Australian Swimming would like to thank the following sponsors, broadcasters and supporters

Australia is a nation of water lovers, and our passion for water sports becomes most evident at sporting events. And sporting events do not get much bigger than the Olympic Games.

The twelve months of the swimming calendar leading into the Athens Games have once again shown that Australian swimmers are a leading force in the water.

At the World Championships in Barcelona, our swim team confirmed what we already knew—that they are among the best in the world. With a medal haul of twenty-two, comprising six gold, ten silver and six bronze, Australia was second only to our number one rival, the United States and its tally of twenty-eight.

The Championships also saw two of our swimmers set new world records; Matt Welsh broke the 50 metre butterfly record clocking 23.43 and Leisel Jones broke the existing world mark in the 100 metre breaststroke, recording 1.06.37.

Not to be outdone, Ian Thorpe became the first swimmer to win the same event three times, receiving the 400 metre freestyle gold medal. A few days later, Grant Hackett equalled Ian's feat by winning the 1500 metre freestyle title for the third time. In winning the race Hackett extended his unbeaten run in the 1500 metres to five years.

In 2003–04, Australian swimmers broke a total of three world and fifteen Commonwealth records. In addition to Matt Welsh's and Liesel Jones' record breaking efforts, Lisbeth Lenton became the world's fastest female over the 100 metres freestyle clocking 53.66 at the Telstra Australian Championships and Olympic trials in Sydney in March.

This year has also been successful for our swimmers with a disability. Australian Swimming recently agreed with the Australian Paralympic Committee to take over the delivery of the Paralympic Preparation Program.

The Australian Swimming high performance unit has been hard at work providing training, competition and camp support to our national squad. In January, the Australian team competed in the 2004 INAS-FID World Swimming Championships in Hong Kong, winning sixteen gold, eight silver and eight bronze medals—an outstanding achievement. Siobhan Paton completed another exceptional meet, winning a total of seventeen medals, fourteen of them gold.

Australian Swimming is a national leader amongst sporting organisations that are integrating athletes with a disability into the mainstream of Australian sport. In April, Tennis Australia and Australian Swimming became the first national sporting organisations to have their Disability Action Plans registered with the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. This achievement came about through Australian Swimming's participation in Project CONNECT, an Australian Sports Commission initiative to assist in the integration of athletes with a disability.

A large part of the success of Australian Swimming can be attributed to the efforts of a key group of people. CEO Glenn Tasker and the hardworking members of the Australian Swimming board, with John Devitt as President, have over the past twelve months spearheaded the systematic integration of stakeholder input to create a strategic plan for the next four years and beyond.

The new Australian Swimming 2004–09 Strategic Plan emphasises the building of strong and member-responsive clubs, and targets specific population groups such as women, swimmers with a

disability, adult swimmers and juniors. Australian Swimming will also be working on plans to secure the sport's future through a financial management strategy designed to maximise the resources of the national organisation and those of member organisations.

The Australian Government, through the Australian Sports Commission, will continue to support Australian Swimming to make the sport accessible to all. The Government's sport policy, Backing Australia's Sporting Ability – A More Active Australia, is an unprecedented ten year plan which will significantly increase the number of Australians playing sport as well as deliver sporting excellence. As part of this commitment, Australian Swimming will receive $4.71 million in 2004–05 from the Australian Government to assist its high performance and development programs.

Australian Swimming is also an important model for other national sporting organisations to aspire to in its adoption of initiatives such as the Club Development Network and the partnership it has formed with the Australian Sports Commission.

Governments can help build the foundations of a strong sports system, but without community and sponsor support, the effort would falter. Key corporate sponsors include Telstra, Channel Nine, QANTAS, Fisher & Paykel, Speedo and Uncle Toby's and they are to be congratulated for continuing to provide Australian Swimming with vital resources to help sustain one of the world's great swimming organisations.

I congratulate Australian Swimming on this most successful year, and look forward to more success in the future.

Senator the Hon. Rod Kemp Minister for the Arts and Sport

Telstra is extremely proud to have been the principal sponsor of Australian Swimming for the twelfth consecutive year.

In the lead up to the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, our Australian swimmers continue to assert themselves as the dominant force in world swimming. Telstra is pleased to have played a role in this success. We continue to support the ongoing development of Australian Swimming on many levels, from the elite Telstra Dolphins and Paralympic swimmers right through to children just learning to swim at the grassroots level.

In addition to supporting a myriad of major international and domestic meets during 2003/2004, Telstra is delighted to have again held the annual Telstra Swimmer of the Year Awards, an exceptionally successful program that recognises Australia's best swimmers.

Since 1988 Telstra has enabled family and friends to send messages of encouragement and support whilst our athletes are competing overseas at international events through the Telstra HeroMessage™ service. This service was again activated for the 2003 World Swimming Championships in Barcelona. Telstra expects record numbers of HeroMessages to be sent to our Athens 2004 Olympic and Paralympic teams via e-mail and SMS. These HeroMessages will assist in supporting and inspiring our Olympic team to achieve unparalleled success.

Telstra's Adopt-A-Hero initiative has given primary schools across Australia the opportunity to 'adopt' their own Olympian or Paralympian. Every school that registers to join the free Telstra Adopt-A-Hero program can correspond with and follow the success of an athlete representing Australia at the 2004 Athens Olympic or Paralympic Games. The initial program targeted 200 primary schools nationally, however due to an overwhelming response we have expanded the initiative to include a further 90 schools.

Telstra again conducted its search for Australia's Favourite Swimmer in 2003. A massive 800,000 responses were received via SMS (short message service) technology and online via www.swimming.org.au. This response builds on the 18,000 responses from the previous year, and highlights the integration of Telstra technology into the lives of all Australians as well as the growing support for Australian swimming.

Telstra remains committed to supporting the development of and participation in sport in Australia and looks forward to further developing its relationship with Australian Swimming Inc. into the future.

David ThodeyGroup Managing DirectorTelstra Business and Government

The 2003–2004 Swimming year proved to be both a period of challenge and a period of pride as Australian Swimming continued its pursuit of excellence in the 12 months leading up to the history-making Games of the 28th Olympiad in Athens.

There is always that extra urgency attached to a year which has the biggest carrot of them all, the Olympics, dangling in front of our swimmers, our coaches and indeed our administrators.

Looking back over the last 12 months there has indeed been many challenges as our board underwent re-structuring, with new personnel and fresh, new ideas aimed at taking the sport forward. Everyone has been committed 100 percent to ensuring that Australian Swimming will continue to be Australia's number one Olympic sport.

The board room challenges have been matched by challenges in the pool and on the pool deck. The end of 2003 saw changes in the High Performance coaching structure. These changes saw ASI revert back to a single Head Coach system, with National Youth Coach Leigh Nugent appointed to spearhead the team to Athens. The acceptance of change by all involved saw a transition into 2004 which was both satisfying and smooth and all for the better.

The performances of the Telstra Dolphins at the FINA World Championships in Barcelona, although not as great as our feats of 2001 were both satisfying and encouraging in the build up to Athens. The gold medals won by Ian Thorpe, Grant Hackett, Matt Welsh and the men's 4x200m freestyle relay team, the world record breaking efforts of Welsh and Leisel Jones and the emergence of an exciting new wave of women were the undoubted highlights.

It augured well for the 2004 Telstra Olympic Team Trials which attracted great crowds and record television ratings for eight very exciting days of racing at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. The swimmers didn't disappoint with all but one event providing two "A" qualifiers and there was little doubt in my mind that it was "the best Australian Championships ever."

Libby Lenton's performance to establish a new world record in the 100m freestyle semi-final proved that you have to expect the unexpected at Olympic Trials. It was also special that Australia's two previous world record holders in this event, Dawn Fraser and Shane Gould were both watching from the grandstand.

While our senior athletes were doing their bit, Australia's emerging talent honed their skills against New Zealand in the Trans Tasman Series after a highly successful Fisher & Paykel Australian Age Championship. Our development programs continued to prosper with the Uncle Tobys Go Swim program an exciting addition to the grass roots of the sport and the successful launch of the Club Development program in Perth—both initiatives of Australian Swimming and the Australian Sports Commission.

It has been important to ensure that we have the best practice in place to continue the production of champions which started way back in 1900 with Freddie Lane's first two Olympic gold medals in Paris in 1900. It was the start of an Olympic tradition which has continued to produce great champions and more importantly great young Australians.

On that note it is with a touch of sadness that I pen these final words for this report in the closing stages of my four-year term as president of Australian Swimming.

It is an opportunity which I have thoroughly enjoyed, to play a part in helping young Australians fulfill their dreams.

Introduction

It is with considerable pleasure and some pride that I present, to the stakeholders and individual members, the ninety-fifth Annual Report of Australian Swimming Incorporated. It is a report that heralds our triumphs and details the wide and diverse range of activities that make up this great sport. Again, the sport can be proud of the efforts of our athletes in competition and of the efforts of the Directors in its role of governing and guiding the sport.

On the day that the report is delivered to the stakeholders, Australian Swimming will launch its new Strategic Plan. This is a plan that has been fifteen months in the making and will be the sport's blue print for the future. "Swimming for Life" provides direction for the sport and details the areas, to which the Directors of Australian Swimming will direct energy and resources. "Swimming for Life" seeks to develop the sport; to develop our clubs; and, to develop our people. In the development of the Plan, the Directors are reinforcing the basic premise that the strength of our sport are our clubs and our people. I strongly commend and thank the Directors for their leadership in the development of the Plan.

In line with recent annual reports, it is appropriate to summarise Australian Swimming's achievements in 2003–2004 against the four main pillars of "Swimming for Life." These achievements include:

High Performance ● Twenty-two medals won at the FINA World Championships in Barcelona ● Appointment of Leigh Nugent as Head Coach of the national team ● Successful national squad camp on the Gold Coast in December ● Integration of the Paralympic Preparation Program into the high performance program ● Continued delivery of services to national team athletes and coaches ● Continued strong relationships with state institutes/academies of sport

People Development ● New coach accreditation scheme launched and implemented ● Introduction of a Coach Accreditation Review Committee to oversee the scheme ● Launch of the Club Development Network in conjunction with the Australian Sports Commission ● Development of a Junior Sport Policy to nurture and protect our younger athletes ● Further resources provided to support technical officials at national and international events ● Progress of the National Officiating Accreditation Scheme

Sport Development ● Very successful conduct of the three Australian Championships ● Outstanding Telstra Olympic Selection Trials in Sydney, which attracted 40,000 spectators ● National Events Manager's role as the Aquatics Manager for the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games ● FINA World Cup conducted at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre in November 2003 ● The Board of the Melbourne 2007 FINA World Championships set up ● The continuation of the Telstra Ambassadors program ● The conduct of the Telstra Swimmer of the Year Dinner at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne

Business Development ● Completion of the national database ● www.swimming.org.au again attracts record hits ● Information Technology support provided to stakeholders ● Accounting advice and support provided to stakeholders ● Operating surplus of $159,000.00 ● Continued growth of the Australian Swimming Foundation

Throughout 2003–2004, the Board of Australian Swimming has worked tirelessly to ensure our sport is well governed and well resourced. This annual report will be the last full one for Australian Swimming Inc. The Board has determined that the organisation will move from an incorporated association to a company limited by guarantee and in doing so will become SWIMMING AUSTRALIA LIMITED. This change will more accurately reflect the nature and legal entity of the organisation. It will impose on the organisation, its staff and especially the Directors more stringent legal corporate responsibilities.

The Directors have worked well as a Board and as part of the Board committees and sub-committees throughout 2003–2004. David Urquhart and Kieren Perkins have worked with athletes and coaches on the High Performance Committee to ensure our national program is well planned and well resourced financially and with the right personnel. Colin Davis and Peter Harford, work tirelessly on the Finance and Audit Committee, which has overseen the organisation's financial reporting and auditing throughout the year. They have been joined by Neil Martin and Peter Mannes on an Australian Swimming Foundation sub-committee, which has developed into a governing Board. This Board ensures the Foundation's investments are appropriate and worthwhile. These gentlemen have been joined by stakeholder representatives Lawrie Cox (VIC) and Philip Mussared (TAS). Barry Mewett, a consultant with KPMG, has been appointed to the Foundation Board as an independent Director. Their work has been excellent in 2003–2004 and this is reflected in the returns enjoyed by the Foundation.

Director Tim Ford has led the Corporate Strategy Committee throughout the year. The fruits of this labour is the new Strategic Plan. The Committee, under Tim's direction, will work on the implementation of the plan at the national and stakeholder levels. President John Devitt, FINA Vice-President Roger Smith and Director Lynne Bates have continued to drive the organisation of the FINA World Championships in 2007. Lynne has been appointed to a senior executive position within the organisation—Deputy Chief Executive Officer. John, Roger and Australian Swimming CEO Glenn Tasker are members of the M2007 Board. Whilst in its infancy this Board is taking shape and now has three new Victorian Government representatives Mark Korda, Tony Beddison and Belinda Rowe. The M2007 Board is chaired by Steve Vizard, who led the bid team last year at the FINA Congress in Barcelona. Australian Swimming is extremely grateful to the Victorian Government and the Victorian Major Events Company for their support and unparalleled enthusiasm for this major world event.

This report will detail to the stakeholders Australian Swimming's sound financial position at the end of 2003–2004. The audited financial reports reveal a surplus of $159,599.00. A very sound result when many sports are struggling with rising costs and dropping income. Overseeing the financial position in our Finance Manager Harry Carroll, who has provided great support to the Board and the staff over the past twelve months. Harry has also provided support and advice to stakeholders on a range of accounting issues. Harry is very abled assisted by Fiona Rankin. This small but active business unit has also taken responsibility for all human resource issues within the Australian Swimming office. Over the past year, they have reviewed and amended the Australian Swimming Employee Manual.

Our Corporate Services team is ably led by Brendan Lynch, who continues to drive many programs within the organisation. Brendan's small but dynamic team are working with stakeholders to ensure the delivery of well planned and meaningful programs are available for clubs and members. Brendan also liaises closely with the staff at the Australian Sports Commission to ensure our sport is at the fore-front of new programs being developed and resourced by the Commission.

Our events team is led by National Events Manager, Grant Baldock. Grant and his team of Cathy Ebert, Kim Neilson and Liz Avery ensure our events are run smoothly and effortlessly. This is achieved through meticulous planning and calm execution.

The High Performance Unit is at the cutting edge of the sport. Its support of the Telstra Dolphins and the Fisher & Paykel Flippers ensures that athletes and their coaches have the optimum opportunity to perform well when engaged in national team activities. Led by John Priestly, the unit is made up of Matthew Sebbens, whose responsibilities are with the Telstra Dolphins and Melanie Jenkins, who takes care of the Fisher & Paykel Flippers. In 2003–2004, the Unit also took over the operations of the Paralympic Preparation Program which Melanie now administers. The Unit is guided by National Head Coach Leigh Nugent, who has been in the position since November 2003. Leigh has done an outstanding job leading the national team program and galvanising the team in its Athens 2004 Olympic campaign. Australian Swimming owes Leigh a debt of gratitude for his hard work. Our thanks also go to High Performance Director Greg Hodge, who is on extended leave, for his drafting of our high performance plans for the next four years.

The next sections of this Chief Executive Report are written by the manager of each section. I am grateful for their hard work and their support. I am pleased to acknowledge their efforts and congratulate them on their successes over the past year.

Corporate Services – Brendan Lynch, Manager

The Corporate Services Unit again focused on the key areas of administration, sport development, communication and policy implementation, and the rollout of the new database.

ASI secured the services of former Swimming Tasmania General Manager Len Yeats this year and he is already making a significant impact on our sport with the development of the junior sport policy and the national sport development plan. IT Project Manager Sascha Saharov continues the development and rollout of ASI's new database, a tool that is making life for our members and associations more productive and efficient.

Hazel Tolley continues to refine the administration of the organisation and Nerissa Avery provided much needed administrative support to ASI staff.

The Corporate Strategy Committee (CSC) was been given a range of issues to work on this year critical to the strategic direction of our sport. The key areas of focus have been:

● The development of ASI's new strategic plan and setting the scene for its implementation; ● Stakeholder governance and Board committee reviews ● Development of a research framework with respect to the protection of access to pool space for our developing and

elite swimmers ● Assisting in the assessment of business development opportunities and strategies

Current committee members are Vicki Colman, Peter Lozan, Alex Baumann, Russell Bowen and Tim Ford as Chair. Thank you to all committee members for their commitment and hard work, which has resulted in the development of the new strategic plan which details our objectives to be achieved between now and 2009. The CSC will now work with ASI Management on the implementation of the plan as well as developing templates to assist stakeholders in producing their operational plans.

Thank you too for the support and cooperation from the stakeholders, and as always we are very grateful for the ongoing support of the Australian Sports Commission.

Sport Development & Education – Len Yeats, Manager

The Sport Development and Education Unit was formed in October 2003 out of the Education and Development Unit, following the resignation of John Armstrong to take up a position at the Australian Sports Commission (ASC)

The unit consisted of the Membership Development Officer Natalie Menzies whose primary role has been the continued development of the Targeted Participation Growth Program — Uncle Tobys GO Swim and was ably supported by the Administration Officer Heike Hooper who played an essential role in enabling the smooth transition of the administration of the Coach Accreditation which was taken over by the Australian Swimming Teachers and Coaches Association (ASCTA).

In early March, Heike resigned from ASI to take up a position in the Public Service and the administration of the unit has since been shared between Hazel Tolley and Nerissa Avery.

The major challenges in Sport Development of the last 12 months has been the pulling together of the pieces of a large jigsaw puzzle and beginning the consolidated development of the sport of swimming. The development of ever improving relationships with key industry groups such as ASCTA and its subsidiaries Swim Australia, Swim Ed and GO Club Coach; Austswim; School Sport Australia (SSA), the Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER), and AUSSI Masters Swimming has seen increased cooperation and communication.

The reintroduction of a Coach Accreditation Review Committee in November 2003 has seen a smooth and cooperative transition of the Coach Accreditation System from the previous Level 1, 2, 3 system to a new system of Green, Bronze, Silver and Gold Licence. Along with this has been a standardised national development of resources including a competency based assessment workbook that has been well accepted by all stakeholders. Current committee members are Wayne Lomas (QASA - Chair), Michael Ursu (ASCTA), Vince Raleigh (ASCTA) Ross Gage (ASCTA) replaced by Michael Piper (ASCTA), Sam Shields (WA), John Kilpatrick (VIC) and Craig Oliver (NSW).

GO Club has been adopted as the name for the ASC National Club Development program and a major initiative in this area has been the partnership between the ASC and ASI in the promotion of the Network to every swimming club. Since the launch of this partnership in April 2004, around 25% of Swimming Clubs have joined the network and Swimming now has one of the largest representations of all sports in the network.

Other initiatives currently being developed are the resources and implementation of a Club Coach education program under the guidance of Rohan Taylor of ASCTA and the development of a National Club Standard measurement system to recognise the achievements and developments of Swimming Clubs.

Another partnership with the ASC has seen ASI become one of only 9 sports selected to trial the development of a Junior Sport Policy from the recently developed National Junior Sport Framework. The Draft Policy Framework has been developed with input from all Stakeholders plus School Sport Australia, the ASC and ACHPER. Currently it is being taken to all stakeholders in the first part of a national consultation.

The Targeted Participation Growth Program, Uncle Toby's GO Swim, is another joint initiative with the ASC which has targeted Learn to Swim Providers and has encouraged boys and girls participating in their programs to joining ASI as GO Swimmers. We are fortunate to have Uncle Toby's as a major sponsor of the program and with Ross Gage as project Manager and Natalie Menzies as the Membership Development Officer the program has made some rapid development s over the last 12 months.

Finally the ASI Technical Committee with Don Blew AM as Chair and John Keppie as Secretary and consisting of representatives from all State/Territory Technical Committees continues to oversee the appointment of technical officials to all our major events; recommend to the Board appointments to the FINA Technical Official lists; recommend to the ASI Board changes to rules relating to swimming and select the Official of the Year.

Thank you for the support and cooperation from all our member stakeholders, the key industry groups mentioned in this report other and as always we are very grateful for the ongoing support of the Australian Sports Commission, particularly the Junior Sport, Coaching and Officiating and Club Development Units.

High Performance – John Priestly, Manager

High Performance Committee (HPC)

Permanent members on the HPC are:

David Urquhart – Chairman and ASI DirectorKieren Perkins – ASI DirectorLeigh Nugent – National Head CoachTony Woodhouse – SelectorRyan Mitchell – Athlete representativeRohan Taylor – Elite Coaches representativeAlan Thompson – ASCTA representative

Invitees and non-voting members include CEO Glenn Tasker and PPP Head Coach Brendan Keogh. The Committee (HPC) continues to put in place strategies to achieve the strategic direction of the organisation.

National Team Coaching Structure

In December 2003 the Board appointed a sub-committee to review the effectiveness of the Coaching structure that consisted of a full time High Performance Director and part time Men's and Women's Head Coaches. Following this review it was determined that the structure which had served Australian Swimming so well in the 12 years leading up to and including the 2001 World Championships had greater support and acceptance among the athlete and coaching fraternities and should be reintroduced. The National Youth Coach Leigh Nugent agreed to fill the role of National Head Coach until the completion of the 2004 World Short Course Championships and moved into this position in January 2004.

His focus in this role has been to liaise with the elite coaches and swimmers to optimise the Olympic team preparation in the lead up to the Athens Olympics.

Telstra Dolphins Program

Again this year the National Youth and Senior Dolphins programs were integrated with a National Event Camp being held on the Gold Coast in December for 120 athletes. This camp provided the opportunity for both coaches and swimmers to interact with a wide cross section of their peers and share ideas. Although very successful it was determined that these large camps should only be held at the start of the new Olympic cycle with the intervening years running smaller stroke specific camps.

International Competition

The 2003 World Championships provided us with the opportunity to run a full dress rehearsal of our 2004 Olympic preparation as well as benchmarking ourselves against the rest of the World. The team continued its history of strong performances by finishing second behind the powerful US team on both the Gold Medal and Total Medal tally. It highlighted some areas of weakness in our current program but also there were some encouraging performances from our Women's team in the sprint freestyle and IM areas. These strong performances continued to shine through at our Olympic Trials and have resulted in us selecting what is a very strong and well-balanced team to compete in the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Our open water swimmers were also very competitive at the 2003 World Championships. Although not achieving any podium finishes, many of the races featured blanket finishes with the difference between first and 10th being less than a second.

ASI continued to provide quality international competition opportunities for our junior and development swimmers with teams selected to compete in the 2003 World University Games, 2003–2004 World Cup Series and 2004 Oceania Championships. This year the Mare Nostrum series of meets was used to provide high level racing practice to members of our Olympic team. With the support of the State Institutes and the ASC, we were able to provide a number of our Olympic team with the opportunity to travel and train at altitude in the USA and race in the Janet Evans Invitational meet in Los Angeles.

In October 2003 ASI entered into a formal agreement with the Australian Paralympic Committee to administer their Paralympic Preparation Program. As part of this program a team was selected to compete in the 2004 INAS-FID World Swimming Championships in Hong Kong. This small team competed extremely well and achieved outstanding results.

National Institute/Academy Network

This year the National Elite Sports Council (NESC) and Australian Sports Commission (ASC) called for submissions from all national sporting organisations regarding their high performance program for the period 2005 to 2009.

Our High Performance Director, Greg Hodge, was instrumental in compiling the initial documentation and presenting it to NESC in December 2003, which outlined ASIs wish to continue to strengthen our relationship with the National Institute of Sport network and how they would help deliver and enhance the services available to swimmers in their daily training and competition environment. Following these presentations all the plans were evaluated. ASI was complimented on the quality of its presentation and invited to submit further information to a meeting in March to clarify some funding and structural issues. With the change in the national coaching structure Leigh Nugent, Glenn Tasker and John Priestly provided NESC with this supplementary information. All the major institutes/academies have indicated their ongoing support for their swimming programs.

ASI have also been working with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) on two other exciting projects. The first of these is the planned construction of an additional 50m ten-lane pool at the AIS campus in Canberra which will be used by ASI as a national training centre. This pool will have state of the art analysis capabilities and ASI is currently working with the AIS to ensure it will also be available for the use of our state squads and individual club programs at a reasonable cost. The second project is a pilot project exploring the use of technology to provide information and feedback to swimmers and coaches in their home program by making race analysis and video footage available to them using a searchable database over the internet.

The National Team

The national team's success over many years is a tribute not only to the quality and professionalism of the people on the team but also to the support they receive in their home programs from their home coach, parents, state association and state institute or academy. Our achievements at the World Championships this year and a future meets such as the 2004 Olympics will continue to rely on all these people working together for the benefit of our sport. On behalf of our national team, I sincerely thank my team of Matthew Sebbens and Melanie Jenkins for the enormous contribution to the national program.

Events – Grant Baldock, Manager

2003 Telstra Australian Short Course Swimming Championships2–5 August 2003, Hobart Tasmania

The 2003 Telstra Australian Short Course Swimming Championships were held at the Tattersall's Hobart Aquatic Centre, from 2–5 August 2003.

A total of 381 swimmers competing from 94 clubs around the country, were in attendance including the majority of the Barcelona World Championship team. The meet was the first major Australian Swimming event that has been conducted in Hobart since the 2001 Telstra Australian Swimming Championships. The event was a great opportunity for the Tasmanian swimming public to see some of Australia's top swimmers compete. Favourable media coverage was received both locally and nationally through television and print media.

Congratulations to the Premier Club and winner of the J.F.Howson Trophy, Commercial from Queensland. Congratulations also to the winner of the H.B. Ive Trophy for the Premier State, Queensland.

Overall, the 2003 Telstra Australian Short Course Championships were very successful. The performances of swimmers throughout the meet were consistently high with one Commonwealth Short Course Record broken, nine Australian Short Course Records, and ten All Comers Short Course Records broken. Thank you to our Principal Sponsor Telstra, Tattersall's Hobart Aquatic Centre and Swimming Tasmania for their support in the lead up and during the event.

2003 Qantas Skins26 November 2003, Sydney NSW

The 2003 Qantas Skins was held at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre, Sydney on Wednesday 26 November 2003

The event was broadcast live on Fox Sports around Australia and delayed on the Nine Network. This event provided the sport and swimmers with an excellent opportunity to promote themselves to the Australian public and current sponsors. The media support for the event was outstanding with good results in all the major print media. The ratings on both Fox Sports & the Nine Network were a success with an increase of cumulative audience against the 2002 event of 35% on Fox Sports and 55% on the Nine Network. The inclusion of the USA Swimming sensation Michael Phelps in the event certainly assisted with the event promotion and overall success of the event.

In addition, more than 6000 people attended the event. Thank you to Qantas, New South Wales Swimming and Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre for their contribution to the success of the event.

2003 Telstra World Cup28–30 November, Melbourne VIC

The 2003 Telstra FINA World Cup proved a success with more than 10,000 spectators attending the meet over the three days of competition. This, combined with a fifteen percent increase in television ratings on Fox Sports, contributed significantly to the success of the meet. The return of Michael Klim and the performance of fellow Melbournian Matt Welsh plus the international stars that competed including up by Michael Phelps contributed greatly to the positive publicity associated with the event.

ASI would like to thank Telstra, the Victorian Government and Victorian Major Events Company for their financial support and expertise leading up to the event. ASI would also like to thank Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre and Swimming Victoria for their support in the planning and execution of the event.

2003 Telstra Swimmer of the Year1 December 2003, Melbourne VIC

The 14th Telstra Swimmer of the Year Awards was held on Monday 1 December 2003 in the Savoy Ballroom at the Grand Hyatt, Melbourne. This black tie event is held in order to honour the extraordinary achievements and success of our elite swimmers, coaches and for the first time technical officials.

The national winners were announced in front of 450 guests consisting of VIP's, swimmers, coaches, past swimming legends, celebrities, media and other members of the swimming community. The event was set to the theme 'Water Gives Life' which was incorporated throughout the evening by using a collection of images from two different Australian photographic exhibitions. The room and tables were also themed to 'Water Gives life'. Various forms of entertainment were used through out the night with a professional comedian being used as the event MC. A Sphere Aerial Ballet display and 'Bachelor Girl' were the main feature acts of the evening and a band by the name of Djevu was the main dance band for the evening. Nicole Livingstone also conducted impromptu interviews with some of the superstars throughout the evening.

ASI would like to thank Telstra for their support and assistance in the conduct of the event. Thank you also to Mink and Rush Special Events and Hanson Sports Media for their efforts.

2004 Telstra Australian Championships27 March–3 April 2004, Sydney NSW

The 2004 Telstra Olympic Team Swimming Trials were held at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre from Saturday 27 March–Saturday 3 April.

The main highlight of the event was the performance of the swimmers across the eight days of competition. This included one World, nine Commonwealth and sixteen Australian Records in the able bodied competition. The finals sessions were broadcast live around Australia during five nights on the Nine Network and the remaining three nights were broadcast live on Fox Sports around Australia. A total of 27.75 hours of live television coverage was received over the eight days of the event; television ratings on the Nine Network were some of the best ever recorded for an Australian Swimming domestic event, with peak audiences on Day 5 reaching 1,990,000 and on Day 6 reaching 2,039,000. The broadcast achieved four of the top 20 programs for the week in television. The attendance figures for the event were also very positive with 15,000 more tickets sold to the public than at the 2003 Championships. The Australian Swimming Web Site also received record numbers of traffic, with 12.2 million hits being received during the week of the Trials, which was 20% of Australian Swimming's total traffic for 2003–2004.

ASI would like to thank Telstra, the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre and New South Wales Swimming for their support in the successful conduct of the event.

2004 Fisher & Paykel Australian Age championships14–18 April 2004, Perth, WA

The 2004 Fisher & Paykel Australian Age Championships were held at Challenge Stadium, Perth from 14–18 April 2004.

The total number of swimmers entered in the meet was 1318, with exceptional performances being recorded across both genders and all age groups. A total of 12 Australian Age and 4 Australian Age All comers records were broken during the course of the meet. One of the key highlights of the event was the coordination of event production, medal presentations and music production. Congratulations to Commercial QLD on winning the premier club pointscore and Queensland who took out the premier state pointscore for the third year running.

Overall, the 2004 Fisher & Paykel Australian Age Championships were very successful. One of the main driving forces of the success was the close liaison between the three key players in coordinating the event, Australian Swimming, Challenge Stadium and WA Swimming. ASI would like to thank Fisher & Paykel, Challenge Stadium and WA Swimming for the support they provided to the event.

2004 Fisher & Paykel Australian Age Open Water Swimming Championships19 April 2004, Perth, WA

The Fisher & Paykel Australian Age Open Water Swimming Championships was conducted on 19 April, at Burswood Water in Perth. A total of 177 entries were received across the different age groups. The increase in entry numbers reflect that interest in age group open water swimming.

The above factors combined with the favourable location for the conduct of the meet contributed significantly to the overall success of the meet. ASI would like to thank naming rights sponsor Fisher & Paykel for their support of the Age Open Water Swimming Championships.

2004 Telstra Australian Open Water Swimming Championships19–21 April 2004, Perth, WA

The 2004 Telstra Australian Open Water Swimming Championships were held at Burswood Water, Perth, Western Australia from 19–21 April. The events were the selection trials for the 2004 Open Water World Swimming Championships team.

The male and female 5km, 10km and 25km events were contested over three consecutive days. The location of the event on

Perth's Swan River was an ideal venue. The Water Ski Park provided the required facilities to ensure the appropriate comfort for both athletes and spectators. The overall number of athletes and entries were slightly higher than the 2003 event.

A big thank you to those supporters who assisted in staging the event including Sold Out National Event Management and WA Swimming. Thanks also to the sponsor Telstra, the water safety personnel that assisted throughout the three-day program and the technical officials that made the event possible.

Australian Sports Commission

A simple glance at the Australian Swimming financial report will show that the Australian Sports Commission is a vital ingredient in the operation of our sport. The resources provided by the Commission drives our high performance program and in no small way plays an important part of the national team's success.

Australian Swimming is also pleased to acknowledge the support of the Commission through our Targeted Participation Growth Program — Uncle Tobys Go Swim; our Indigenous Sports Program and the Club Development Network. With the Commissions support, Australian Swimming has been able to sign up 24% of its swimming clubs to the Club Development Network.

Australian Swimming is pleased to acknowledge Chairman Peter Bartels and CEO Mark Peters for their support of our work. Thank you also to Don Cameron, the senior sports consultant assigned to assist Australian Swimming. Don is always available and provides sound advice and information. Don is also invited to Australian Swimming stakeholder meetings, where he is an active and constructive participant.

Australian Swimming is also supported through Australian Institute of Sport swimming program. Institute athletes performed very well at the Telstra Australian Championships in March. Their performances were a credit to new head coach Pierre LaFontaine and his staff Glenn Beringen and Barry Prime. Australian Swimming is grateful to Institute Director Michael Scott for his on-going support.

Thank you also to the Federal Minister for the Arts and Sport, Senator Rod Kemp, Senator Kemp has been most supportive of the national team and the development work being done in our sport. Thank you also to Bill Rowe, the Minister's adviser for his availability and advice.

Conclusion

As this report testifies, Australian Swimming has been successful in the pool and out of it. This success is due to a remarkable amalgam of volunteer labour with our paid professionals. Over the past year, several members of staff have left to pursue other employment. I am pleased to recognise Darren Mooney, Heike Hopper, Roxanne Pickering, John Armstrong and Andrew Marshall for their work.

I sincerely thank Sports Marketing and Management for their work in securing vital resources for Australian Swimming programs. Their advice and involvement in our programs and events are important to the success these enjoy. Australian Swimming has access to a very experienced team, which has expertise in a wide range of commercial activities. Thank you to Mike Bushell, the Managing Director; Rod Read, the CEO; and, Damien Moston, our Account Manager.

Thank you to President John Devitt, whose term as President comes to an end at this 2003–2004 annual meeting. So will end an unbroken period of service to the Australian Swimming Board stretching back to the 1980's. John's work for our sport was recognised by the Oceania Swimming Association in May 2004 when it made him an Honorary Member of that Association, the equivalent of life membership. Thank you also to our hardworking Directors, who provide great direction for our sport and for me personally. Again their qualifications are listed in this report to demonstrate the calibre of person sitting on our Board.

As always my final thank you goes to my selfless Executive Assistant, Vicki Douglas. Vicki provides the directors and myself with great support and encouragement. Our business lives are made much easier by Vicki's dedication and patience.

In many respects, the 2003–2004 year has been a tough one for Australian Swimming. There has been several critical issues, which could have distracted the organisation from its core business. It is testimony to the Directors and our staff that these critical issues have been dealt with quickly and effectively. More importantly these issues have not been allowed to take the organisation's focus off its main objectives. It is imperative that the sport continues to be focussed on the future — 'Swimming for Life' will greatly assist in providing that focus. Whilst I commend this 2003–2004 Annual Report to you, I challenge you to read and adopt 'Swimming for Life' as our road map for the 2004–2005 year and beyond.

Glenn TaskerChief Executive Officer

VALE In 2003–2004, Australian Swimming lost members, who have made significant contributions to our sport. Australian Swimming Life Member, Bill Berge Phillips OBE passed away in 2004. Bill was the only person to be President of Australian Swimming and FINA. He is sorely missed. The sympathy of Australian Swimming goes to the families and friends of those no longer with us.

Australian Swimmers’ Association

As our swimmers look forward to the excitement and challenge of the Athens Olympics, the Australian Swimmers' Association is looking back on a successful twelve months.

The last year has seen considerable change for the ASA. We appointed Regan Sterry as our inaugural General Manager; became incorporated as the Australian Swimmers' Association; expanded our board of management; and, importantly, signed up our first members. Regan has been instrumental in our development this year. My special thanks must go to her for her hard work and professional approach.

Following our incorporation, our newly formed Executive Committee was expanded to ten members. Joining the existing Swimmers' Commission members were Giaan Rooney, Grant Hackett and Josh Watson. Todd Pearson was elected as Vice President, an appointment which reflects his standing within the swimming community and the ASA. I would like to thank each Executive Member for giving their time, assistance and commitment over the last twelve months.

Thank you also to all our members for their support throughout our first year. We have worked over the past year to improve communication to swimmers and to ensure that they have a strong voice within swimming. We have made good inroads and will continue to have communication to the swimmers as a prime goal.

The ASA is working towards an Agreement with Australian Swimming, which will see increased professionalism within the sport, and more financial security for our members. This will be developed over the next few months and will be a major step forward for swimming in Australia, and our members.

We are excited about the growth we have made over the past twelve months and look forward to building on this as we move forward. On behalf of the ASA I would like to thank the Board and staff of Australian Swimming Inc. for their assistance over the past twelve months.

Finally, congratulations to all swimmers, coaches and staff selected for the Athens Olympics, I have no doubt you will represent yourselves and your country with pride.

Ryan Mitchell President

Regan Sterry General Manager

Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association

We have been fortunate to experience a wonderful Olympic Trials meet in Sydney and the selection of some very talented athletes and coaches to contest the swimming events at the forthcoming Olympic Games in Athens.

I am sure that all the swimming community will join the ASCTA Board in congratulating the swimmers, the team coaches and supporting staff on their appointments to the Team and we all wish them well in Athens. Whatever the outcome we know that they will have given their very best in what promises to be an extremely exciting competition.

These swimmers and coaches however have themselves been assisted by a number of people. The teachers in the learn to swim programs as well as the junior coaches and home coaches attached to the various squads have made an enormous contribution the success of the athletes concerned. Once again our thanks to you all. It is an indication of the depth of talent we have amongst our coaches, swimmers and officials in this country.

As the President of ASCTA, I wish to congratulate the 2004 ASCTA Oceania Convention and Trade Expo organizing committee for an excellent job. As expected the Convention has been extremely well organised again this year and I am sure no one was disappointed with the programs we had on offer. Thanks must also go to our overseas guest coaches and teachers for sharing their knowledge and wealth of experience with us. No matter how much we think we know—we are never too old to learn from our peers! This is part of what ASCTA is all about—continued education and a sense of being able to help out whenever we can be of assistance.

Our organisation's administration would not function without the efficiency of the Executive Director, Michael Ursu. The Board had the pleasure of recognising Michael's efforts for the past 10 years during the Convention Gala Dinner.

ASCTA, ASI and the State Swimming associations are extremely committed to coaches' education, professional development and the welfare of coaches and teachers.

During 2003–04 many new projects have been successfully launched which will contribute to the success of our sport in the future. We are extremely proud of the cooperation between the stakeholders of ASI in achieving many radical changes to the governance of our sport.

This year has seen the development of a new constitution and the launch of two major projects: SwimEd and Go Club. ASCTA have been so fortunate to have such highly capable ASCTA members at the head of these projects.

Our Swim Australia Project is going from strength to strength and reports received from the learn to swim sector of our industry are very positive.

After another successful year for ASCTA I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of ASI and in particular John Devitt and Glenn Tasker for their co-operation during the year.

I would also like to take this opportunity and congratulate John Devitt and Forbes Carlile for their ASI Life Member Award. As President of ASI, John has always been known for his fairness and flexibility and ASCTA has been most appreciative of his input.

The Board of ASCTA has been very busy during the year as we met many times to determine the future direction of our association. ASCTA new constitution and by-laws is an example of the work we have done to bring our governance in to the 21st Century.

In closing I would like to pass on my best wishes to everyone for a successful year. The Olympics will undoubtedly be one of our major highlights but it is hoped that a new generation of swimmers will, as a result of what they witness in Athens,

kindle a dream of becoming a member of future Olympic Teams. There is such a sense of history in swimming in Australia and it is hoped that the traditions established by the Durack's, Beaurepaire's, Rose's, Konrad's, Fraser's, Gould's, Sieben's, Armstrong's, Perkin's, O'Neill's, and our current reigning Olympic champions—Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett and the new brigade, will continue to be the envy of swimming nations worldwide.

Alan ThompsonPresident

Michael Ursu Executive Director

New South Wales

The 2003–2004 year has been another successful one in all aspects of our sport. NSW Swimming continues to progress well, enjoying a very successful year, both in and out of the pool. The highlights include:

● 11 NSW swimmers selected on the Australian team to compete at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens;

● 8 NSW swimmers selected on the Australian team to compete at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens;

● 5 Gold, 4 Silver and 3 Bronze medals to NSW swimmers at the 2003 World Swimming Championships in Barcelona, with Ian Thorpe continuing his history making ways in becoming the first swimmer to win the same event at three consecutive World Championships with his win in the Men's 400m Freestyle;

● Successful tours of Japan and New Zealand by NSW teams; ● Successful swim meets throughout the summer and winter; ● Winning the Kieran Shield as the premier state in the Men's

point score at the Australian Open Championships; ● Finishing a close second to Queensland in the state point

score at the Australian Age Championships; ● The review of the Association's strategic and business plans, the adoption of a risk management plan; and the review

of the Association's policies and procedures; ● The development and implementation of a number of club education workshops and material; ● Input to ASI in the development and implementation of an online system for registrations, with online entries, results

and rankings to follow this year; ● The roll out of the Member Protection Policy to members; ● The negotiation of comprehensive insurance coverage and reduced premiums; ● The collaboration with ASCTA NSW in the provision of workshops for NSW coaches; ● The staging of the second annual NSW Swimming Technical Officials dinner; and ● The establishment of a partnership with Queensland Swimming to conduct a State of Origin Meet between QLD and

NSW, beginning in 2004.

It is pleasing to report that significant governance changes have been overwhelmingly endorsed by members at the 2003 and 2004 Annual General Conferences, paving the way for the progression of the Association and ensuring its future successes.

The Association's main focus continues to be the development of all swimmers at all levels, from the grassroots through to the elite. Numerous clinics and visits, including swimmer and coach education programs were once again conducted throughout the year by our swimming development staff. The number of swimmers, coaches and parents attending these clinics is encouraging and shows the need for such a program to continue and develop swimming throughout NSW. The most significant swimming development expansion included the introduction of a 4-tier District development program, significantly enhancing the financial contribution and resources provided to Districts to develop swimmers from participatory level through to national qualifiers.

Thank you to our valued sponsors, NSW Department of Sport & Recreation, Speedo, Sydney Credit Union, Telstra, Qantas, Union of Old Swimmers and The Carbine Club of NSW, whose continued support is greatly appreciated and acknowledged.

The Association continues to improve its performance in all areas and our swimmers are reaping the benefits of these improvements. We are well positioned to perform strongly over the next 12 months, both in and out of the pool. One of the challenges will be to address the decline in memberships.

Cliff HarrisPresident

Julie MajerExecutive Director

Northern Territory

The 2003–2204 year has seen a restructure of our meet calendar. A major initiative was the Swim Start series designed to provide 'come and try' meets for non-members and/or inexperienced members. Characteristics of the six meets were: a forty minute timeframe; using modified rules; rostering the meets by Clubs at their home pools. The format will be continued next season.

The Indigenous Sports Program continues with support for the two identified indigenous squads at Nguiu and Warrego. Initial work has begun in partnership with AustSwim NT who has developed suitable courses and is currently training indigenous adults to conduct swimming programs.

There have been three Green Licence Coaching Accreditation courses held regionally in Katherine, Alice Springs and Nhulunbuy. A further course was conducted in Darwin.

NTS Development Clinics have been held at Nguiu, Katherine (in conjunction with the Green licence course), Nhulunbuy (incorporating a high performance camp), and Darwin. A Medley Clinic was conducted by Max O'Callaghan, Level 2 Performance and former head coach of Alice Springs in Darwin.

Sascha Saharov gave us much of his time and expertise to enable Club Registrars and NTS Officers to utilise the on-line database effectively. NTS looks forward to the next stage of the database development.

NT Swimming acknowledges and appreciates the financial assistance given to them through grants by the NT Department of Sport; and assistance received from Telstra and Fisher and Paykel via ASI. NT Swimming also appreciates the sponsorship from Dialog who continues to maintain the web page.

Clare LabowitchPrograms Manager

Queensland

The past year yielded many pleasing results for Queensland Swimming. Good progress was made in a number of key areas, and success of our elite and emerging swimmers in competition continued unabated. The most noteworthy achievements and development activities were:

● 18 Queensland swimmers and six coaches were selected on the 2004 Olympic and Paralympic Games teams

● Five of our swimmers won 2 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze medals in individual events at the World Championships in Barcelona

● Queensland was the premier State at the Australian Short Course and Australian Age Championships and finished runner up at the Australian Open Championships

● Development teams competed in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, New South Wales and Victorian Short Course Championships

● Coaching clinics for regional swimmers with a disability were held at Thursday Island, Mackay, Brisbane, Rockhampton, Cairns, and the Gold Coast

● Coach education courses were delivered in Brisbane, Emerald, Townsville, Toowoomba, Normanton and at the Gold Coast

● Scholarships were provided to six emerging coaches under the Mentor Coach Program ● A new mentoring program for regional Technical Officials was successfully implemented at the Queensland Swimming

Championships ● An innovative event designed to present swimming as a fun sport to our juniors was successfully piloted ● Agreement was reached with New South Wales Swimming Association on the introduction of an annual Swimming

State of Origin competition with Queensland, with the inaugural event to be held in September 2004 ● A new standard constitution for Regional Swimming Associations was implemented

Queensland Swimming gratefully acknowledges the support it receives from the Queensland Government and its loyal sponsors.

South Australia

The South Australian Government announcement late in 2003 that the new State Aquatic Facility was to be located at the Domain site Marion provided the aquatic sports with a much needed surety that we would have a facility of international standard for competition and training by the end of 2006. The new facility to be developed under a Public Private Partnership arrangement put end to speculation on other options and will certainly create much interest as the project unfolds over the next year.

The Office for Recreation and Sport finalised its review of its grants schemes for sport and recreation bodies and will introduce a new State Enhancement Program that will enable State Sporting organisations to apply for three year funding. The new system to be introduced in 2004 will provide some confidence for development officer employment. Longer term planning and delivery of development programs, activities and special projects will stem from this decision.

SwimSA made a challenging decision to participate in a Governance Review project commissioned and funded by the Office for Recreation and Sport. The final report from the consultants, Collins Anderson Management which is complementary to a previous internal review has been presented to and positively received by stakeholders. Implementation of proposed changes to SwimSA's governance will be a challenge for the Board in 2004–2005.

Membership numbers have again failed to increase this year. This is despite new initiatives and programs directed at increasing participation. Our competition calendar has generated strong levels of attendance. Growth of the sport is something that remains a constant objective.

SwimSA's long standing major sponsor SA Water, the Office for Recreation and Sport and other sponsors, Coca Cola Amatil, Network Ten, Zoggs and National sponsors Telstra and Fisher & Paykel are all greatly appreciated. It is this support that enables greater opportunities for increased participation and talented athlete development.

Our many volunteers have again contributed significantly to the sport over the past year and without their time and energies the sport would struggle, we sincerely thank all volunteers and officials.

In an Olympic year we were delighted to see Fran Adcock, Melissa Morgan and Sarah Ryan selected for the Australian Olympic Team and Matthew Cowdrey in the Paralympic Team for Athens. Catherine Ware was selected for the Open Water Swim Team for the World Championships. We wish them well.

Jim Braendler President

Graham Sampson General Manager

Tasmania

The 2003–2004 year has been one of change for Swimming Tasmania. The Association has continued to focus on the development of swimming and improvement in its operations, including the development of a new strategic plan.

At the annual meeting in October 2003, Philip Mussared was re-elected as President and Jim Wilkinson, Jennifer Young and Brian Downes were re-elected as Directors. Susan Cure was appointed to the Board following Brian Downes' resignation in December 2003.

Following the resignation of Len Yeats as General Manager in October 2003, Corrina Travers was appointed to the position, while also fulfilling the role and responsibilities of Development Officer. Mary Schiebel was appointed to the role of Finance and Administration Manager. The Office staff also includes a part time administration trainee and a part time High Performance Coach.

The Tasmanian Development Program continued in 2003, including the Tasmanian Institute of Sport (TIS) Elite Development Squad. Swimming Tasmania sincerely appreciates the continued support and guidance that we receive from both the TIS and ASI for this Program.

Tasmanian swimmer Penny Sproal continued her success in the pool and was named the Tasmanian Junior Female Athlete of the Year, confirming her potential as a star of the future.

For the third consecutive year, Swimming Tasmania was a finalist in the Organisation Management Award category for the 2003 Tasmanian Sport and Recreation Industry Awards for Excellence.

Swimming Tasmania would like to acknowledge all of its partners for their continued support and, in particular, the guidance and support provided by Australian Swimming.

Philip Mussared President

Corrina Travers General Manager

Victoria

Last season we moved into the 'Education Era'; we have now advanced from the introductory phase into the more practical stage of "getting it done".

The three key areas of focus have been Club Education, ASCTA and AUSTSWIM courses and the development and use of the new database system. All three areas have seen significant advances and are worthy of highlighting.

Club Education, under the stewardship of Len Yeats of ASI, is of terrific benefit to the grassroots of our sport and the work Kellie McMillan has done throughout rural Victoria has generated great comment and invoked solid involvement from the clubs and districts.

At the start of the season we moved from the old coaching accreditation system to a new five level system and it is pleasing to say that John Kilpatrick has played a key role in this process. We are now working closely with AUSTSWIM to decentralise the delivery of their courses.

We have also played a key role in the development of the new database management system being created by Australian Swimming. One of our newest staff members, Lucille James has worked closely with Sascha Saharov on the introduction of this system. ASI is to be congratulated for its leadership in this area.

In the pool we have excelled this year! A record number of our competitors have achieved their goals — seven making the Olympic team and eleven becoming Paralympians. It is terrific that we have a mixture of experience and rookies representing us internationally. This augurs well for the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. Michael Klim and Matt Welsh are moving towards legend status; Brooke Hanson is becoming a real star; Giaan Rooney and Brett Hawke are stars; and Shayne Reese and Patrick Murphy are commencing what we hope will be long and illustrious careers.

Our Paralympians will all represent us with tremendous enthusiasm and great skill and we wish them well. Selected were eleven swimmers, representing eight clubs, with six male and five female swimmers. Hannah MacDougall, Kobie Scott, Sarah Bowen, Lichelle Clarke and Amanda Drennan make up the ladies while Daniel Bell, Sam Bramham, Dale Grant, Alex Hadley, Alex Harris and Rod Welsh are the men.

In addition to this six other Victorians are going experience the Olympic dream; Leigh Nugent (Head Coach), Mark Thompson (Coach), David Wilson (Team Manager), Bernard Savage (Sports Science) and Jo Yeoman-Hare (Massage Therapist). John Beckworth will be one of five coaches taking care of the Paralympians, along with Adam Luscombe as Team Manager.

Our State Championships have become a great competition on the Australian calendar; we thank the swimmers and clubs from interstate who in conjunction with our international visitors make it such a high class meet.

We thank Glenn Tasker, Brendan Lynch and the staff at ASI for their support and guidance. Thankyou to retiring ASI President John Devitt and the ASI board; our interstate colleagues for the unified approach with which we are working; and, the ASC (in particular Don Cameron), for your support. Swimming Victoria is pleased to recognise Sport and Recreation Victoria and VicHealth for their ongoing support; likewise Zoggs and Alinta Gas for their contribution and guidance.

Finally we wish everyone every success in Athens and thank our swimmers, coaches, officials, parents and administrators for making the sport one of Australia's best. You should all be proud of what the sport is achieving. We look forward to catching up with you on pool deck or in a committee room soon.

Lawrie Cox President

Ron Bongetti Executive Director

Western Australia

What an exciting season 2003–2004 has been!

Increased membership combined with increased participation by the community; a small cash surplus; WA swimmers competing at the World Championships, Trans Tasman Series, World Cup Series, Mare Nostrum and World University Games during the year! Conducting the National Age Championships here in Perth, the selection of eight West Australians in the Olympic Team, four swimmers for the Paralympics, and one of the Olympic coaches! We have one of only two officials to go to Athens, and Kaye Bolger named as the Australian Swimming Official of the Year 2003.

Once again we have been able to shown a minor surplus on cash funds received before depreciation. Our financial administration of AUSTSWIM on a fee for service basis has continued, to the mutual benefit of both organisations.

Our website flourishes, whilst we continually strive for additional developments. Hits on the site continue to escalate, confirming its status as one of the most popular Australian swimming sites.

The Department of Sport and Recreation have continued their strong assistance through funding for development of the sport, high performance activities, country communications, officiating and the Academy of Sport (North West and Goldfields).

Our long association with HEALTHWAY is reflected with a two year sponsorship directed at programs linking schools with WA Swimming clubs, and the improvement of coaching and swimming standards throughout the State.

We again extend our appreciation to the Board and staff at Australian Swimming Inc for their continuing liaison and support. The successful implementation of the new On Line Registration process is entirely due to the drive and support from ASI.

Peter PrunsterPresident

Ian Scott Executive Director

Australian Swimming has reached new heights in media coverage over the last 12 months with the special breed of "girl power" providing the sport with a fresh dose of youthful exuberance, amazing talent and vibrant personalities.

There were signs at the 2003 FINA World Championships in Barcelona of the new breed—made up of new faces and old ones with a new lease of life, namely Jodie Henry, Libby Lenton, Leisel Jones, Alice Mills and Brooke Hanson enjoying their time on the medal dais.

Our host broadcasters Channel Nine were there to capture all the action and to portrait and profile the performances of the Telstra Dolphins, working around the clock to ensure the swimming fans in Australia had their usual high standard of camera angles, colour, behind the scenes stories and interviews.

Nine, along with co-broadcast hosts Fox Sports, has become an intricate part of the swimming family and the performances of this new breed in Barcelona set the stage for what was to become one of the most watched sporting television events of the last 12 months—the 2004 Telstra Olympic Team Trials.

The Sydney Aquatic Centre provided the perfect stage for eight days of drama charged swimming action as swimmers from all round the country put their bodies and their reputations on the line in the cut-throat Olympic Trials.

It seemed that from the moment of Ian Thorpe's untimely slip to Libby Lenton's unexpected world record on night five, the '04 Trials had everything.

And it was certainly representative of the television ratings with the women's 100m freestyle final topping the ratings for the week and remaining one of the most watched night's of television—sport or otherwise for the year.

The stars were Libby Lenton, Jodie Henry, Alice Mills, Sarah Ryan and Shayne Reese and the girls stood and delivered and it heralded a night of great entertainment on television.

With so much focus on the fans and family in the stands it also provided Nine with reality sport at its absolute best with wonderful reaction both in and out of the pool.

"It was a night we had really geared ourselves for, even before Libby broke the world record on night five," said Nine's swimming producer Lesley Tapsall.

"The signs were there in Barcelona and we had pencilled in nights five and six as nights to watch and the girls stood and delivered."

"It was very exciting and it provided us with perfect sports television—swimming provides that for us and it shows in the ratings—people just love the swimming."

Channel Nine's Head of Sport Gary Fenton and his team led by Tapsall, Heather McCann, Adam Harvey, expert cameraman Paul Boersma and commentators Ray Warren, Nicole Livingstone and Duncan Armstrong provided all the excitement that the Olympic Trials represented.

It has set the scene for what will be another exciting chapter in swimming's amazing media success story.

The stars of Sydney, Ian Thorpe, Grant Hackett and Michael Klim and Matt Welsh as well as the other personalities of the pool, Petria Thomas, Geoff Huegill and Giaan Rooney continue to provide Australian Swimming with a host of household names.

Throw in the next generation who are trained and groomed in the Fisher & Paykel Flippers program and have been seen in the Trans Tasman series and Oceania Championships and it adds up to an exciting time for the sport, the broadcasters and the marketers.

Such is the popularity of the Dolphins that four television news crews from Australia—Channels Ten, Nine, Seven and the ABC as well as the band of travelling swimming writers, including Michael Cowley (Sydney Morning Herald), Nicole Jeffery (The Australian) and Janelle Miles (AAP) with their respective photographers Gregg Porteous (News Ltd) and Craig Goulding (Sydney Morning Herald) joined the team in Sindelfingen for the Dolphins pre-Olympic training camp.

The image of Australian Swimming and the Australian Teams provide Australia and Australian sport with the kind of role models of which we should all be proud. The Australian media is to be thanked for the way they cover swimming and profile our swimmers—without doubt the leading Olympic sport and Australia's most popular sport, according to respected researchers Sweeney.

Before closing I would like to take this opportunity of thanking the team at Hanson Sports Media—namely my co-director Suzanne Hanson, Sydney Office Manager David Mason and Head Office employees Kurt Hanson, Kim Hamilton and Kate Robinson for their dedication to the sport and their efforts with maintaining the Australian Swimming website and the production of the popular e-Swimmer.

Ian HansonMedia Manager

Australian Swimming Inc (ASI) and Sports Marketing & Management have consolidated our strong relationships with our sponsors in this Olympic year in order to maximise exposure benefit for each of the partners' programs.

There has been a continued focus on the participation-based GO Swim program and significant work on ASI's future brand strategy in line with the Strategic Plan 2005–2009. The efforts of the new national brand approach will be launched this coming year. We are committed to working with the market on new grassroots opportunities where there is mutual benefit for young swimmers, sponsors and Australian Swimming.

The outlook for the next phase of sponsor development is very positive with Australia hosting the 2006 Commonwealth Games and the 2007 World Swimming Championships, which will ensure strong interest from the consumer and corporate market.

Telstra Corporation

Telstra's principal sponsorship of ASI has created a tremendous platform for the future success of the Dolphins Team and Squad and our high performance programs. The funding from the Telstra sponsorship provides the financial wherewithal to stage each of ASI's major events including:

● 2003 Telstra FINA World Cup ● 2004 Telstra Olympic Team Swimming Trials ● 2004 Telstra Grand Prix meets ● 2004 Telstra Australian Short Course Championships

The Telstra Olympic Team Swimming Trials was a fantastic display of world-class swimming for all Australian swim fans. The Trials are the hallmark event in ASI's calendar as evidenced by Channel Nine's extraordinary ratings—2 of the Top Ten shows across all networks in the week it aired.

The status of the Telstra Swimmer of the Year Awards has gone from strength to strength. Telstra's support in promoting the awards is greatly appreciated and saw over 800,000 SMS polling votes registered for the Telstra People's Choice Award—a phenomenal result.

Telstra support also ensures the ongoing development of the ASI website. The website had 12.2million hits for the week of the Trials which is 20% of ASI's total traffic for last year in only 8 days. Telstra also provides all of ASI's and State Associations telecommunications needs—keeping our swimming executives in touch every day.

Australian Swimming thanks Telstra's Ambassador David Thodey—Group Managing Director Business and Government, Michelle Scalzi and Tracey Capper for their commitment to the partnership. Swimming farewells Kari Lyall and welcomes Lisa Ronson the new Sponsorship Manager in Telstra's team.

Qantas

Australian Swimming and Qantas have a longstanding relationship, which provides support through airline travel for teams, coaches and the executive. A key part of the relationship has been the development of the innovative Qantas Skins event—unique to the world of swimming.

Last year's Qantas Skins was a standout success with over 6,000 fans in attendance. The highlight of the event was seeing Michael Phelps in the same competition as our own superstars, Grant Hackett and Ian Thorpe. Qantas proudly provide all of the international and domestic travel for our coaches and the competitors and the apparel, which sees our athletes decked out in quality gear for the evening. Swimming provides Qantas an excellent avenue for the airline to promote Frequent Flyer opportunities, in-flight offerings and on-line promotion of the Skins and other ASI events.

This year Qantas developed a new initiative—the Qantas Big Splash—which provides swimming clubs with the opportunity to run their own swimathon and raise funds for their club. ASI, Sports Marketing & Management and Qantas are planning closer integration of the initiative into the ASI network and the critical State Association/club relationship for next summer.

Australian Swimming's appreciation is extended to Steve Loader, General Manager, Sponsorship and Kylie Stewart, Sponsorship Executive for their great support of swimming.

Uncle Tobys

The Uncle Tobys brand is recognised as number one in Australia in terms of its association with sponsorship of sport. This is no doubt due to the fact that Uncle Tobys is building a growing relationship with Australian Swimming.

This year ASI and Uncle Tobys have taken the Uncle Tobys Go Swim program to the next level. Extensive consultation with the service providers, ASI, Sports Marketing & Management, Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association and Uncle Tobys marketing executives has occurred in an effort to further develop this program.

Uncle Tobys' commitment to the GO Swim grassroots program, with added support through the use of Uncle Tobys Ambassadors and provision of product, has been well received by participants, parents and service providers. Uncle Tobys has also linked to ASI's events to maximise promotional and sampling opportunities throughout the year.

ASI's appreciation goes to Andrew McIver, Managing Director, and Maigen Broose, Promotions Manager for their great support. ASI farewells Pernille Jensen and recognises her contribution to the partnership. We welcome Nick Stabback, Business Development Director to the swimming family and look forward to building a successful relationship.

Fisher & Paykel

Fisher & Paykel has cemented its place as part of the swimming family with the fantastic support for the Fisher & Paykel Flippers (National Youth Squad).

The performance standard of the Fisher & Paykel Flippers has improved markedly. This year, Melissa Mitchell, a member of the Fisher & Paykel Flippers, was selected in her first open team, the 2004 Australian Olympic Team to compete in Athens. A number of past Flippers squad members such as Travis Nederpelt, Nicholas Sprenger, Jessica Schipper and Eamon Sullivan were also named as part of the Olympic Team. Interest in the Flippers has grown with television stories featuring on the Totally Wild program and Sky News.

This year's Fisher & Paykel Australian Age Championships in April attracted over 1,300 participants. There were more national age records (12 Australian Age and 4 Australian Age All comers) broken than in any previous Age Championship—a sure sign that our future swimming talent is in good hands. The Fisher & Paykel Trans Tasman Series was held in Hobart, Melbourne and Canberra in June/July with the Flippers Australian Youth Squad taking on the New Zealand Youth Team.

The sponsorship provides for all Flippers apparel and contribution towards the cost of staging the Age Championships, Trans Tasman Series and State Age Camps.

Our thanks are extended to the team at Fisher & Paykel including Mike Church, General Manager Sales & Marketing and Tony Sweeney, National Marketing Manager.

Speedo

Swimming's longest partnership is with Speedo, which provides the world-class competition and training wear requirements for the Telstra Dolphins year-round. Speedo's level of technical expertise and support at our events ensures the Dolphins have the best swimwear at their disposal.

Australian Swimming thanks Rob Davies–Managing Director, Tim Lees–Marketing Director and Paul Byrne for their year-round support of ASI and the Teams.

Channel Nine

Channel Nine's coverage this year has been exceptional.

The Trials coverage in March/April delivered four of the top 20 rating shows in all programming for the week. It was extraordinary seeing five nights of live swimming coverage during the week in prime time viewing hours. Channel Nine's promotional support for the event gained enormous attention in all Australian capital cities. A cumulative audience of over 8.5M watched swimming during the week.

Australian Swimming thanks David Gyngell, CEO and Gary Fenton, Head of Sport for their support and the outstanding production efforts of Heather McCann-Price, Lesley Tapsall, Ken Sutcliffe, Ray Warren and Nicole Livingstone.

Fox Sports

Fox Sports programmed significant coverage of the Qantas Skins, Telstra World Cup and the 2004 Telstra Olympic Team Swimming Trials. Not only does Fox Sports provide live and delayed coverage but also a number of replays of each of the events. It is fantastic to see other international swimming coverage on Fox Sports of the Dolphins competing in the Mare Nostrum series from Europe and throughout the FINA World Cup Series. Ratings on Fox Sports for the Qantas Skins were up 35% from last year's event. Pay television is generating larger audience share of swimming enthusiasts.

Our appreciation goes to David Malone, CEO, Craig Dobbs, Head of Programming and the production efforts of Michael Neill, Duncan Armstrong and John Casey.

Sporte Leisure

As the Official Supplier of Deck Apparel for Telstra Dolphins and Fisher & Paykel Flippers, Sporte Leisure sold event specific and Dolphins merchandise at key ASI events, including 2003 Qantas Skins and 2004 Telstra Olympic Team Swimming Trials.

The Team has never looked better in their contemporary kit.

Thanks go to Bianca Nelson and Jo Graham at Sporte Leisure for all their efforts.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 (ACT).

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Association in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

a. Income TaxThe Association is a not for profit organisation and therefore is exempt for income tax from monies earned during the year.

b. InventoriesInventories consist of various publications and videos and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

c. Property, plant and equipment

Cost and valuationEach class of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.

DepreciationDepreciation is provided on a diminishing value basis on all property, plant and equipment, with the exception of buildings and software which are depreciated on a straight-line basis.

Major depreciation periods are:

Buildings 40 years

Furniture and fittings 10 - 25 years

Computer and electronic equipment 3 years

Multimedia/Tech equipment 3 - 5 years

Software 2 - 3 years

d. Operating leasesThe minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis. Contingent rentals are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred.

e. InvestmentsNon-current investments are measured at cost basis.

The carrying amount of investments is reviewed annually to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount.

f. Employee benefitsProvisions is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave.

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

Employee benefit expenses and revenues arising in respect of the following categories:

● Wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave; and● Other types of employee benefits

are recognized against surplus on a net basis in their respective categories.

g. Cash and cash equivalentsCash on hand and in banks and short-term deposits are stated at nominal value.

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand, at banks and on deposit readily convertible to cash within 2 working days.

h. RevenueRevenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured.

More specifically, sale of tickets, sponsorships and grants are recognised when the Association has established that it has a right to receive that money.

Interest revenue is recognised when the Association has the control of the right to receive the interest payment.

i. Changes in Accounting Policy

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year except for the followings:

Membership affiliation revenue is recognized in the year in which the membership is due and receivable. In previous years the membership revenue has been recognized in the following year to which the membership applies and when invoiced. As a result of this change, two years of membership revenue has been recognized in 2003-04, being $495,612 for the 02–03-membership year and $412,438 for the 2003–04-membership year.

j. Comparatives

Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

b. Credit RiskThe maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

The Association does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Association. The Association does however have a material risk if the Australian Sports Commission was to stop funding due to the level of grants they supply for the running of the Association.

c. Net Fair ValuesAll financial assets and liabilities have been recognized at the balance date at their net fair values

NOTE 21: ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Association has commenced transitioning its accounting policies and financial reporting from current Australian Standards to Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Association has allocated internal resources to identify and conduct impact assessments to isolate key areas that will be impacted by the transition to IFRS. As the Association has a 30 June year-end, consideration will also be given to the preparation of an opening balance sheet in accordance with AASB equivalents to IFRS at 1 July 2004. This will form the basis of accounting for Australian equivalents of IFRS in the future, and is required when the Association prepares its first fully IFRS compliant financial report for the year ending 30 June 2006.

Based on the preliminary assessment, the Association expects no key differences in accounting policies to arise from the adoption of IFRS.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OFAUSTRALIAN SWIMMING INC.

Independent Audit Report

To the membersAustralian Swimming Incorporated

Matters relating to the Electronic Presentation of the Audited Financial Report

The audit report related to the financial report of Australian Swimming Incorporated for the year ended 30 June 2004 included on the Association’s web site. The Association’s directors are responsible for the integrity of the Association’s web site. The audit report refers only to the statements named below. It does not provide an opinion on any other information, which may have been hyperlinked to/from these statements. If users of this report are concerned with the inherent risks arising from electronic data communications, they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the audited financial report to confirm the information included in the audited financial report presented on this web site.

Scope

The financial report and the directors’ responsibility

The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the Board report for Australian Swimming Incorporated (the Association), for the year ended 30 June 2004.

The Association’s directors are responsible for preparing a financial report that gives a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Association, and that complies with accounting Standards in Australia, in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 (ACT) and the Association’s constitution. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the Association. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to asses whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Associations Incorporations Act 1991 (ACT), including compliance with Accounting Standards in Australia, other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Association’s constitution, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Association’s financial position, and of its performance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

● Examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and

● Assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management.

While we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

We performed procedures to assess whether the substance of business transactions was accurately reflected in the financial report. These and our other procedures did not include consideration or judgement of the appropriateness or reasonableness of the business plans or strategies adopted by management of the Association.

Independence

We are independent of the Association, and have met the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements.

Audit Opinion

In our opinion, the financial report of Australian Swimming Incorporated is in accordance with:

(a) the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 (ACT) including:

(i) giving a true and fair view of the financial position of Australian Swimming Incorporated at 30 June 2004 and its performance for the year ended on that date; and(ii) complying with Accounting Standards in Australia; and

(b) other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.
