About Us

The Swim Well Strategy represents a unified vision to advance swimming in Australia through purposeful investment in people, programs, and places. Rooted in deep collaboration, it charts a clear course for participation growth, system excellence, and community impact. At its heart, Swim Well is driven by three interconnected action plans: Coaching, Sport Growth, and Officiating. Together, these pillars shape a future where every participant, from the youngest learner to the most experienced coach or official, feels supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.

Coaching Action Plan

Fostering coaching excellence through a unified framework, continuous development, and a supportive environment that empowers coaches to deliver positive, participant-focused swimming experiences nationwide.

Officiating Action Plan

A unified national approach to grow, educate, support, and retain Technical Officials at every level of swimming in Australia.

Sport Growth Action Plan

Driving nationwide growth through inclusive programs, strong partnerships, and a vibrant club and facility ecosystem that makes swimming accessible for all Australians

Swimming Australia is pleased to launch ‘Swimming 2032’, the strategic plan for 2025-2032.

This strategy sets the path forward for the organisation and the sport, with a focus on maximising the opportunity leading into the 2032 Brisbane Games.

By Inspiring Australia Through Swimming, the strategy covers how we will engage the broader ecosystem to lead, partner and influence through its three key pillars of Strengthen, Grow and Win Well.

Swimming Australia Strategic Plan

The SwimAus Foundation is an initiative aimed at driving philanthropic support to the Australian swimming community.

Recognising swimming as more than just a popular sport, the foundation emphasises its importance as a vital life skill, a sense of community, and a lifelong pursuit for people of all ages.

Through targeted investment, the Foundation seeks to ensure that all Australians – regardless of their background or circumstances – have the opportunity to access essential life-saving swimming skills, enjoy the water, and become part of Australia’s largest and most welcoming community, where friendship, fun, and safety are key priorities.

The goal is to create a more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable environment for swimming, making it possible for everyone to not only learn to swim but to also enjoy the social and physical benefits the sport offers throughout their lives.
