MSA 50x50m Club Challenge

MSA 50x50m Club Challenge – celebrate MSA’s 50th Birthday across the weekend of 19-22 September 2025

As the 50th Anniversary Year of MSA absolutely flies along (is it halfway through September already??!) we would like to remind Clubs to consider celebrating in turning 50 style by conducting 50th Anniversary swimming activities at Club level.

As 22 September 2025 marks the day of 50 years since Masters Swimming in Australia was formed (i.e. 22 September 1975), MSA encourages Clubs and members to try out the MSA 50x50m Club Challenge.

That is, in your Club setting do one (1) set of 50x50m at your own pace not only for ‘fitness, friendship and fun’ but also as there are various categories open to qualify for MSA recognition and rewards:

  • The Club with most Members who collectively swim the 50x50m set together in one session*
  • The Club with most Members who swim 50x50m in total over the course of the ‘long’ weekend period*
  • The Member/s who swims all 50 of the 50m on the fastest time cycle (both short and long course will be recognised)
  • The oldest and the youngest Member to swim a set of 50x50m
  • All Clubs who participate will receive a Certificate of Recognition

(* In order to try and equalise the field, 50x50m / Club participant numbers will be calculated as a % of your total Club membership number up to and including 22 September 2025).

We hope you have locked in or can still schedule a 50x50m set then afterwards, advise MSA of your Club results – see form below or to the right to enter swim data – limit of 25 swimmers can be entered in one submission but clubs with more than 25 members taking part can make a number of submissions (note data needs to be submitted by 30 September 2025) 

Note: The form is easier to fill in using a computer

Naturally this set of 50x50m can also qualify for the 50 x 50m x 50 Weeks MSA Members Challenge 2025 program, so why not knock over a ‘two for one’ opportunity?!

In closing, please join with MSA and celebrate 50 great years via completing a very special, one off celebratory 50x50m set ‘n session with your Club mates.
