SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: 
COVID-19 UPDATE

On Friday 13 March, the Prime Minister issued a statement advising against organised public gatherings of more than 500 people from Monday, 16 March 2020. 

As a result of this, and the rapidly changing environment, Swimming NSW has updated its advice for the NSW swimming community. In providing this advice, we have also considered Department of Foreign Affairs and TradeNSW HealthAustralian Institute of Sport, the World Health Organisation and other authorities, including Swimming Australia, to make decisions in the best interests of the health and welfare of our members, volunteers and families.

  • From 16 March 2020, Swimming NSW advises against hosting any swimming competition in NSW for a period of 30 days.
  • SNSW has postponed the 2020 NSW Junior State Championship scheduled for 28/29 March. 
  • SNSW has instructed all staff (not including pool deck coaches) not to attend NSW Swimming Programs for a period of 30 days.

Our advice of 8 March, relating to self-quarantining and international travel, is also updated to now include all international travel to any country, NOT just those countries listed.

Please visit our dedicated COVID-19: SNSW advice page for all our latest updates and to stay informed as the situation continues to unfold.

As a reminder, please also note the following SNSW Hygiene Best Practices, which are widely considered by health experts to be key to disease prevention and management.

We understand that this is a worrying time for many in our community. We want to assure you that our staff and SNSW Board are responding to the situation as it evolves.

Thank you again for your ongoing support in putting the health and safety of our Swimming NSW family first.
