A Team Leaders Briefing for the 2026 MC Age and Age Championships will be conducted on the night before Session 1 of the MC Age Championships (further details to follow).

Unlike previous years, the SwimAus Events team will no longer read through the Information Book during the briefing – it is your responsibility to take the time to read the information provided online before attending the event. Moving forward, we will utilise the briefing for a more in-depth Q&A session and we request that all questions be submitted ahead of time to help us prepare.

After reading the Information Book (to be released later in the year), if you still have questions about the event that was not covered in the Info Book, there will be a link you can use to submit your questions for the briefing.

Questions will later be added into an event FAQ sheet that will be published after the briefing for anyone that cannot attend.

We have made some changes to the accreditation process and pass types this year to better match the new MC Age, Aus Open and Age Champs format. Please read the information below before proceeding with your application.
