Ready to have a go at racing? The M1 Gala is back for this term, bringing a fun, low pressure swimming afternoon where kids can build confidence, practice their skills and experience the excitement of racing in a supportive environment.

Our message to every swimmer is simple:
“Everyone should have a go! Remember, it’s not about finishing first. It’s about diving in, having a go and celebrating your own milestones.”

Whether it’s your first ever race or you’re already comfortable behind the blocks, this competition is all about giving it a go, having fun and seeing what you can achieve.

Swimmers learn how race day works, from getting behind the blocks and following race procedures to experiencing the atmosphere of a real swim meet, all in a supportive environment surrounded by Academy teammates.

No pressure.
No expectations.
Just an opportunity to race, learn and have fun.

Bring the family, have some fun and get ready to race!
