The 2009/10 Swimming WA operations have continued to improve well into the 3rd year of the strategic plan cycle. The SWA Board will continue to build on the Corporate Governance of the organisation, focusing on areas that need to be reviewed and/or improved. The Strategic Plan will come to an end as of July 2010. With review processes in place and with feedback supplied from our members, Swimming WA will build on the past 3 year strategic plan cycle, moving the Association towards a successful future.
Our Sub Committees of the Board have continued to give their time and expertise to assist the running of the Association with Open water, Competition Planning, Technical and Finance sub committees all providing valuable input and direction.
Swimming WA had a successful events calendar for 2009/10 with the Open Water Series exceeding all expectations. In 2010/11 the Open Water Series will take the next step with the use of timing chips and online entries and results, allowing greater connection to the participants.
Sponsorship support was again critical to the delivery of Swimming WA programs and events throughout 2009/10. In particular the support of the Department of Sport and Recreation and Healthway provided financial resources ensuring the delivery of programs, especially at grassroots and regional areas. Other key sponsors throughout 2009/10 that played a key role in our operations include; Vorgee, Water Corporation, Jason Mazda, Hancock Family Medical Foundation, Motive Travel, SportingBet, Aussie Natural Spring Water/Palm Springs and Shell.
Swimming WA’s relationship with the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) continued to grow with the appointment of WAIS Swimming Performance Manager Greg Hodge. Greg’s role is primarily building a close relationship between high performance and grassroots. This relationship has grown to the point that Swimming WA will appoint a Performance and Development Coach to work with the grassroots – club and school coaches to build the link to the programs being conducted by WAIS.
Membership numbers slightly declined in 2009/10 with a shift in recreational swimmers to competitive swimmers. Further work is being done in conjunction with Swimming Australia to deliver the recruitment and retention strategies to build on membership. A focus for 2010/11 will be on forming better relationships with Learn to Swim operators, schools and pool operators to recruit from their programs to clubs. In addition further support to our regions to build on the participation and pathway opportunities is also critical.
A note of thanks should be extended to outgoing Executive Director – David Toll who worked tirelessly over the past three and half years to build the foundations of Swimming in Western Australia. A number of other staff also made the move to other opportunities throughout the 2009/10 year and their hard work and dedication is also commended.
Swimming WA has begun the long task of rebuilding our performance at national and international level with Blair Evens and Tommaso D’orsgna making the Commonwealth Games team for 2010. The athlete pathway has been redefined capturing over 300 swimmers for 2010/11 and Coaches pathway has been closely aligned, with Swimming WA working closely with the Coaches Association and WAIS.
The foundations established through the last strategic planning cycle will see Swimming WA build a strong program, expand the profile and events to reach the goals set for the next 3 -5 years.

Development Report
Go Club ForumsSwimming WA conducted nine Go Club Forums in the 2009/2010 financial year with a total attendance of 186 people. These forums included a series of talks during the 2009 SunSmart Swimming Championships for parents and club administrators.
Go SwimThis year Swimming WA distributed over 650 GO Swim packs to new swimming club members under the age of 12 years.
Swimmers with a Disability During the 2009/10 season Swimming WA classified a total of 9 swimmers with a disability across the five disability areas: Functional, Intellectual, Hearing Impaired, Vision Impaired and Transplant.
Of the 9 swimmers classified, 6 were classified at Swimming WA Classification Days. Swimming WA conducted two Functional Classification Days during the year which involved volunteer medical and technical classifiers assessing the Swimmers and allocating them with a classification. The ultimate purpose of a classification is to provide an opportunity for the vast array of disabilities to compete in a category of similar ability, once a swimmer is classified they are able to compete in Swimming WA and Swimming Australia events.
Coach Education/Development Coaches have had many development opportunities over 2009/10 with camps and conferences available for their benefit. Two major coach education opportunities were the:
• Annual Coaches Conference – 56 coaches attended
• April Indian Ocean All-Stars Coaches Conference – 26 coaches attended
Regional Development Swimming WA has been working with all of the regions to develop participation, competitive swimming and to assist in the development of coaches and officials.
Clinics were made available to all regions which included opportunities for coaches, officials and athletes. Swimming WA is looking forward to working closely with the regions and the regional Department of Sport and Recreation branches to create effective development plans for the future.
Development Squad Activities
Development Squad CampThe Development Squad Camp was held on the 26th - 29th of September 2009 with athletes from all three Development Squad attending the camp.

Events & Competitions Report
Delivering strong and healthy competition across both pool and open water disciplines remains at the core of Swimming WA’s operations.
In the last twelve months the Association has managed three (3) competition series which incorporates twenty (20) events across the 2009 Short Course, 2009/10 Long Course and the 2009/10 Open Water seasons. A breakdown of key pool and all open water meets is listed in this section.
Pool events delivered some pleasing results with event participation and the number of records broken both increasing slightly from the 2008/09 cycle.
Our international novice event, Indian Ocean All Stars, was again a success in 2010. The event which aims to profile our sport and Western Australian clubs and coaches to our neighbouring countries grew by 26% in participation from 2009. Athletes from Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, China and Hong Kong, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia competed.
The Open Water Series exceeded all expectations growing its entry numbers by 39%. This growth will be supported in the 2010/11 series with the introduction of electronic timing, online entries and a dedicated event website.
Ongoing work on our event planning and operational procedures has resulted in a continued improvement in our delivery in these areas.
A new reporting process was introduced to broaden the scope of our stakeholder engagement for competition review and planning. Through our foundation work here we are aiming to deliver a more balanced structure for the 2010/11 seasons that caters equally for all levels of competition.
Swimming WA acknowledges that throughout our competitive pool seasons we continue to encounter issues with facility equipment. We are continuing to work with our venue partners to secure upgrades for the 2010/11 competition calendar.
In conclusion, the support that Swimming WA receives from our valued sponsors is critical to be able to deliver competition opportunities for our members. The Association would like to acknowledge our 2009/10 partners; Department of Sport and Recreation, Healthway, Hancock Family Medical Foundation, Vorgee, Jason Mazda, The Western Australian Newspaper Group, Water Corporation, 96FM, Palm Springs, SportingBet and Motive Travel.

Technical Education And Officials Committee Report
Once again I am pleased to report on a successful year for many of our Technical Officials.
Congratulations to Geraldine Peel, Jackie Wren, Marita Eisenlhor and Karen Hodgetts who all progressed to Referee status after successfully completing the requirements.
A number of Officials have attended National meets and Ryan Arblaster, Dot Harris, Ian Arblaster and Kaye Bolger have all been selected to work at International meets. The experience gained at both of these levels continues to benefit swimmers at a State level.
Throughout the year members of the Technical Committee and Officiating group have presented courses covering all aspects of Officiating. While there have been good numbers attending these courses we are still experiencing a shortfall in working officials at many meets and we encourage participants to follow through from their courses and work to gain the experience and knowledge to assist our swimmers.
I thank all Technical Officials throughout WA for volunteering their time to ensure the smooth running and high standard of swim meets we experience. Thanks also to the Technical Committee for their commitment to the education and training of our Officials.

Country Coordinators ReportMost of the Regions are still finding it hard to function. The constant change of people has meant no continuity of the Region Executive. If the Regions are not functioning they are loosing out on the DSR funds available.
It is also becoming difficult to get a quorum for our Region meetings which are held twice per year. However, all Regions have held open and closed swim meets during the 2009 /10 season.
Country Championships held in January and Country Pennants held in March are the highlight of the Country swimming calendar. Again these swim meets have been well supported. A special presentation at Country Pennants was bestowed on Shirley Stephens for her continuing support for Country Swimming over many years and has been on the organizing committee for all of the 8 Country Pennants held in Northam.
Most Regions have again taken the opportunity to utilize the expertise of the technical committee by running courses during their meets. Some Regions continue to run development clinics during the season.
Brief Summary of Regions
Southwest – Coordinator Shirley Wells
The most active Region in the Country. Technical officials have attended National & State meets.
Our SW Region Carnival 2009 was a wonderful day, the weather was superb and the region came together as a team to make this a successful day for everyone. The carnival nearly didn’t get off the ground this year with the SWSC double booking and changing times. The decision was made to relocate to the Harvey pool and this turned out to be a great decision.
Thank you goes out to the Harvey Swimming Club for doing the pool set up and take down of this meet.
Our Region this year had quite a few swimmers go to Nationals in Sydney, to which we are really proud of them for achieving this.
