            Swimming Australia, Swimming Queensland and The University of Sydney - Project H2grOw


            Would you like to identify your son or daughter’s maturation status?

            Would you like to track maturation status with swimming performance?

            At the 2021 Speedo National Preparation Meet & Jess Schipper Challenge, 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.


            The tests will involve measuring height, sitting height and weight and as an outcome athletes will receive an individual report suggesting future growth patterns.

             

            Previously tested athletes are invited to be retested as this will give the athletes further insight into their H2grOw development.
