    • The excellent training programs at your Club;
    • Club initiatives focused on enjoyment and improvement;
    • Your Club’s participation in national and state initiatives such as Australia Swims etc.;
    • Your Club’s volunteers that always give their time for the betterment of the club; or

  • What Does The Club Of The Year Receive?
  • Once nominations have closed, a state Club of the Year will be chosen for Queensland and receive $500 for their Club.

    A national recipient will then be selected from this State shortlist, receiving flights and accommodation to the Swimming Australia Awards for 2 x club representatives to accept the Club of the Year award.

    In addition to this, the club will receive $2000, a promotional video about what makes the club so great as well as an athlete appearance to their Club. Why wouldn’t you nominate your Club?
