The event will take place over three days to coincide with Masters Swimming Australia’s 2023 National Open Water Swimming Championship, being held in Perth, Western Australia.
This is a great opportunity for Masters Swimming Australia coaches to come together as a community for learning and knowledge sharing. There will be guest speakers, including MSA’s National Coaching Coordinator Rob Wilson, and a range of activities combining learning and practical sessions in both the pool and open water settings. The conference will also include a welcome sundowner on the eve of the National Championship for coaches to network and become acquainted.
The event will be located variously at HBF Stadium (twice the venue for Swimming World Championships), Sport HO (home to MSWA) and Mullaloo Beach, taking advantage of Perth’s pristine beaches.
The Conference is priced, at $55 per attendee, to be accessible to all and includes the catered Welcome Sundowner on the evening of Friday 3rd March. It concludes with the final session at Mullaloo Beach on Sunday 5th March
