SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 3 Message from the Australian Sports Commission

The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is committed to ensuring Australian athletes excel in the international sporting arena, and increasing Australians’ participation in sport.

These two clear objectives are mutually reinforcing – international success inspires Australians to participate in sport and greater participation helps nurture our future champions. Sport inspires individuals, unites communities and encourages active lifestyles.

Success at the international level has become even more challenging for Australian athletes. Traditional competitors keep getting better, and rising countries are becoming forces to be reckoned with. Our tenth placing in the medal table at the London 2012 continued a downward trend over the past three games.

Through Australia’s Winning Edge 2012-2022 – our game plan to move Australian sport from world class to world best – we are changing the role of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and the delivery of the High Performance Program, improving the financial performance and position of National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) and strengthening the governance structures and standards of NSOs.

We have initiated a fundamental reform process to improve Australian sport, by linking high- performance sports funding more closely with performance; ensuring the AIS is the world’s best high performance sports institute; modernising governance structures in a number of sports; investing to improve coaching, leadership skills, talent identification and innovation in Australian sport; and reinforcing public confidence in the integrity of sport. These reforms will create lasting change and improvement.

In 2013/14, the Australian Government, through the ASC, is investing almost $120 million in NSOs for high performance programs and to promote grassroots participation in sport.

In future, our partner sports can expect a much sharper focus by the ASC on best practice governance and administration, intellectual property ownership, athlete management and support structures and general accountabilities by the sports. Equally, the ASC is committed to changing to meet the needs of contemporary sport.

Importantly, the Australian Government is focused on promoting grassroots participation in sport throughout Australia and to continue a suite of successful national programs, such as the Active After-School Communities program. Increased community sport participation has a profound long-term dividend, and remains a vital objective of the ASC.

The ASC looks forward to working in collaboration with the sport sector to encourage more people into sport and to drive Australia’s continued international sporting success.

John Wylie AM Chair Board of the Australian Sports Commission

4 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Swimming Australia President’s Report

It is with great pleasure I write this message as President on behalf of all stakeholders of Swimming Australia.

The sport of swimming is full of passionate people. It ‘is’ different. The fact that so many parents and loved ones support our wonderful dream builders through thick and thin is an ‘Australian story’ in itself.

This sport is large, very large. 1.2 million kids learn to swim every year, 2.4 million people swim regularly for health and fitness, 6.2 million people have participated in swimming in the last 12 months and thousands of officials and volunteers continue doing their thing for the love and enjoyment.

Within this framework we have set ourselves a huge aspirational goal. It is to become #1 in the world by 2020, from Olympic and Para Olympic podiums to grass roots. To achieve this we have much to do. World’s best practice is not a trivial exercise. It is never ending in itself. In everything we do, we ask ourselves, is this world’s best practice? That is destabilising for many people. Some older people say #1 is ‘impossible’. Maybe they’re right! But younger people say…’bring it on’. I love the power of youth!

Recently we established a new steering group made up of stakeholders and SAL members. The objective is to dramatically increase ‘community engagement and participation’.

Although participation numbers are large, the sport as a whole is not holding its own compared to the professional sports of AFL and NRL. These codes have done an outstanding job in growing their membership bases. For the sport of swimming to grow, we need to be relevant every year instead of every four (4) years.

So we are now working closely with USA Swimming to compare our experience and knowledge base in community participation. Yes we are competitors in the pool, but as a sport globally, we all face similar challenges in attracting and retaining more people.

Our prospects in the pool are very encouraging as we approach the Olympics in Rio in 2016. We have a young team. They are committed. They love what they represent, the Green and Gold. Our coaches are committed. Morale is strong. But we cannot do any of this without the support of the parents and extended families. And the officials throughout the country. The road to Rio will require a huge team effort from the entire swimming fraternity.

I would like to thank our fantastic sponsors. To Mrs Gina Rinehart, the Georgina Hope Swimmers Foundation and all the team at Hancock Prospecting, thank you for the generous support that help our swimmers reach their potential. Also to Speedo which is one of the longest running sports sponsorships in Australian history, plus broadcast partner Network Ten for their excellent coverage of Australian Swimming. Thanks also to 2XU and Accor for their ongoing support. We also acknowledge the great support and contribution of Swisse and Dairy Australia.

A special mention to our event partners BHP Billiton and Tourism WA. The BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series will go into its third year in 2015. With record growth, including a 54% increase in domestic TV audiences in 2014, international distribution in 12 countries globally and sell-out crowds, this event continues to cement itself firmly into the yearly swimming calendar globally.

We are very grateful for the incredible support we receive from the Australian Sports Commission, State Institutes of Sport, Australian Olympic Committee, Australian Paralympic Committee and the Australian Association.

Go Australia!

John Bertrand AM President Swimming Australia

SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 5 Chief Executive Officer’s Report

The past year has witnessed substantial change and evolution across the organisation. Together we have made significant progress. Underpinning this change has been the creation of a new strategic plan which has established the future direction for our sport over the coming years. Our vision is for swimming in Australia to be the best in the world by 2020, both in and out of the pool. That means being world’s best in the areas of performance, organised participation, recreational participation and commercialisation. We want to enable our athletes, coaches, staff, stakeholders and members to excel and succeed in every area of endeavour.

Pivotal to this plan is the increased focus on developing a deeper and larger community base for our sport. In the first instance, this involves enhancing and developing our products and services for existing and potential members to ensure that we are delivering value to this loyal and valued group of committed swimmers. In addition to this core audience we need to build our broader audience to provide a point of connection in a more formal way with the Australian public and the 2.4 million Australians who regularly swim for health and fitness. This process will take time, but success will position us well in what is a very competitive sporting and recreational market.

At the half-way point of this current Olympic and Paralympic cycle I am both encouraged and excited by what lies ahead for our sport in the areas of performance. To Michael Scott and our new National Head Coach Jacco Verhaeren, and all of the swimmers and staff in our national programs at all levels; congratulations on what you have achieved in the previous 12 months. Throughout the year we have all focussed on developing a culture of success and respecting our past and those that have come before us and I wish to congratulate all involved in the area of high performance for the progress that has been achieved.

Over the last 12 months we have welcomed new leadership into the organisation in President John Bertrand AM. In John, we are very fortunate to have a visionary whose passion for the green and gold is unsurpassed, and I would like to thank him and the entire board of Swimming Australia for their continued support and drive in seeing swimming become world’s best. It is indeed a skilled and talented Board led very well by John as our President.

To the executive group and all staff at Swimming Australia, congratulations on embracing the challenges and change that has presented itself over the last 12 months. You are all the driving force behind the delivery of our new strategic and operational plan for the sport. We are developing a unified and talented team and I greatly appreciate your efforts and expertise as we collectively drive towards the achievement of our vision.

To the Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Institute of Sport, State Institutes of Sport, the Australian Olympic Committee, the Australian Paralympic Committee and Australian Commonwealth Games Association; we also greatly appreciate your support and contribution to our high performance programs. Australia has taken up the challenge of delivering on the new Winning Edge strategy and with our strategic goal to be the world’s best in the pool, the synergies and alignment across all stakeholders will be pivotal in assisting us to achieve our aims.

To our valued corporate partners and in particular Speedo, Network Ten and Hancock Prospecting through the Georgina Hope Foundation, we thank you for your continued support of the sport in the lead up to Rio 2016. We look forward to continuing to work with you over the next two years to deliver success. Similarly to Swisse, Dairy Australia and Be the Influence, we greatly appreciate your support and thank you for the contribution you have made to swimming in Australia.

And to the most important stakeholders - our members. Thank you for your passion and the commitment you continually display for our sport. As Chief Executive Officer, I understand that I have the honour and privilege of being placed in this role to serve the sport and specifically you our members. It is a responsibility I do not take lightly and our plans are designed to ensure that your experience and the services we provide to our members are greatly enhanced.

Swimming is a sport that defines us as a country and as individuals who participate. It is part of our country’s DNA and with that comes many opportunities and responsibility. As we embark on a new year, let us seize the opportunities we have identified. In doing so, I look forward to working with our entire swimming family over the coming year to deliver on our plans and to collectively celebrate our progress and success as a sport, both in and out of the pool.

Mark Anderson Chief Executive Officer Swimming Australia

To support and enhance the performance of these swimmers and their coaches, we established an Individual Podium Performance Fund and provided support, services and funding to targeted athletes and coaches in clubs that do not meet the criteria to receive Podium Centre Program support.

Another key strategic shift implemented this year as part of the Australia’s Wining Edge (AWE) strategy, was the realignment of the AIS residential program. Following the decision of the AIS to no longer conduct individual sport programs, SAL took full control of the existing AIS swimming program and merged it into the National Training Centre (NTC). The NTC boasts some of the world’s premier training, testing and recovery facilities and expertise. It is now home to an elite training program for Olympic and Paralympic swimmers, the majority of our teams domestic camps, all of our key scientific testing and is also available to support the rehabilitation from injury for key athletes.

To further support athletes and coaches, much work was done to embed sports science and sports medicine into the daily training environment (DTE). A Sports Science and Sports Medicine Advisory Committee was established, along with the publication of minimum qualification standards for service providers on SAL teams and for those used by funded athletes in the DTE. A process for developing and implementing Individual Athlete Performance Plans (IAPP) for all SAL funded swimmers was put in place. This required the submission of individualised plans outlining strengths and weaknesses, and an identified plan to address any issues.

Establishing and maintaining a sustainable performance pathway was identified as one of the key performance drivers of the HPU Strategic Plan. In partnership with the State Sporting Associations and Australian Swimming Coaches & Teachers Association, a series of State Based Technical Leads were hired. Their role is to lead the respective state talent identification programs, mentor the next generation of coaches and retain, share and improve coach knowledge. In addition, a talent identification program that identifies and nurtures talent based on markers other than ‘time swum/ position finished’ in age group competition was established.

SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 15 FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS

16 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association

Primarily through teacher and coach development and swim school engagement, the Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association (ASCTA) significantly shapes a positive future for swimming in this country.

Our partnership agreement with Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) continues to reap rewards – some immediate and others that will bear fruit in the years to come. Communication has been further enhanced by the quarterly stakeholder forums and assigned directors. The collaboration between the bodies is reflected by the 12 Swimming Australia Forums and Committees that ASCTA currently actively participates in. By way of practical example, ASCTA is proud to be using its world-leading Swim Australia division to enhance the success of the National Junior Swimming Program SAL is developing.

Similarly, ASCTA’s relationship with the state swimming associations is a positive one.

Congratulations to all coaches who have placed swimmers on Australian Swimming representative teams in 2013 and 2014. They continue to provide outstanding service to their athletes and country. And whilst on high- performance matters, ASCTA welcomes and has embraced Jacco Verhaeren and Jamie Salter to the Australian landscape.

As reported over the years, 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’s stakeholders an opportunity to come together. Additionally, 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 associations continues to grow.

In terms of enhancing professional development, the asctaCOLLEGE is set to be launched. This, combined with the Cracker Sports platform, will ensure members access world’s best practices.

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. Following the inaugural Future Forum in August 2013, Swim Australia embarked on a number of focused objectives and instigated a complete brand review process.

ASCTA’s Teacher Accreditation program, the Swim Australia Teacher, continues to snowball with over 18,000 teachers now involved in the process. Significantly, it is inclusive and is regularly upgraded.

The opportunity is also taken to thank the asctaBRANCHES for their often unheralded contributions and our own terrific staff: David and Julie Speechley leading the asctaOFFICE and Accreditation, and Jay Johnston doing the same at the Swim Australia office. Our CEO Ross Gage cuts across all areas of swimming and delivers the vision to the industry as a whole. Finally, much appreciation to the ASCTA Board, with particular mention of Ron McKeon, immediate past president, who strive towards facilitating excellence in teaching and coaching in Australia.

SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 17 Australian Swimmers’ Association

2013/14 ASA Presidents Report

The 2013/14 year was a great step forward for the Australian Swimmers’ Association (ASA) and the association’s members. With the appointment a new Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) CEO and High Performance Director an opportunity for a fresh start between the ASA and SAL presented itself. Credit must be given to Mark Anderson, Michael Scott and Dan Kowalski for developing the best working relationship the ASA and SAL have enjoyed in recent history. 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. This four-year, $8.8 million agreement gives the professional swimmers and developing talent real financial security to perform at their potential. Another promising aspect of the last 12 months is the increased responsibility and respect 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 ASA also completed a services agreement with SAL, which will help the relationship between the two organisations by better defining expectations leading into the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

The ASA has continued to develop a series of member services to better care for the members in their life, 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 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 by a swimmer to discuss the challenges of adolescence by using the sport of swimming as the vehicle. 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. In recent times the importance of athlete wellbeing after retirement has received a lot of media attention. The transition of athletes is a complex issue and the Association would like to thank SAL and the stakeholders who attended the Performance Excellence Think Tank at trials to help devise a strategy and programs to address the challenge.

Early June saw the inaugural Team Induction Ceremony along with the creation and delivery of the Team Passport. A number of swimmers expressed the enjoyment and pride felt on the evening and the ASA would like to thank the High Performance Unit, team psychologist Georgia Ridler and SAL staff and events team for making the evening so special. The passport contains the team’s values and expectations along with special contributions from past swimmers to inspire and educate the current team. The ASA also hosted four retired swimmers functions around the country that bought past Australian team members together to reminisce, celebrate and to present swimmers with their Australian team pin. A special thanks to PricewaterhouseCoopers for their hospitality. It is our goal to continue to grow these events, and engage and utilise the skill and knowledge of more of our past champions.

In late 2013, the ASA executive voted to change the date of the Association’s annual general meeting (AGM) to the end of National Championships each year. This change was driven by the large proportion of the membership that would be present, and the opportunity to invite and interact with past swimmers at the AGM, along with a function afterwards. In the 2013/14 financial year, the Association had two AGMs in August, which saw the largest number of nominations for the executive the Association has ever seen. The engagement and willingness to be involved from the membership is exciting for the Association. The election saw Melissa Gorman and myself re-elected, while Bronte Barrat and Thomas Fraser-Holmes join the executive as first-time members. I would like to thank who stood down from the committee, for her dedication and passion for the sport.

The 2014 AGM saw Matt Abood, Tommaso D’Orsogna, and Annie Williams all re-elected. There is still so much more the Association hopes to achieve but the support and engagement from the membership, along with the great work of our General Manager, Dan Kowalski, has filled me with confidence for the future.

Brenton Rickard General Manager & ASA President

18 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Swimming New South Wales

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.

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 Limited (SAL) 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 SAL with delivering the full system as soon as possible. We have been strong advocates on behalf of our members to SAL to ensure the implementation of the system remains the number-one priority for the sport.

While direct financial support from the State Government falls way short of what most other states receive from their respective governments, we did secure a substantial grant from the ‘Water Safety Black Spots Fund’ whose key goal is to reduce the drowning rate amongst indigenous Australians. Kerrie-Anne Antis is now working full time on this project and achieving some outstanding results.

Swimming NSW has established a High Performance Committee whose main functions include; • maximising the Swimming NSW medal count at all Australian Championships. • overseeing the delivery of the Swimming NSW Development Pathway. • overseeing the delivery of the Swimming NSW Coach Development Program. • ensuring the camps and tours that are conducted by Swimming NSW create and support sustainable success.

We have already begun to see improved performances at the National Championships and we believe this is a testament to the work that the Committee has undertaken this year.

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. 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 the staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make the event a success.

Overall we 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.

Patrick Troy Mark Heathcote President Chief Executive Officer

SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 19 Swimming Northern Territory

Swimming Northern Territory enjoyed a solid 2013/14 year with many positive outcomes achieved in a number of key areas, including continuing membership growth, enhanced government relationships and progress with facility improvements.

At the 2013 Annual General Meeting Swimming Northern Territory elected a new President, Joel Wecker. Stepping up from his position as a Director, Joel was elected to the Presidency following the vacancy created when Nicole Jones announced her pending move to . Joel brings a strong suite of sport and business knowledge to the sport and his leadership qualities will be essential for swimming to achieve the growth targets for the coming year.

Swimming Northern Territory still faces challenges with key personnel rotating more swiftly than experienced in other states of the Country. We were dealt a significant blow as we lost the services of our exceptionally talented and committed Administration Officer, Virginia Burrow, due to an interstate move. Virginia was the longest serving employee of the organisation and her skills and knowledge will be sorely missed. The Association also farewelled Community Swimming Officer, Paul Schindler, who has moved interstate to pursue his dreams in coaching. We wish Paul the best of luck in achieving his goals in an area where he brought great enthusiasm to his role.

Our regional club membership remains strong with Gove, Katherine and Tennant Creek showing outstanding membership statistics for their respective population bases, and Alice Springs Swimming Club continuing to deliver.

Exceptional results across our three major indigenous development programs have been achieved. The federally funded Indigenous Sport and Active Recreation Program is now reaching almost 2,000 particpants in 10 communities across almost 1.4 million square kilomteres of Territory. The NT Government supported Bush Schools Swimming & Lifestyle Clinic participation has grown over 100 per cent since Swimming Northern Territory assumed management of the program in 2010 and we are grateful to Swimming Australia Limited (SAL) in assisting to resource this initiative. In Darwin, the Community Swimming Officer delivers the Urban Indigenous Program, providing intensive coaching and competition opportunities for the students at Darwin’s boarding colleges. Swimming Northern Territory is proud to be a leader in indigenous swimming programs.

Greater focus has been placed on the profile and operations of our blue ribbon event, the Vorgee NT Open and Age Championships. The 2014 Championships were hugely successful with record interstate participation and the welcome presence of swimming legends and Daniel Kowalski who were outstanding ambassadors for our sport during an intensive Championship schedule.

Our performance programs have undergone intensive review during 2013/14 and with the outcomes of the SAL Pathway Forum and the Northern Territory Institute of Sport Coach Scholarship Program we look forward to rolling out a fully integrated and supported tripartite athlete and coach development program in 2014/15 and beyond.

We are grateful for the support received across all levels of government as we continue to meet the challenge of pool access, maintenance and improvement. The City of Darwin have recently signed off on funding welcome improvements to the Casuarina Aquatic Centre and Nightcliff Swimming Pool. We are still faced with the challenge of securing a FINA-compliant, all-weather facility and positive feedback is being received in this area essential to the growth of the sport.

20 SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Swimming Queensland

Cate Campbell and Christian Sprenger rose to the top echelon of swimming’s hierarchy at the 2013 FINA World Championships in Barcelona, Spain, with Cate winning the Women’s 100m Freestyle and Christian taking the gold medal in the Men’s 100m Breaststroke. Queensland’s Blake Cochrane, Daniel Fox and all won gold medals at the 2013 IPC World Championships in Montreal, Canada, and Luke Percy, Alanna Bowles and Remy Fairweather at the 2013 FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in Dubai, UAE.

Queensland was the most successful state at the Australian Open Championships, winning both the men’s and women’s divisions, and St Peters Western the S.B. Grange Trophy for Premier Club. Once again, more than half of the Australian Team selected for the 2014 Commonwealth Games comprised of Queensland swimmers. The team will be accompanied by six Queensland coaches. Nine Queensland swimmers and four Queensland coaches were selected for the 2014 Para Pan Pacs Championships in Pasadena, California.

Stand-out Queensland performers at the 2014 Georgina Hope Foundation Australian Age Championships were Alanna Bowles and , who won six and five gold medals, respectively. In total, 40 Queensland swimmers won 67 individual gold medals, and Queensland swimmers claimed 202 lanes in final events. Queensland won the W.B. Phillips Trophy as the premier state, and has won the award every year since 2000. At the Championships, 23 Queensland coaches produced gold medallists, the highest number on record. TSS Aquatics was the leading club.

At the 2014 Australian Open Water Championships, 10 Queensland swimmers won gold medals, while Alicia Coutts, with five gold medals and two Commonwealth Records, was the standout Queensland swimmer at the 2013 Australian Short Course Championships.

On the recommendation of its Mentor Coach, Paulus Wildeboer, the Swimming Queensland (SQ) Board approved a revamp of SQ’s athlete and coach development strategies. A camp conducted by SQ in Chandler during the year reflected the new system. It was attended by 53 swimmers and 14 coaches. Sadly, Paulus passed away from prostate cancer in early May 2014. He was a visionary, and a splendid, inspirational leader.

A team of 11 swimmers, supported by four coaches, represented Queensland at the 2013 USA Championships in Irvine, California.

Forums were conducted for Referees, Inspectors of Turns and Judges of Strokes. Technical Official mentoring was provided at the Queensland Championships and the State Teams Championships in Canberra.

Funding for the pilot of a junior swimming program developed by SQ was approved by the Swimming Australia Foundation. This follows an initial limited trial of the program conducted by SQ in several clubs during the year. The pilot will be carried out in Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia in 2014/15.

With the support of the Australian Swimmers Association, SQ conducted Growing Up in Lycra and Making Champion Men clinics across Queensland, using current and former Australian Swim Team members as presenters. Since being launched in September last year, 850 swimmers have participated in 49 such clinics.

New inductees into the SQ Hall of Fame were and Lisbeth Lenton OAM.

SWIMMING AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2014 21 Swimming South Australia

The 2013/14 period has been a busy one for Swimming SA as we have enjoyed many successes both in and out of the water. South Australia performed well on the national stage at both the Open and Age Championship meets where we had four clubs place inside the top 80, which was a fantastic achievement.

Swimming Victoria has strengthened its allocation of resources and its commitment to the dual development of elite and grassroots athletes, coaches and officials.

Out of the pool, Swimming Victoria continued a partnership with the Alfred Foundation in delivering ‘Swimtember’ to support the Alfred’s efforts in raising over $25,000 for the hospital, as well as promoting the benefits of swimming to the wider Victorian community. We also introduced a new swimming event targeting corporate and past swimmers, ‘Spring Swim’. This event was very successful and we look forward to further development in 2014.

Swimming Victoria also officially entered into a formal partnership with School Sports Victoria to build and strengthen the sport’s access to school swimming across the state.

All of this work cannot be undertaken without the assistance of our sponsors. We are grateful for the benefits that Swimming Australia, Engine Swim, VicHealth, the Victorian Institute of Sport, and Sports and Recreation Victoria bring us, and the support of asctaVic, JLT Sport and Where to Enjoy.

Finally, Swimming Victoria unreservedly thanks our swimmers and their families, coaches, officials and the many volunteers, along with staff and directors, for all contributing to these great outcomes.

Greg Brough – Australian Swimmer No. 177

Greg Brough passed away in March at the age of 62 after a long battle with cancer. A Gold Coast local and distance Freestyle specialist, Greg won a bronze medal in the 1500m Freestyle on debut at the Mexico City 1968 Olympics. In 1970, he represented Australia at the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh where he picked up another bronze, this time in the 400m Freestyle. His Olympic teammate spoke highly of Greg and the professionalism and camaraderie he displayed. “His performances at the 1968 Games were just superb,” said Michael. “He was also a very good team member. He was very supportive of all of the performances of his teammates.”

Matthew Glucina

Matthew Glucina sadly lost his battle with cancer on Tuesday 7 January at the age of 29. To his many friends and teammates, Matt was adoringly known as ‘Gluey’. Gluey’s extraordinary swimming career began as a youngster at the Thornlie Swimming Club – showing a talent early in Butterfly and setting several records as a nine and 10 year old. As a teenager, Gluey swam alongside lifelong friend Jen Reilly under the guidance of Roger Bruce at Victoria Park Swim Club. Swimming and the water always bought a smile to his face, as did Gluey’s talent in breaking state records over several strokes and distances. At the age of 20, he moved to City of Perth Swimming Club and continued his swimming under Bernie Mulroy and then later Matt Magee. Gluey’s final competition was none other than the London 2012 Olympic Trials. With long-term teammates Travis Nederpelt, Hamish Rose and Craig Tucker, Gluey shared a memorable moment swimming a sensational 100m Backstroke in the men’s 4x100 Medley relay.
