Swimming Queensland has a proud history of athletes and coaches that have progressed through our Development Program, going on to represent Australia at both Youth and Open-level international events.
Over the years the program has evolved, and more recently has been designed to align with Swimming Queensland's Long Term Athlete Development philosophy, as well as the Australian Sports Commission and Swimming Australia's FTEM (Foundation – Talent – Elite – Mastery) framework.
Each year, eligible athletes and coaches are notified of their selection for an upcoming team or as a member of our Swimming Queensland McDonald’s Development Squads. Below you’ll find a list of current and previous Swimming Queensland McDonald’s Development Squad and Queensland Team members.
After being selected, throughout the season, there will be different teams, camps, workshops or clinics that provide the appropriate level of development and educational support required to progress along the pathway. Where relevant, squad and team members will be given the opportunity to attend.
