Program & Timeline: click here. We highly recommend printing the program at home and reviewing the events with your child before arriving. A handy tip: write the stroke, event number, heat, and lane on your child’s arm.

Academy Coaches at the Gala:
Our coaching team—Amitha, Grace, Sam, Tom, and myself will be there to support you and your child every step of the way. If you have any questions during the event, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Arrival Time & Warm-Up:
Please ensure swimmers arrive by 4:40pm for a 5:00pm warm-up. This gives us enough time to get your child organised and allow for a few practice race dives before the meet begins.

Results
The Results will be available live on Saturday. They will also be shared via email and published on our website by Tuesday afternoon.

Looking forward to a fantastic evening of racing!

Bring the whole family along and cheer as your child develops their racing skills in a fun, encouraging environment. This event is open to all current Academy swimmers, no matter their level. The Gala is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of progress, teamwork, and the effort our swimmers put in every week. With official timing, adjudication, and a vibrant atmosphere, swimmers will gain valuable experience and enjoy the thrill of a professional-style meet.

Every swimmer benefits from racing—it’s where growth happens. Our coaching team will be poolside offering support, feedback, and encouragement throughout the evening.

Let’s come together and make it a night to remember!
