On the Saturday and Sunday of this year's McDonald's Queensland Championships, an international cycling event is being held at the velodrome located in the Sleeman Centre complex.
As this will impact on parking at the venue, the Centre’s management has engaged traffic control personnel to assist patrons, including directing them where to park.
We strongly advise all people attending the swimming to allow extra time and, if possible, to consider car pooling. A dedicated 'Kiss & Ride' drop-off area will be available in Car Park 3 for vehicles not requiring parking.

Throughout the first two days of the 2019 McDonald’s Queensland State Championships, Swimming Queensland, in conjunction with The University of Sydney, will be continuing their research in the Project H2grOw initiative. This research involves tracking growth and maturation in developing swimmers and establishing solutions that account for that growth.
H2grOw Testers will be situated in the Old Sleeman Gym, and are inviting any athlete aged 12-15 years to take part in the research. Also invited, are any athletes (regardless of their current age), that have previously taken part in the H2grOw project, for retesting. This will be of benefit to give the athletes further insight into their H2grOw development.
