Three Swimmers, one goal to compete at the Australian Trials.

This week, Xav, Jack and Kai took the plunge into something much bigger than just a race — it was their first Australian Swimming Trials, standing on the blocks beside the best in the country that included Olympians, World Champions and also their heroes.

The nerves they felt and pressure they placed on themselves was real, but they didn't back down.

They showed up.

They raced hard.

They learnt more in a few days than they ever thought possible.

This wasn’t just about chasing podiums — it was about chasing growth, courage, and experience. They all walked in as qualifiers and left as stronger athletes and even stronger people.

Congratulations to Xav, Jack and Kai — we are incredibly proud of you. You didn’t just race at Trials, you showed you belonged there.

Remember it’s is only the beginning.

From Country Roots to the National Stage – Farewell Ethan!

Three years ago, Ethan took a courageous leap—leaving behind the comfort of home, family, and friends to chase a dream at our club.

With determination in his heart, he initially switched from Breaststroke to Butterfly, but after a season of tough lessons, he returned to his true strength—Breaststroke. That’s when everything clicked.

Ethan didn’t just qualify for his first National Championship—he made the finals. Since then, he's soared to new heights, earning qualifying times for Nationals, Olympic and World Championship Trials, finally making the finals in the 50, 100, and 200m Breaststroke events at the recent 2025 Australian Swimming Championships.

Now, as he looks to complete his university studies, Ethan is relocating to NSW.

While we’re sad to see him go, we couldn’t be prouder of all he’s achieved.

Ethan, thank you for the inspiration, the hard work, and the memories.

Wishing you every success in the next chapter—both in and out of the pool!

2025 Australian Open Swimming Championships – Final Wrap-Up

What a week it’s been in Brisbane at the 2025 Australian Open Swimming Championships!

A huge congratulations to all our National Open qualifiers – Ethan, Dylan, Jordan, Jack, Talia, and Kai – for representing Westside with determination, resilience, and enthusiasm.

A special shout-out to Jack who experienced his first-ever Nationals – a major milestone and hopefully the first of many more to come!

Throughout the four days of competition, our swimmers delivered impressive performances, personal bests, and secured spots in highly competitive finals.

Highlights from the Championships:

Top Ten Age Finalists:

Talia – in the Women’s 200 IM and 100 Breaststroke

Jordan – in the Men’s 1500 Freestyle.

B Finalists:

Ethan – in the Men’s 50, 100 and 200 Breaststroke.

Kai - in the Men’s 50 Freestyle.

Talia - in the Women’s 200 Backstroke.

Personal Bests:

Jordan – A huge PB of 7.51 sec in the 1500 FS and another 4.41 sec off in the 800 FS

Ethan - A new PB of 1:05.27 in the Men’s 100 Breaststroke

Kai – A new PB of 23.39 in the Men’s 50 Freestyle

From exciting debuts to career-best swims and top ten finishes, our team should be incredibly proud of their achievements.

For some it’s the opportunity to have a break for others its back to training for six weeks until the Australian Trials.

Well done, team!

Anzac Day

Lest we Forget

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning.

We will remember them.
