With Western Australian's and the World currently battling the COVID-19 pandemic, we felt it appropriate to provide advice for all clubs, coaches, members and associated persons. In providing this advice we have considered Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, WA Health, Australian Institute of Sport, and 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.
As this is a rapidly changing situation, Swimming WA will continue to provide relevant updates through this dedicated page.
