We are also extremely proud that at the last NSW Sports Federation Awards Night our 2013 Open Championships received the prestigious award of “Sporting Event of the Year”.

As part of our commitment to the welfare and safety of children we recommend that all volunteers (including Technical Officials) undertake the “Working with Children Check” during 2015. For sport volunteers the check will be phased in during 2015 and while there are some exceptions Swimming NSW policy is that all volunteers should undertake the check. Please refer to the Swimming NSW website for full details of the process.

Overall I believe that Swimming NSW had a very successful year but there is still a lot that can be done to ensure that our achievements during the past are built on and that we do indeed, become “the Premier Swimming State in Australia”. We can only do this with the combined efforts of all our Clubs and Areas and all the people who belong to them.

I would like to acknowledge the dedication, loyalty and enthusiasm that Mark Heathcote and all our staff give to Swimming NSW. The huge amount of hours they contribute to ensure that the Company is efficiently run and that our members’ concerns and problems are being solved is greatly appreciated.

Pat Troy President Swimming NSW 10 | 2013 - 2014 SWIMMING NSW ANNUAL REPORT Message from the CEO

I am pleased to present to you the 117th Annual Report of Swimming New South Wales Limited.

This booklet contains reports on the competition and developmental areas of the sport along with a summary submitted by each of the Chairpersons of the Board, Competitions, Technical Swimming, Projects & Membership, Technical Open Water Swimming, High Performance and Audit and Risk Committees.

It will also highlight our significant achievements and awards of the past year as well as the Company financial performance through a comprehensive audit report.

ACHIEVEMENTS

This year Swimming NSW has made excellent progress against its strategic objectives, but we have certainly faced some challenges as well. This was the second year of the new four-year Strategic Plan which outlines the direction Swimming NSW 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 the Company can continue to build on over the course of the plan. Despite the challenges we have faced this year, we believe we remain well placed to deliver on our vision of being the premier swimming state in Australia.

Early in the year, EnergyAustralia withdrew their sponsorship of the sport of swimming which was a key contributor to a number of key projects and development pathways for Swimming NSW and Swimming Australia’s stakeholders. Swimming Australia responded to this change and is focused on positioning the sport in such a way to attract new corporate support in the coming year. Fortunately, from a Swimming NSW point of view, the Company is in a strong financial position which has allowed us to deal with any loss in sponsorship income without greatly increasing costs or reducing the services we provide our members.

The delayed implementation of the APT system has also been a source of angst and frustration across the sport as a whole. We recognise above all else that our volunteers and parents have been affected the greatest by the delays and it is for this reason that Swimming NSW has devoted significant resources to assisting Swimming Australia with delivering the full system as soon as possible. We have been strong advocates on behalf of our members to Swimming Australia to ensure the implementation of the system remains the number one priority for the sport. Furthermore, I am pleased to report that at the time of writing, the Swimming Australia Board has also acknowledged the significance of the project and has assigned further resources to assist in its swift implementation with progress now being made on a daily basis.

Although we were unable to repeat last year’s achievement of recording another membership increase, we believe that this was primarily due to the issues with the membership system. Prior to the system closing down in November 2013, the Company was well ahead of the previous year’s membership numbers when compared to the same time in 2012. This achievement only encourages us to work particularly hard over the coming year to ensure that Swimming NSW recruits and retains its membership base for 2015. The Company recognises that our tireless volunteers at both Club and Area level will play a vital role if we are to achieve this and we will offer whatever support necessary through our Development Officer network. Our Development Officers play an important 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 to promote athlete achievements as well as the many benefits of joining a swimming club. 2013- 2014 SWIMMING NSW ANNUAL REPORT | 11

Our Indigenous Participation programs have grown from strength to strength this year and we have greatly increased the number of learn to swim and water safety programs available to indigenous children and adults. We have been able to secure additional funding through the NSW Government which has allowed us to spread our programs further across the State and create an increased number of partnerships with Aquatic Centre’s in NSW. At any given point in time we have over 100 Indigenous Australians participating in learn to swim programs which is a great achievement for Swimming NSW and further emphasises the important role we play in water safety.

Our events continue to be the showcase for our sport and this year we experienced increased levels of participation in all of our events. We work diligently to ensure that our events remain current and are appropriate to the needs of our members and we also hope to continue to evolve our events to ensure that they provide the greatest level of customer satisfaction for our entrants. This year one of our flagship events, the NSW State Open Championships was recognised by the NSW Sports Federation as NSW Sporting Event of the Year, which was a fantastic result for the Company and also the staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make the event such a success.

This year we continued with the implementation of the ascta NSW and SNSW Coach Development Framework which provided a number of new and unique development opportunities for our coaches. Swimming NSW is committed to the success of this Framework in the coming years as it provides a consistent and well resourced career pathway at all levels for our NSW coaches. Coaches that are part of the program now have access to a yearly two-day development workshop, regular guest speakers who present on a wide variety of topics. This year we also had our first group of Coaches complete Tertiary education through the Framework which was a pleasing result for each of these Coaches.

NSW athletes continue to improve at both an Open & Age level achieving excellent results at both the National Open & Age Championships. We have increased our representation on all Swimming Australia teams and these athletes are now being selected from a variety of coaching programs across the State which indicates a greater degree of depth in our coaching ranks. We understand that there is still a lot of work to do in this area to remain competitive at both a National and International level and we expect that the introduction of the Coach Development Framework and Development Squad pathways will further drive success for NSW.

Swimming NSW has continued its support of Swimming NSW Aquatic Management and both organisations this year have concentrated their efforts on ensuring that our Clubs and Coaches have the water access they require to achieve their objectives. This has been difficult in the current environment but we expect that over time we will be able to achieve greater results in this important area.

As previously mentioned, our Development Officer network continues to work diligently to support the grass roots level of our sport. This year, in consultation with each of their Areas, our Development Officers ran numerous development activities such as assisting with the continued roll out of the Junior Excellence and Youth Performance Squad programs, supporting Clubs who wished to participate in the Swimming Australia Go Swim month and also conducting school and learn to swim visits. The Development Officers also delivered numerous Coaching Accreditation Courses and Team and Meet Manager Courses in addition to APT and Website training.

“Our events continue to be the showcase for our sport and this year we experienced increased levels of participation in all of our events.” 12 | 2013 - 2014 SWIMMING NSW ANNUAL REPORT

We conducted a full review of the Area Development program this year in consultation with both Swimming Australia and our Areas. This review resulted in a more structured Development Program that will be implemented this year which we firmly believe will assist our swimmers at great roots level to recognise their full potential and achieve their goals. This program will also ensure that similar opportunities are being offered to our swimmers no matter where they are based in NSW. We believe that by achieving excellence in our Area Development Programs this will drive future success for NSW at both National and International levels.

Swimming NSW maintains its support to our large volunteer base through our Technical Swimming Committee. This committee has worked closely with the Area Technical Swimming Coordinators to again conduct a significant amount of training which has resulted in a further increase in the number of new Technical Official Accreditations being achieved throughout the year. A number of activities are planned for the year ahead to provide further support and recognition for our hard working officials and volunteers.

I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the ongoing support of sponsors, Speedo, Courtyard by Marriott North Ryde, Office of Communities NSW – Sport & Recreation, and the Ministry for Police and Emergency Services. Without their generous support we would not be able to foster, control and develop the sport of swimming in NSW to deliver membership and development activities for the benefit of all of our members.

Swimming NSW has continued to capitalise on the changes we have made over the previous years, so as to ensure the continued improvement of our sport into the future. The Board and staff are well aware of the importance of continually evolving the administration of our sport to suit the modern day needs of our membership and this year we have aimed to achieve this through both increased and improved service to our members.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The Company recorded a profit for the financial year of $44,141 which was ahead of the original intended budget surplus of $22,795, which was a pleasing result for the Company.

The major reasons for the result are as follows:- hh Increased Donations, Sponsorship and Government Grants of $57,000. hh Increased Swim Meet Revenue of $65,000 due to increased entries and attendances. hh Increased Interest received of $9,000 due to higher returns achieved on the Company’s investments. hh A saving of $11,000 on Depreciation expenses across the course of the year. hh A saving of $16,000 on Insurance Premiums due to the excellent brokerage offered by JLT Sport, who work tirelessly to ensure they get the best premiums for our sport.

This gave the Company an Operating deficit of $83,032 and this was offset by our Swim Trade and Speedo Swim Shop profits to the value of $127,173.

We did experience a significant decrease in membership registration income this year due to the registration system being offline for an extended period but the Board and staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that the impact of this was minimised and that we were still able to record a surplus for the year.

The Board remains conscious that to ensure the continued financial strength of the Company that we must endeavour to record a small budget surplus each year and it is for this reason that we have again budgeted for this outcome for 2014/15. 2013- 2014 SWIMMING NSW ANNUAL REPORT | 13

MEMBERSHIP

The membership figures as at year end indicate a decrease in membership of 6% or 1973 to 30,724. As noted previously, much of this decrease can be attributed to the registration system being offline for an extended period over the summer season. Now that the registration system is active, albeit in a reduced capacity, we have been able to capture some members who weren’t able to register during the last financial year.

Our number one priority is to assist Swimming Australia with getting the APT system fully operational so we are ready for the 2014/15 registration season, with the view to increasing our membership to at least a level above what we achieved during the 2012/13 year.

It is our goal to continue to support the grass roots aspects of the sport which will assist in maintaining participation levels across the State and also enable us to attract new people to our sport. We also expect that our increased focus on the servicing of members through new programs and incentives will help drive membership throughout the year.
