; we also greatly appreciate your support and contribution to our programs. In addition to the Board’s acknowledgement, I would also like to recognise the contribution of Mrs Georgina Rinehart and her team in the establishment of the Georgina Hope Foundation Swimmers Support Scheme. This significant contribution to our athletes is greatly appreciated. To all of our partners, we thank you for your continued faith in our sport and our athletes. We strongly believe that we will deliver on this trust over the coming four years and beyond.

The time for review and reflection following the previous cycle is over. We are very focussed on delivering across this next Olympic and Paralympic cycle and beyond, to ensure continued, sustained success. I look forward to working with you all to deliver on our plans and contributing to the further growth and development of this great Australian sport.

One international and six national events were delivered during the last financial year, including the inaugural BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series held in , WA, and the Australian Swimming Championships held in Adelaide, SA, which were both broadcast by Network Ten on One HD.

The BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series saw the Australian Swim Team take on the might of and , and take out the honours of inaugural champions. Australian Swim Team members Christian Sprenger and Cate Campbell also took out the male and female individual swimmer of the meet, banking $30,000 between them. This two-day event achieved a global media value of $2.3 million in its first year, and was broadcast into 10 international markets.

The open water and community engagement components of the event were also a standout success. More than 300 elite and recreational swimmers dived into Perth’s Swan River for the open water challenge for races between 500m and 10km. Australian’s Melissa Gorman and Rhys Mainstone won the elite 10km in a jam-packed international field.

The community program reached more than 14,000 children throughout Western Australia. Visiting four regions, 12 times, the program took past swimming and water polo champions far and wide in Western Australia, including visits to towns such as Broome, Bunbury, Busselton, Derby, Esperance, Kalgoorlie, Kambalda, Newman, Port Hedland and the remote communities of Bidydanga and Jigalong. The program has received critical acclaim by all stakeholders in Western Australia with 89 percent of the communities it visited stating it had made a positive impact on their town.

The national program of Australian Championship events were again delivered to the membership with nearly one event in each state and more than $8 million of economic impact nationally. Performance at each event was outstanding with the swimming at the Australian Swimming Championships in April a clear standout. In 2013, all swimming events were held in an inclusive format with multi-class and able-bodied swimmers competing together. A new innovation was also delivered for the multi-class scoring system, enabling the automatic processing of results and making Australia one of the event leaders in this field. More than 25,000 people attended SAL events during the year.

8 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD. ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 9 Commercial

The last 12 months has signified some important developments in the commercial area of the sport with two new major initiatives being delivered equating to a $20 million injection over the next four years.

In November 2012, Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) announced a significant partnership with Mrs Georgina Rinehart via the establishment of the Georgina Hope Foundation Swimmers Support Scheme. Providing funding over four years, the foundation supports high-performance pathways for Australian swimmers ensuring they each have every opportunity to train and compete at the highest possible level.

In January 2013, swimming welcomed global brand BHP Billiton into its stable as naming rights partner to the annual BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series event held in Perth, WA. Through the support of BHP Billiton and the Western Australian Government through Eventscorp, Swimming Australia and Swimming WA delivered this new event into Perth for the first time in January 2013 and will do so again in 2014 and 2015.

The existing partnership portfolio again featured national and global brands that each played a vital role in supporting our nation’s current and up-and-coming swimming champions. Thank you to official partners Speedo and Swisse, broadcast partner Network Ten and sponsors Be the Influence – Tackling Binge Drinking program, Singapore Airlines, Accor, Dairy Australia and 2XU for their ongoing support throughout the last year.

For 81 years, Speedo has been supporting Australian swimmers compete at the highest level. In 1932, the first Australian won an Olympic gold medal wearing Speedo at the Los Angeles Olympic Games and since then countless more have been won in the brand, with the latest being members of the women’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay team in London. Speedo’s length of support of all things swimming in Australia is unmatched by any other swimming apparel partnership in the world and would go close to being the longest standing sporting partnerships globally. As the sport moves into the next 12 months, SAL will be celebrating this milestone with partners, members and the wider swimming community.

The departure of naming rights partner EnergyAustralia in June was a disappointment to the sport and has left a considerable opportunity for a new brand to fill. Acknowledgement and thanks go to EnergyAustralia for their support of grassroots programs up to the elite level during their 18-month tenure, in particular the pivotal role played in growing the Go Swim member recruitment program. As swimming continues to rebuild, refocus and reenergise, the search for a new partner begins.

This year also saw the end of a three-year relationship with Singapore Airlines and thanks go to this global airline for their support during this time.

Swimming Australia has also developed strong relationships with destination partners across Australia throughout the last 12 months. These relationships are critical for event commercialisation and profile, and their support is highly valued. Special acknowledgements go to South Australian Events, Tourism Western Australia through Eventscorp and Queensland Events.

10 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD. Marketing & Communications

An Olympic and Paralympic year always presents outstanding opportunities for the sport of swimming. The ability of our swim teams and athletes to dominate media coverage at both Games is a testament to our proud history as Australia’s most successful Olympic and Paralympic sport. Such profile and focus on performance in the pool brings with it excitement and expectation, and also provides the sport with new opportunities to engage with a wider audience.

There is no doubt the success of the Paralympic team in London has led to increased opportunities around profiling Paralympic athletes, and those opportunities are well overdue. Promoting Olympic and Paralympic sports outside the major events continues to be a challenge, however such is the competitive nature of the Australian sporting landscape. The post-Olympic and Paralympic market has seen the sport endure a number of challenges over the last 12 months, coming down off the extraordinary profile and interest that comes each quadrennial.

From a marketing sense, the first challenge of the year was to launch a new international event in Perth, some 15 years since the city had hosted a major swimming meet – the 1998 FINA World Championships. Working with BHP Billiton and Tourism WA, the BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series was promoted as ‘We’re all swimmers’ and the feedback for a foundation year was certainly positive. As a chance to showcase the Australian Swim Team, the event is unique in Australia, and leveraging this opportunity will only increase the overall profile of the brand of the Swim Team and the event itself.

From Perth, we moved to Adelaide for the Georgina Hope Swimmers Foundation Australian Age Championships and then the EnergyAustralia Swimming Championships, both held at the SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre.

Billed as the chance to ‘See Australia’s best’, our swimmers delivered in spades with world-class performances in the pool. However the difficulty of marketing a national championships event in the same city for a second year in a row proved a challenge. Crowd figures were well down on the previous year’s sell-out event for the Olympic Trials, with school holidays also impacting on the ability to involve schools for heats sessions. To promote the event, a clear decision was made to be more inclusive with the marketing and imagery, which brought together a look and feel involving hundreds of swimming images of athletes of all ages and abilities to create one large hero image as a collage. This image can be seen on the front cover.

The ever-changing media and communications landscape also provided a number of challenges for the sport over the last 12 months. It’s clear that sports fans are consuming their media through many different platforms, both traditional and new media, and both the media and sporting organisations are always looking for the best way to engage with these fans. The short answer is the traditional ways of promoting the sport through television, radio and newspaper coverage are still vitally important, however the demands on more regular, edgy and newsworthy content have increased tenfold.

To meet the challenges ahead and tailor our messages and content for the most fanatical swimming fans to those sports-mad Australians, we have to be creative and strategic with our approach. Already Swimming Australia Limited has made a more concerted effort to provide video and more digital-specific social media content, and this will only increase as we move towards Rio 2016.

To the traditional media who cover our sport, day in and day out; thank you for your continued support and interest in Australia’s most successful Olympic and Paralympic sport. To those who tweet, post, comment and upload; thanks also for your contribution to promoting this great sport of ours.

ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 11 High Performance Unit

The competitive swimming calendar for this year was dominated by the most important meets of our athletes’ careers: the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Games of the 30th Olympiad and the 14th Paralympic Games were conducted in the brand new aquatic facility in the purpose-built Olympic and Paralympic precinct in London.

After much anticipation, the Australian Olympic Swim Team returned from London with one gold medal, six silver medals and three bronze medals. While this result was below expectations, nothing should detract from the amazing efforts of Cate Campbell, Brittany Elmslie, Melanie Schlanger and Alicia Coutts who won gold in the women’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay on the opening night of competition. Special acknowledgement also goes to , and Emily Seebohm who contributed significantly with their heat swims.

The Paralympics not only unearthed a superstar, it also cemented the reputation of one of Australia’s greatest swimmers and saw the Australian team return with its best-ever off-shore Paralympic result. At just 20 years of age, Jacqueline Freney won eight gold medals, the most ever by an Australian at a single Paralympic Games. Also winning eight medals (five gold, two silver and one bronze) bringing his total gold medal count from three Games to 13, Matthew Cowdrey, became Australia’s greatest Paralympian. The performances of Freney and Cowdrey were part of an overall team result that won 18 gold, seven silver and 12 bronze medals and finished second on the gold medal table.

Following the London Olympics, the Federal Government, the Swimming Australia Board and the Australian Olympic Committee launched three reviews into various aspects of the High Performance Unit at Swimming Australia Limited (SAL).

The two reviews, An Independent Review into Swimming (Smith, 2013) and The Bluestone Review into Culture and Leadership (Grange, 2013) separately investigated administration, practices, culture and leadership. In addition, the Australian Olympic Committee investigated the inappropriate use of prescription medication by members of the Australian team.

ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 13 Many of the key recommendations in both reviews have already been implemented or are in the process of being acted upon. These steps will position SAL to improve its performance in and out of the pool as we build towards the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and beyond.

The results at the 2013 EnergyAustralia Swimming Championships showed positive signs as swimmers, supported by their coaches, performed exceptionally well while aiming to be selected on the Australian Swim Team to compete at either the 2013 FINA World Championships or 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships. Qualification for both events required athletes to swim at a level that would have made at least a final at the 2011 FINA World Championships and there were some very good performances that have the team in good stead for international competition.

In late 2012, the Australian Sports Commission announced a major strategic shift for its operations. Titled Australia’s Winning Edge, at the highest level, these changes fell across two broad areas; all National Sporting Organisations (NSO) will now be required to present a business case to justify the Government’s investment and are required to take total responsibility for the delivery of their sporting programs. This announcement required the High Performance Unit (HPU) to prepare and present its Australia’s Winning Edge business case to an assessment panel. This was a significant undertaking that would ultimately determine the level of investment that the Federal Government would make to SAL. The second significant outcome of theAustralia’s Winning Edge initiative was that the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) would no longer lead the delivery of sport programs; instead, that responsibility would also rest with NSO should they wish to have a program. By late 2013, SAL will manage all aspects of the HPU program at the AIS in Canberra.

The year also saw structural changes within the HPU as a number of staff changed their roles or moved to another organisation. Leigh Nugent (National Head Coach), (National Paralympic Program Coach), Greg Towle (National Open Water Program Head Coach) and Bernard Savage (High Performance Science Manager) ended their time with SAL and Vince Raleigh (High Performance Youth Coach) moved into an on-deck coaching role. The significant contribution to swimming in Australia that each of these men made must be acknowledged.

Wayne Lomas acted in the role of Director of High Performance to support the submission of the Australia’s Winning Edge business case, while took up the role of Paralympic High Performance Manager.

In May, Michael Scott commenced in the role of Director of High Performance. A highly experienced and capable high-performance leader, Michael’s role will be to lead all aspects of Australia’s high-performance swimming program and help the whole Australian Swim Team to achieve repeatable, sustainable success at the international level.

1414 SWIMMINGSWIMMING AUSTRALIAAUSTRALIA LTD.LTD. Illicit Drugs in Sport Program

Swimming Australia Limited has received ongoing funding from the Australian Government to deliver education and promote community awareness to pre-emptively tackle the potential harms associated with the use of illicit drugs and alcohol. These initiatives were delivered to a wide range of stakeholders, including athletes, coaches, support staff, parents and spectators. The Illicit Drugs in Sport (IDIS) Program and the Club Champions Program were delivered with support from the Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport and the Department of Health and Ageing.

Aquatic Strategy

Throughout 2012/13, the Aquatic Strategy Unit (ASU) has been actively involved in contributing design and operating information into a number of new aquatic facilities. This has included supporting applications to Government funding programs that can help bring these capital projects to fruition. The current construction of facilities part-funded by state and federal government in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania, and the final detail design of new projects in Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland, has ensued from this process. This will provide additional options for growing the sport in both local and regional communities.

Whilst a number of new and redeveloped facilities are progressing, the cost of improvement of facilities built in the ’60s and ’70s remains a major challenge for local government. The ASU continues to share information with councils to assist their decision-making and help provide a rationale for the existence of a swimming environment for all communities.

Education and support to clubs and coaches on facility issues continues to be a focus of the ASU. Helping all sectors of the sport to understand the trends in aquatic facility management and operation, and the implications for swimming, is vital to ensuring the sport continues to have access to water space. Presentations on strategic club planning, engagement with owners and operators, and how to prepare agreements have been delivered during 2012/13. Further presentations to industry bodies have also been delivered to help build relationships and to grow the opportunities for industry partnerships.

In 2012/13 Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) continued to identify commercial opportunities connected to aquatic facilities and to prepare for investment into these areas. This includes areas where SAL can support existing commercial and non-commercial operators that contribute to the sport pathway or to launch into new areas independently.

ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 15 Community Sport

Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) remains committed to growing and strengthening the grassroots of the sport in conjunction with our stakeholders, corporate partners and the Government. The revised Community Swimming Strategy is providing the sport with a nationally agreed direction and local delivery of programs. SAL continues to provide participation programs, club development and support for coaches and officials.

Over 5,500 participants took part in the inaugural GO Swim Month during October 2012. Close to 100 locations hosted a GO Swim Day offering a celebration of everything great about club swimming with novelty races, athlete appearances, club BBQs and plenty of giveaways.

New members of the sport who are under 12 years of age were welcomed with a GO Swim New Member Kit when they joined a club. Almost 22,000 kits were distributed in the last 12 months by state associations.

In its seventh year of operation, the Junior Excellence (JX) program gave children aged 9-13 years times and goals to strive for during the season. Participants have the ability to compare their performances on a national scale without leaving their district. SAL, in conjunction with state and territory swimming associations, is proud to nationally recognise over 13,000 JX awardees in 2012/13.

The Youth Performance Squad (YPS) has recognised over 2,300 swimmers aged 13-18 years old for their performance in 2012/13. This program has become integral in the identification of up-and-coming athletes. YPS takes over where JX finishes, and provides more of a focus on taking the next step towards high-performance swimming. Congratulations to all swimmers who qualified for these programs.

SAL continues to support clubs through the club standardising program, GO Club PB. This year the program saw 336 clubs participate and identify areas of strength and weakness so they can provide improved services to members. Twenty two clubs attained the gold-level standard, with eight clubs reaching platinum level, which is recognition for achieving five consecutive years of gold-level standard. The GO Club administration resources have been utilised in forums to educate swimming clubs and club personnel to improve performance and management structures, providing a better environment for all Swimming Australia members.

The Inclusive Club Standard, which provides clubs with information on their capacity to deliver programs for people with disability, saw 195 clubs voluntarily participate and be recognised. Administrators from these clubs will now have the capacity to effect change and improve on their ability to implement inclusive club practices.

SAL has continued to reward clubs who participate in the GO Club PB program by offering $100,000 worth of gear through the Club Equipment Grants. Clubs applied for a range of equipment, including laptops, underwater cameras and dry-land packs. We are proud to continue offering this program with 80 clubs receiving gear in 2012/13.

Local Legends provided club members with the mechanism to be able to thank volunteers who donate countless hours of their time. Over 390 nominations were received during the season with Jenni Trewren named Volunteer of the Year at the 2012 EnergyAustralia Swimmer of the Year Awards for her efforts. We thank all of the great volunteers that contribute so much to this sport.

With the support of the Australian Government through the Indigenous Sport and Active Recreation Program, SAL has continued to deliver programs throughout Australia reaching more than 3,000 participants. Indigenous children have the opportunity to gain vital skills in and around the water to improve safety and to lead healthy, active lifestyles.

The National Officiating Program continues to be led by the Technical Management Advisory Committee (TMAC). TMAC and the State and Territory Swimming Associations have all contributed to the development of the National Officiating Framework, which ensures that the sport continues to focus on the recruitment, retention, education, support and development of officials. There are over 4,600 officials who are accredited through the National Officiating Program and we look forward to their continued involvement at all levels of the sport. John Hart and Damian Van de Berg were awarded the 2013 Australian Sports Commission’s Officiating Scholarship.

There is a renewed focus on community coaching with the development of the new Bronze Course. This course will soon be offered online to ensure that no matter where a coach is based they will be able to access world leading coach education. SAL continues to work closely with the Coach Accreditation Review Management Advisory Committee, Australian Swimming Coaches & Teachers Association and the State and Territory Swimming Associations to support coaches at all levels of the sport.

Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) Life Member William Willis OAM passed away in this year.

William ‘Bill’ Willis sadly passed away after more than 50 years of service to the Australia swimming community. Bill achieved a lot in the volunteer space and dedicated a lot of his time and effort to a variety of roles in swimming.

Bill’s passion for swimming began when he volunteered at his children’s local club, Langlands Swim Club. For the next 15 years the Brisbane Swimming Association was lucky enough to have Bill on their Management Committee before he was elected to the Executive Committee for the Queensland Amateur Swimming Association (QASA). In 1973, Bill was appointed as an Australian selector, a role only someone with passion for the sport could do so well for over three-and-a-half decades. Bill was an organised man; he managed to multitask his QASA committee role alongside his role as a Queensland selector for an amazing 33 years.

To recognise Bill’s extensive voluntary work for the sport of swimming, he was awarded Life Membership by three organisations, including Brisbane Swimming Association, Swimming Queensland and SAL.

The honourable Order of Australia Medal was awarded to Bill in 2006 for his far-reaching service to swimming.

It is a great loss to the swimming community to lose someone so selfless and committed.

Other members of the swimming community who have passed away during the year include:

• Nancy Dixon – Life Member of Swimming NSW • Henry ‘Harry’ Schofield – Life Member of Swimming NSW • Isa Wye MBE – Life Member of Swimming NSW

18 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD. From the Stakeholders Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association

The Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association (ASCTA) continues to help shape the landscape of swimming in Australia through coach and teacher education. Our Partnership Agreement with Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) has galvanised a long and respected relationship that will bring about significant advancements for the sport in terms of coach and teacher development. In regards to the Partnership Agreement, special thanks to Kevin Neil and Jeremy Turner for managing negotiations from the SAL end during very challenging times.

Congratulations to all coaches who have placed swimmers on Australian Swimming representative teams in 2012 and 2013, as well as the Australian Olympic Team Coaches. Your outstanding service to your athletes and your country cannot be understated.

The annual asctaCONVENTION – ASCTA’s ‘crown jewel’ event – continues as a world leader thanks to the wonderful contribution of the presenters, sponsors and staff. This event also gives Swimming Australia’s Stakeholders an opportunity to come together. A wide range of state/regional based events, conducted by ASCTA, Swim Australia and/or the asctaBRANCH, provides a host of high-quality professional development and networking opportunities. Positively, the contribution to many of these events by the relevant State Swimming Association continues to grow.

In terms of enhancing professional development, the ‘building’ of the asctaCOLLEGE continues to gather momentum and will lead us all into a new stratosphere in coach development. Coaches will have clearer pathways and receive greater recognition and reward for their ongoing development. A greater embracement of technology and modern learning protocols will be a feature. Access, affordability and relevance will be benefits. The advent of an ASCTA National Coaching Development Manager (Terry Lalor) has been a major plus in this area – a worthy investment by ASCTA for its members.

The ASCTA Board continues to look for opportunities in improving its broad role within the sport, with a soon-to-be-launched asctaVISION – incorporating the new asctaSTRATplan. Following on from the signing of the Partnership Agreement, the time is ripe for the Association to ensure its direction is the right one and the strategies to achieve its goals are in place and in the best interests of swimming. We continue to communicate our vision not only with our members but also with State Associations. We acknowledge the exceptional working relationship we have with all our Stakeholder Partners.

ASCTA’s Learn to Swim and Water Safety division, Swim Australia, continues to go from strength to strength. With over 600 Registered Swim School members, the ability to influence best practice is unmatched. The key is the regular, relevant engagement Swim Australia has with the swim schools. As a result, professional development events and other opportunities abound and new programs, such as SwimSAFER, are readily embraced.

At a time of significant challenges and change, I want to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing President Dave Urquhart and his Board and Executive for their various contributions (often unheralded).

The opportunity is also taken to thank the asctaBRANCHES for their worthy contributions and our own terrific staff – with David and Julie Speechley leading the asctaOFFICE and Jay Johnston doing the same at the Swim Australia office. Our CEO Ross Gage cuts across all areas of our sport and delivers the vision to the industry as a whole. Finally, much appreciation to the ASCTA Board who continue to challenge mediocrity and lead a bright future in coaching in Australia.

I look forward to working with incoming State and National Presidents in 2013 and strengthening our partnerships through shared vision and cooperation.

Ron McKeon President

ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 19 Australian Swimmers’ Association

The 2012/13 financial year has seen huge change for the Australian Swimmers’ Association (ASA) and the association’s members. The period did not start well, with the implementation of a new funding model that was not viewed or approved by the ASA. Luckily for all involved the issue was quickly recognised and steps were put in place to rectify the situation. With a new regime at Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) the relationship between the ASA and SAL has developed enormously in the year. Mrs Gina Rinehart’s decision to create the Georgina Hope Foundation Swimmers Support Scheme (GHFSSS) was a huge win for the sport and the athletes. The four-year $9 million agreement gives the professional athletes, along with developing talent, real financial security to perform at their potential. The GHFSSS more importantly frees up money within the SAL budget for other key areas.

Another promising aspect of the last 12 months is the increased responsibility being afforded to the ASA, with the association invited to sit on both the High Performance Committee and the GHFSSS board. In the early part of 2013, the Association also completed a Services Agreement with SAL, which will help the relationship between the two organisations by better defining the roles and responsibilities each will play leading into the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

The Association has continued to develop a series of member services to better care for the members in their lives, in and out of the pool. The Extended Pathways Program has continued to be a huge success and the Association is looking into starting the program in other major centres around the country. With the help of Swimming Queensland and SAL, the pilot program for an educational program has commenced in high schools in Queensland. The two DVDs Growing Up in Lycra and Making Champion Men will be presented to schools along with a swimmer to discuss their experiences using the vehicle of swimming to face the challenges of adolescence. This is a great way for the Association’s members to have a positive impact on hundreds of teenagers, and we hope to see the program delivered in more major centres shortly.

The Association’s AGM in November saw three new faces join the executive: Matt Abood, Tommaso D’Orsogna and Melanie Schlanger. We would also like to welcome Annabelle Williams who was appointed before the AGM to fill a vacated position on the executive. On behalf of the Association I would like to thank Matt Cowdrey, and , who stood down, for their work over the years and wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Finally I would like to personally thank our General Manager Dan Kowalski and the Association’s members. It has been a year with some tough periods but the dedication, loyalty and resilience shown by all has been truly inspiring.

Brenton Rickard President

20 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD. Swimming New South Wales

This year Swimming NSW launched its new four-year Strategic Plan, which outlines the direction we will undertake in guiding key decision making and allocation of resources against set objectives for the next quadrennium. The new plan provides a framework of both new initiatives as well as existing activities, which we can continue to build on over the course of the plan. We are pleased to report that already the Company is making good progress against these objectives and is well placed to deliver on our vision of being the premier swimming state in Australia.

An Olympic year is always a year of excitement for any Olympic sport and this year was no different. Swimming NSW is extremely proud of the NSW athletes who travelled to London to represent Australia and they all performed exceptionally well. For many athletes this was their debut Olympic and Paralympic Games and they achieved excellent results in these circumstances.

Financially, Swimming NSW is in a very sound position having achieved a small operational surplus this year after a few years of working with small deficits. We plan to keep growing our income without placing undue financial pressure on our members and are proud that Swimming NSW membership fees are the lowest of any state or territory in Australia.

One of the key achievements for this year was recording an increase in membership for the first time in many years. Much of this result can be attributed to our excellent volunteers at both club and area level who have worked tirelessly to create opportunities for parents and swimmers to participate in our sport. Our Development Officers have also played a role in supporting our clubs and areas, through the provision of various Development Days, attendance at school meets and having a presence in the local media promoting athlete achievements, as well as promoting the many benefits of joining a swimming club.

Due to his football commitments with the Canterbury Bulldogs, Alan Thompson resigned from the Board in February and Helen Deas was appointed by the Directors to fill Alan’s position. Helen has worked in the NSW Public Sector for over 25 years and will be a valuable member of our Board and an asset to Swimming NSW. She will bring many unique skills and experiences, which will benefit our sport. We would like to thank Alan for his valuable participation and contributions during his Directorship. His knowledge of swimming was a huge advantage for our Board and we believe that swimming in our state is in a better place due to his input.

Our events continue to be the showcase for our sport and entries for our Country, Metropolitan and State Championships continued to increase and we feel proud with the way they are organised and presented. They were all conducted in a highly skilled manner without any major disruptions or problems and continue to be a benchmark for all other states.

Swimming NSW will continue to prosper and overcome the many hurdles that will be put in our way, but we believe that we have the ability and dedication to overcome them as required and once again show the rest of Australia what a great organisation we are. We will continue to work diligently with our members at the forefront of our minds, as meeting and exceeding their expectations will ensure our long-term success.

Patrick Troy Mark Heathcote President Chief Executive Officer

ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 21 Swimming Northern Territory

The Association has enjoyed a year of strong growth with membership numbers increasing by 34 percent over 2012/13. Again, we experienced some staff turnover with the Indigenous Sport and Active Recreation Program losing an outstanding Development Officer in Jon Burns. After an exhaustive search we welcomed Mark Walker to fill this demanding but highly rewarding role on the 10th of December. We also farewelled long-term Director and President Clare Labowitch from the Board and despite some teething problems following her planned resignation we are on course to further develop from the foundations she helped put down. As our Community Swimming Officer has settled into the role we have increased the range of services, programs and activities as identified in the three pillars of the 2011-2016 Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) Strategic Plan: Partnerships, Performance and Participation.

We are very fortunate to maintain a strong suite of loyal sponsors and have enjoyed long-term relationships with leading national and regional companies, including Vorgee, Gatorade, McDonald’s, PowerWater, Bodyfit and Canterbury. Swimming Northern Territory also works collaboratively across all levels of Government to deliver mutually agreed outcomes on a wide range of programs. The Territory Government is a major contributor through the Peak Sporting Bodies Program with the significant increase promised in the recent election campaign proving fundamental in our ability to deliver development initiatives. The Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport provides substantial funding to ensure the Indigenous Sport and Active Recreation Program brings competitive swimming training principles to over 1,300 participants per annum from as far south west as Kintore, to Yirrkala in the north east. We are now in our fourth year of managing the delivery of the Bush Schools Swimming & Lifestyle Clinic in Alice Springs. This program is in partnership with SAL, Alice Springs Swimming Club and welcome funding provided by Northern Territory Sport & Recreation (NTSR) Active Remote Communities Program. Our relationships with local council in Alice Springs, Darwin and Palmerston continue to develop positively as we discuss the long-term vision for aquatic facilities in these regions.

Territory swimmers have qualified for Australian Championship events in increasing numbers over very recent years, and while these numbers are still relatively modest, the impact of the Swimming Northern Territory Incorporated (SNTI) Academy Program appears to be making a difference. The Academy Program is under continual review with the Athlete Development Committee working collaboratively with the Selection Committee to ensure the integrity of the program is maintained and swimmers across all disciplines have realistic targets and benchmarks. The Vorgee NT Short Course Championships are now becoming an important feature on our calendar with the third Championship meet having been held in the Alice Springs Aquatic and Leisure Centre. We were delighted to host 19 swimmers from the South Australian Development Squad this year and hope that this event may also fill a niche for other state affiliates in coming years.

We are delighted with our strengthening relationship with the Australian Swimming Coaches & Teachers Association (ASCTA) and the growth in ASCTA membership across the Territory in recent years. The combined efforts of ASCTA in committing to the SwimNT Conference and SNTI in providing subsidies to attend the 2012 and 2013 conferences has been instrumental in this growth.

Following the slight increase in membership in 2012/13, Swimming Northern Territory has now seen the benefit of a range of development and compliance initiatives to deliver a further increase, this year a massive 34 precent. Development initiatives that have driven this growth have included programs, such as School Sport Training & Carnivals, Ready. Set. Race days, Macca’s Mini Clinics and the Splash into the Dry series. Access to water space continues to threaten further growth and, along with the lack of an all-weather facility in Darwin, places swimming behind many competing sports when attracting new and servicing existing members. The input from SAL through Graeme Stephenson, General Manager Aquatic Strategy, has been most appreciated in this area.

Nicole Jones David Evans President Executive Officer

22 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD. Swimming Queensland

Alicia Coutts was Queensland’s most successful swimmer at the London 2012 Olympic Games. She became only the third Australian swimmer, after Shane Gould and Ian Thorpe, to win five medals at an Olympic Games. Alicia’s gold medal came as a member of the Australian team in the Women’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay, every member of which was a Queenslander.

Two Queensland swimmers won gold medals at the London 2012 Paralympic Games – Blake Cochrane in the Men’s SB7 100m Breaststroke, and Brenden Hall in the Men’s S9 400m Freestyle – and both set world records in the process.

Queensland once again took out both the Corbett and Kieran Shields as the premier state in the women’s and men’s divisions of the 2013 EnergyAustralia Swimming Championships.

Queensland’s winning streak at the Georgina Hope Swimmers Foundation Australian Age Championships reached 14 years in succession with victory in 2013. Queensland swimmers won a total of 26 individual gold medals and 21 Queensland coaches produced one or more gold medallists at the Championships.

Ten Queensland swimmers won gold medals at the 2013 Australian Open Water Swimming Championships, under the guidance of seven Queensland coaches. Queensland maintained its perfect record at the 2012 State Teams Short Course Championships, taking out the championships for the fourth consecutive year.

Eleven Queensland swimmers competed at the 2012 USA Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Queensland team won the trophy for the highest point score for the men’s and women’s divisions combined.

The Super Camp format, conducted four years out from the London 2012 Olympic Games, was resurrected as the focus turned towards the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The Road to Rio camp, held at The Southport School, catered for 77 swimmers and 20 coaches and was led by John Wallace.

A forum for referees and another for starters was held for officials from all regions, with a total of 51 participants.

The companion DVD to Growing Up in Lycra was completed during the year. Making Champion Men deals with the passage of young males into adulthood as they pursue their sporting dreams. It has been distributed to all male swimming members in Queensland aged 11 years and over and, under an agreement with the Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association, to 2,000 of its members around Australia.

The Swimming Queensland Hall of Fame became even more illustrious with the induction of Michael Bohl OAM, Geoff Heugill, Leisel Jones OAM, John Keppie OAM and Margaret Pugh OAM.

ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 23 SwimmingSA

The 2012/13 period has been an exciting one for SwimmingSA with the launch of the association’s new strategic plan. This plan encompasses the vision for continued sustainability of swimming in South Australia. Following an organisation review conducted in 2012, the Strategic Plan (launched in April 2013) includes key objectives in the pillars of Participation, Performance and Partnerships.

One such objective is to provide improved pathways for swimmers in South Australia. SwimmingSA has achieved this in 2013 with the appointment of a State Coach to develop and oversee the implementation of a pathway for success. Linked with the South Australian Institute of Sport, this program provided valuable sports science support to our elite swimmers. We look forward to continuing our relationship with them.

South Australian clubs continued to perform well on the national stage, with Marion Swimming Club placing fifth at the 2013 EnergyAustralia Swimming Championships. STARplex, Clovercrest and Norwood also placed in the top 80 clubs at the Championships. It was also pleasing to see the increased number of competitors representing their clubs and South Australia at the 2013 Georgina Hope Swimmers Foundation Australian Age Championships with 80 swimmers taking part. Individually we saw Sally Foster and Matthew Cowdrey gain selection for the Australian Swim Team for the 2013 FINA and IPC World Championships.

SwimmingSA has conducted over 50 sessions of competition during the year with an increased level of participation and performance. South Australia was also pleased to once again host both the 2013 EnergyAustralia Swimming Championships and the 2013 Georgina Hope Swimmers Foundation Australian Age Championships. We thank Swimming Australia Limited for holding two of the year’s major events in South Australia and we look forward to hosting the 2014 Australian Short Course Championships.

SwimmingSA also continues to prioritise the participation levels of the sport with the implementation of the Ready. Set. Race program, which is designed to provide a pathway for introduction to the sport. SwimmingSA has been excited to work with swim schools and key stakeholders to improve the accessibility of the sport. We are also enthusiastic to see an increase in the number and standard of swimmers achieving national recognition through the Junior Excellence and Youth Performance Squad programs.

We sincerely thank our directors, officers, committee members, officials, club and district volunteers and SwimmingSA staff for their continued efforts and commitment to South Australian swimming during 2012/13. SwimmingSA would also like to thank our key partners, the Office for Recreation and Sport, Speedo and EventsSA.

Bob Fox Michelle Doyle Chairman General Manager

24 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD. Swimming Tasmania

During 2012/13, Swimming Tasmania has focused specifically on the development of the organisation and the implementation of further initiatives to improve its operations. The Board is continuing to develop policies and support initiatives relating to all facets of the sport, including the advancement of the community based initiatives, the furthering of relationships with the broader Tasmanian community and a restructuring of Swimming Tasmania’s development program.

The Directors of Swimming Tasmania have worked cohesively as a Board and in sub-committees to ensure strategic direction and sound financial management, as demonstrated by some positive operational improvements to commercial aspects of the organisation. The commitment and input of the Directors is acknowledged, as is the dedication of the office staff.

Swimming Tasmania has continued to implement initiatives developed by Swimming Australia Limited (SAL), including the Junior Excellence and Ready. Set. Race programs, which have been positively embraced within the state.

Swimming Tasmania has continued to provide a high standard of service to all stakeholders, while further improving communication and administrative procedures. Various club development initiatives, including Club Presidents Forums, have been implemented throughout the state, ensuring the strengthening and ongoing development of all Tasmanian affiliated clubs. Swimming Tasmania has garnered positive and constructive feedback from stakeholders through various means.

Swimming Tasmania would like to acknowledge all of its partners for their continued support, with special mention to SAL. The co-operative relationship between SAL and Swimming Tasmania continues to strengthen. Swimming Tasmania remains extremely grateful for the assistance, advice and support willingly provided by the Directors and staff of SAL.

Swimming Tasmania looks forward to the continued growth and development of our sport in the coming year.

ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 25 Swimming Victoria

This year has seen Swimming Victoria continue to progress and succeed in many areas. We have had many reasons to celebrate success; from results in the pool through to the innovative programs we are progressing to benefit our community as a whole. It has been a testing but very rewarding year for Swimming Victoria with the development of key initiatives and partnerships that have helped improve the sport of swimming in Victoria.

Our year started with the highlights of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, where Victorian athletes achieved outstanding results on our sports biggest stage. We congratulate Ellie Cole, Matthew Haanappel, Tanya Hubner, , Matson Lawson and for representing Victoria with such distinction at both events. The 2013 Australian Championships, both Age and Open, saw outstanding individual and club results that have resulted in many athletes reaching personal bests, and a number of Victorian athletes achieving selection on national teams at Open and Junior levels.

Swimming Victoria events continued to attract high-class fields in 2012/13 with Olympic gold medallist Alicia Coutts and seven-time Paralympic gold medallist Jacqueline Freney competing at the Victorian Open Championships. Teams from Japan, , Singapore and Scotland also competed at Victorian events throughout the season.

In Victoria we have had a dual focus of strengthening our delivery in core activities while developing new opportunities and pathways to benefit our community as a whole. The Board is working with the Swimming Victoria team to continuously improve our delivery of events, development programs and provide greater opportunities for athletes, coaches and officials. My thanks to many of our great coaches and the High Performance Committee for their support and valued input as we embark on a new strategic framework to drive changes in our development and competition pathways.

Out of the pool, Swimming Victoria partnered with the Alfred Foundation in delivering a new initiative called ‘Swimtember’ to support the Alfred’s efforts in raising funds to support men’s health and promote the benefits of swimming to the wider Victorian community. We look forward to developing Swimtember as the organisation explores different avenues to attract new participants to the sport. The 2012/13 period also saw the launch of the Swimming Victoria Schools Support Initiative through Swimming Australia’s Participation Funding and the continuation of the Leadership Beyond the Pool program and Indigenous Swimming Program, which were all highly successful.

All of this work cannot be undertaken without the assistance of our sponsors. We are grateful for the benefits that Swimming Australia Limited, Engine Swim, VicHealth, the VIS and Sports and Recreation Victoria bring us, as well as the support of asctaVic, JLT Sport, Play It Safe By the Water, the Accor Group, Sports in Focus and Where to Enjoy.

Finally, Swimming Victoria unreservedly thanks our swimmers and their families, coaches, officials and our many volunteers along with the staff and Directors for all contributing to these great outcomes. I look forward to working with you all in the year ahead to continue developing our sport in Victoria.

Daniel Burger Warwick Waters President Chief Executive Officer

26 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD. Swimming Western Australia

The 2012/13 period proved to be a very successful one across many areas of swimming in Western Australia and for the organisation as a whole.

On an international scale, we saw the inaugural BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series come to fruition after years of development and planning. This exciting new initiative allowed for greater overall promotion of swimming in Western Australia, including the community program that complemented and encouraged the sport in regional and remote communities, such as the Goldfields, Kimberley and Pilbara. In year two, Swimming WA looks forward to taking a more active role in the community programs, which will be reaching even further across the state.

Western Australia hosted the 2012 Australian Short Course Championships. The success of the event was testament to our state’s ability to host national level events, further exposing our staff to best practice procedures and processes, and our swimmers to high-level competition.

In the 2012/13 season, the Swimming Western Australia Open Water Series broke all records for participation. The popularity of these events has translated into tangible results at a national level, with the performances of Rhys Mainstone and Simon Huitenga at the 2013 Australian Open Water Championships a highlight. In 2013/14 the series will incorporate the BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series as additional flat-water round and a relay-style event will be built into the final round.

Several key partnerships have been announced over the past year. Swimming WA welcomed the Hancock Family Medical Foundation as our new principal partner and sponsor. The growth of this partnership to a new level recognises the success of our long-standing association and will allow our sport to continue to grow in the future. Swimming WA also welcomed Speedo as a new major sponsor and is proud to be associated with such an iconic swimming brand.

Obviously a great deal of attention was focused on London in the previous 12 months. We watched wholeheartedly as Sally Foster embarked on her second Olympic Games, and Paralympian Jeremy McClure in his third Paralympic Games. For Blair Evans and Tommaso D’Orsogna at the Olympics, and Katherine Downie at the Paralympics, their long-term ambition to represent their country at this level was realised and they can be rightfully proud of their achievements. Out of the water, WA’s Ryan Arblaster was Australia’s sole pool official selected to officiate at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Swimming WA would like to recognise the contribution of the Department of Sport and Recreation, Healthway & SunSmart, Toyota WA, The Sunday Times and Perthnow, Speedo, Swimmers World, Venues West, EventsCorp, the West Australian Institute of Sport and Swimming Australia Limited. The support of our sponsors and partners is invaluable, and allows Swimming WA to continue to be a leader in swimming program delivery in Australia. We are extremely grateful for their continued support.

The opportunities for swimming in our state are virtually limitless. We look forward to continuing to explore this potential in the years to come.

FINANCIAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED

30 JUNE 2013

32 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT Your directors present this report on Swimming Australia Limited (the company) and controlled entities (the consolidated entity) for the financial year ended 30 June 2013. Directors The names of each person who has been a director during the year and to the date of this report are:

Name Title Mr Clem Doherty Director Mr Jeremy Turner Director Mr Peter Lozan Director Mr Tom Picton-Warlow Director Ms Nicole Livingstone Director (Appointed on 13/10/2012) Mr Graeme Johnson Director (Appointed on 13/10/2012) Ms Chloe Flutter Director (Appointed on 23/02/2013) Mr Gary Barclay Director (Reappointed on 13/10/2012) Mr Barclay Nettlefold President (Appointed on 13/10/2012, Resigned 2/6/2013) Mr David Urquhart President (Resigned on 13/10/2012) Mr Lawrie Cox Director (Resigned on 13/10/2012) Mr Mark Arbib Director (Resigned on 13/10/2012)

Directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) The following person(s) held the position of the CEO during the financial year: Mr Kevin Neil (Resigned 22/11/2012) Mr Jeremy Turner (Interim CEO from 23/11/2012 to 5/5/2013) Mr Mark Anderson (Appointed 6/5/2013)

Company Secretary The following person(s) held the position of the company secretary during the financial year: Mr Kevin Neil (Resigned 22/11/2012) Mr Brett Cartwright (Appointed 27/11/2012)

Principal Activities The consolidated group comprises of Swimming Australia Limited, Swimming Australia Foundation Trust and Swimming Australia Property Trust. The principal activities of Swimming Australia Limited were to: — Promote and encourage participation in swimming activities; — Promote unity among Australian Swimming organisations; — Make Australia the leader in world swimming; — Promote swimming as a spectator sport; — Ensure that the sport is kept free of performance enhancing drugs; — Administer the sport for the benefit of all participants; and — Act in all matters of an Australian nature regarding swimming;

ANNUAL REPORT 12/13 33

DIRECTORS’ REPORT The principal activity of the Swimming Australia Foundation Trust was to act as an investment vehicle for Swimming Australia Limited. The principal activity of the Swimming Australia Property Trust was to hold the Swimming Australia Office in trust. No significant changes in the nature of these activities occurred during the financial year.

Operating Results The consolidated entity’s surplus from ordinary activities for the financial period ended 30 June 2013 amounted to $1,933,320 (2012: $214,682). The individual surplus /deficit of each entity was: a) Swimming Australia Limited - Surplus : $787,555 (2012 Surplus : $184,944) b) Swimming Australia Foundation – Surplus : $1,078,558 (2012 Surplus: $2,777) c) Swimming Australia Property Trust – Surplus: $67,207 (2012 Surplus: $26,961).

Review of Operations A review of operations of the consolidated entity during the financial year indicated there was an increase in revenue by 33% and an increase in expenses by 25%.

Despite losing its major naming rights sponsor, Swimming Australia Limited achieved an unusually high operating surplus. This was primarily as a result of 2012-13 being a year of transition within the organisation. Following the 2012 London Olympic Games, there was a loss of many key staff and a restructure of the High Performance Unit, which resulted in some inactivity of programs and budget underspends.

The 2012-13 operating surplus will assist with SAL’s cashflow position and operations in the 2013-14 year, whilst a major naming rights sponsorship replacement is sought.

The 2012-13 operating surplus of the Swimming Australia Foundation was largely a result of favourable market conditions, resulting in unrealised investment gains.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs No significant changes in the consolidated entity’s state of affairs occurred during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

Future Developments The consolidated entity expects to maintain the present status and level of operations and hence there are no likely developments in the consolidated entity’s operations.

Environmental Issues The consolidated entity’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a state or territory.

The financial report covers the consolidated group of Swimming Australia Limited and controlled entities, and Swimming Australia Limited as an individual parent entity. Swimming Australia Limited is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements of the consolidated group of Swimming Australia Limited and controlled entities comply with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Accounting Policies a. Principles. of Consolidation A controlled entity is any entity over which Swimming Australia Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered. The consolidated group comprises of, Swimming Australia Limited, Swimming Australia Foundation Trust and Swimming Australia Property Trust. As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased). All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. b. Revenue. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Grant revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when it is controlled. When there are conditions attached to grant revenue relating to the use of those grants for specific purposes it is recognised in the balance sheet as a liability until such conditions are met or services provided. Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received unless they are designated for a specific purpose, where they are carried forward as prepaid income on the balance sheet.

46 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LTD. Swimming Australia Limited and Controlled Entities ABN: 14 109 333 628 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Revenue (continued) Income from investments is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). c. Inventories. Inventories consist of various publications, videos and corporate gifts and are measured at the lower of cost and current replacement cost. Inventories acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration are valued at the current replacement cost as at the date of acquisition. d. Property,. Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair values less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Property Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction), based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to a revaluation reserve in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same classes of assets are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the statement of comprehensive income and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Freehold land and buildings that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost are valued at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired. Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Plant and equipment that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost, are valued at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Property, Plant and Equipment (continued) The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Buildings 2.5% Motor Vehicles 33.3% Furniture and fittings 4% - 10% Computer and electronic equipment 33.3% Multimedia/Tech equipment 20%-33.3% Software 33.3%-50% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. e. Operating Leases Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. f. Financial Instruments Initial recognition, classification and subsequent measurement Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable

Financial Instruments (continued) performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial consolidated assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the entity’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantee) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Fair value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Impairment At each reporting date, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. g. Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon on the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and when the consolidated entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an assets class, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong.

h. Employee Benefits Provision is made for the consolidated entity’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance sheet date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from wages, salaries and annual leave which may be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the net present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions are made by the consolidated entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred. i. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. j. Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. k. Unexpended Grants The consolidated entity receives grant monies to fund projects either for contracted periods of time or for specific projects irrespective of the period of time required to complete those projects. It is the policy of the consolidated entity to treat grants monies as unexpended grants in the balance sheet where the consolidated entity is contractually obliged to provide the services in a subsequent financial period to when the grant is received or in the case of specific project grants where the project has not been completed. l. Contributions Swimming Australia Limited receives non-reciprocal contributions from the government and other parties for no or a nominal value. These contributions are recognised at the fair value on the date of acquisition upon which time an asset is taken up in the balance sheet and revenue in the income statement. m. Income Tax No provision for income tax has been raised as the company and consolidated entity are exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. n. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at balance date. o. Comparative Figures Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) p. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Key estimates — Impairment The consolidated entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions and events specific to the consolidated entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Fair value less costs to sell or current replacement cost calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. q. Economic Dependence Swimming Australia Limited is dependent on the Australian Sports Commission, Network TEN and Speedo for the majority of its revenue used to operate the business. At the date of this report the Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the Australian Sports Commission, Network Ten and Speedo will not continue to support Swimming Australia Limited. r. Forr eign Currency Transactions and Balances Foreign currency transactions during the year are converted to Australian currency at the rates of exchange at the end of the financial year. Assets and liabilities held in foreign currency are converted to Australian currency at the year-end exchange rate. Gains and losses due to for foreign currency conversion are recognised through the statement of comprehensive income. s. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The group does not expect to adopt the new standards before their operative date.
