Our WA swimmers and coaches have just produced one of the most memorable and incredible Australian Age Championships in history.
142 athletes and 22 clubs made the journey across to Adelaide to battle it out against the rest of Australia. It’s the first National Age Championships since the pandemic began that all our swimmers have been able to race all other states in person, rather than virtually.
Welcoming back that excitement, adrenaline, team comradery and roaring crowd certainly brought out the best of our swimmers, clubs and coaches. Even the National Age Championships commentator and WA-local, Will Rollo, is returning to Perth minus his voice.
Across the 2022 Australian Age Championships, WA snagged 11 gold, 10 silver and 23 bronze, with numerous WA Records tumbling down in the process.
While the results were exceptional, there was immense patience and weeks, months and years of incredibly hard work poured into these championships from all swimmers, coaches, parents and clubs. It’s been amazing to see that dedication pay off in what has been a remarkable week.
Now, let’s dive into the highlights of all finalists and medallists from the 2022 Australian Age Championships!
