GET INVOLVED WITH PROJECT H2GROW
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.
The tests will involve measuring height, sitting height and weight. As an outcome, you will receive an individual report suggesting your future growth patterns.
