2026 Australian Open Water Championships Recap!

What a championship. What a team. What an experience.

Across multiple days of racing in tough, choppy and windy conditions, our swimmers delivered sensational efforts across the board — grit, growth and heart on full display.

And a moment that will stay with us — Daniel making history for the club, winning SILVER in the 3km MC event, our first-ever Australian National Open Water medal.


A massive thank you to Coach Alex for the tireless work behind the scenes, the belief in the swimmers, and for travelling to Western Australia to lead this group on the national stage.
Thank you also to all parents and families for the support, encouragement, early mornings, photos, and constant backing — we couldn’t do this without you.

Proud of every swimmer who raced with courage and represented the club with pride.
