The 2024 Australian Short Course Swimming Championships will be held at the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre over four action-packed days in partnership with the Government of South Australia.

Emerging stars will go head-to-head from 26 - 29 September, with returning Dolphins from the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics at the City Sprints in what is the perfect digestif to the Paris Games.

The SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre boasts world-class aquatic facilities and has been the home of Olympians Kyle Chalmers, Matt Temple and Madi Wilson.

And come September – Olympians and Paralympians will be joined by club swimmers from all over the country.

It’s an experience you don’t want to miss, and tickets will be announced shortly through Ticketek.

Broadcaster Channel 9 will be back on pool deck to bring you all the action with morning sessions dedicated to heats and evening sessions featuring finals.

The meet acts as a qualifier for World Aquatics Swimming World Cup 2024 and a springboard for the World Aquatics World Short Course Championships in Budapest in December.

High performance director Greg Shaw said: “This is an important meet in this year’s racing calendar. It’s a prelude to the 2024 edition of the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup and then the World Short Course Championships in Budapest.”

“It’s the ideal lead-in to the year’s finale of international racing – and the frantic pace will suit the World Cup which features three Asian destinations in nine days of racing – Shanghai, Incheon and Singapore in October/November.”
