The coaching and day-to-day management is taken care of by the Academy, so swimmers and families can simply focus on enjoying the experience. All Academy of Swimming members are welcome to join M1 Swimming Club. As a club affiliated with both Swimming Victoria and Swimming Australia, members have the opportunity to compete at local and national levels.

Why join the M1 Swimming Club?
Competition is where training comes to life. Just like basketball, netball, or AFL you wouldn’t train every week and never play a game. Competing gives our coaches clear insight into each swimmer’s development, and the kids genuinely love the experience. That said, if your focus is purely on training and development, joining the club is not required.

Members enjoy the following benefits:

• Compete in Swimming Victoria approved swim meets (club membership is required to enter)
• Be part of a team and train with a goal in mind
• Junior swimmers can work toward Blue, Bronze, Silver, or Gold standards in Swimming Australia’s Junior Excellence program
• Invited to participate in swim meets each term
• Access to three Masterclass sessions per term
• Option to book 1:1 private coaching with founder Rodney Skudar
• Welcome to attend Wednesday morning high performance training sessions at CMSP

Who can join?
Any current members of the Academy are welcome to join the M1 Swimming Club

When should I join?
The season begins in July each year, so that’s the ideal time to sign up; though you’re welcome to join at any point during the year.

What’s the time commitment?
Competitive members typically attend 1 – 2 swim meets per term. Most meets run for approx. 4 hours

What are the costs?

• Annual club membership fee — see the M1 Swimming Club website for details
• Meet entry fees — charged per event entered
• Club uniform
• Academy competitive swimmer fee, an annual family fee of $200 for the 2026/27 season, which covers qualified coaches on pool deck at selected meets throughout the year. This is automatically charged on your next direct debit after you have joined the M1 Swimming Club, with a reminder sent via email beforehand.
