    • About the Centre
      MAKING HISTORY IN YOUR VERY OWN BACKYARD

      On the back of Adelaide hosting the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic trials in 2021, and the recent Australian Swimming Para and Age Championships in April 2022, it is a huge achievement for our great state to host the Australian Swimming Championships.

      Over the past ten years, the SA Aquatic & Leisure Centre has attracted national and international events contributing approximately $100 million of economic benefit to South Australia.

      The Centre’s facilities and associated managers, trainers and staff have been significant contributors to the success of South Australian swimming athletes. Sixty-two medals have been awarded at events such as the Olympic Games, Paralympics, World Championships, Commonwealth Games and Pan Pacific Championships.

      Not to mention records galore - the 2021 Australian Swimming Trials, held at the Centre, oversaw three World records, four Commonwealth Records and 11 Australian Records being set at this event alone.

      The array of swimming talent that has performed and grown here is vast. Athletes have trained countless hours to realise their dreams with this been the chosen Centre for our heroes to battle it out as their last stop before Olympics, Paralympics, World Junior Championships, Commonwealth Games and more.

      We are genuinely proud to have such a fantastic world-class Centre that showcases, supports and develops our grassroots athletes, elite athletes and economy.
