Australind Swimming Club coaches together with the committee review the upcoming meets for the season ahead and decide which meets to target as a club.

As we are a competitive swimming club, it is the expectation of the club that all swimmers attend Target meets and represent our club.  Coaches will be in attendance at target meets to support our swimmers. Swimmer entries into meets must be discussed with the coach prior to registering.

Swimmers intending to nominate for the Country Pennants squad have until (and including) Country Championships to obtain their fastest time for the season which will determine the squad.

Target Meets for the 2025/25 Long Course Season are as follows:

• Bunbury Open - 19th October 2025

Please note that swimmers are welcome to enter other meets scheduled throughout the season, however, the club can not guarantee that a coach will be in attendance.

If you have any questions about the upcoming season and the target meets please feel free to reach out to your coach.

The Swimming WA calendar runs all year, with events on virtually every weekend. At the commencement of both Long Course Season (50m pool or Open Water Events; October to April) and the Short Course Season (25m pool; May to September), the coaching panel will select target meets.

These are meets that all Australind Swimming Club swimmers are encouraged to attend, with squad training sessions designed to best prepare swimmers for these particular events. The list of target meets will be posted on our updates chat and Facebook Page. Each swimmer should consult with their coach before entering events at any meet. Swimmers may also attend non-targeted meets at their own discretion with coach consultation.

Information regarding meets can be found on the Swimming WA website.

The club holds its own race nights throughout the year. These inhouse club nights give swimmers the opportunity to participate in new events, get race experience and track their progress. It is a requirement that a parent or guardian accompany each swimmer to assist with time-keeping duties. All swimmers are expected to attend race nights regularly. Points are achieved at Race Nights and awarded to swimmers for attendance and improvement in times. Swimmers are rewarded in a number of areas (most improved etc.).

Trophies are presented at the end of the season presentation night. Club Night dinners are also held at regular intervals to provide the opportunity for members and parents to socialise. 

Country Pennants is a Swimming WA sanctioned meet for Country Clubs only. Each Country Club competes as a team for the Country Pennants Title in their division, A - E.

Each country club enters the events as a ‘club team’ with individuals selected for the team based on best times for their age group.

The competition is held annually on the long week-end in March and is conducted on a rotational basis around the State.

This Meet is one of the most important meets on the Australind Swimming Club Calendar.
