16.01.2022 Congratulations to our 2019/20 club swimmers, we are proud to announce our awardees from last season. Unfortunately, due to COVID and the new world we live in our annual club presentation celebration was not doable this year. We look forward to watching and cheering on each and every one of our swimmers as they reach for their personal goals and PBs throughout the 20/21 season.... Bring on the fun club nights, some fast racing and that Acacia team spirit we all love. Go Acacia! The TEAM behind the TEAM.

16.01.2022 Technique is noticed most markedly in the case of those who have not mastered it. (Leon Trotsky) Our coaches believe in the importance of instilling technical excellence in our swimmers from a young age. Watching videos of their stroke & technique with the coach gives a visual insight into weaknesses, areas for improvement, & allows them to see what they swim like. @samuelsharp #techniqueovereverything #swimming #startingthemyoung #coachsharpie #theateam #clubgoals #visualawareness

16.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day to the dads, granddads, and male mentors in our club.

03.01.2022 Brisbane Relays: wow what a day!! 45 teams competed today across numerous events, and our cheering certainly raised the roof Thanks must go to our fantastic coaches who have worked tirelessly with the swimmers, proving hard work really does pay off. Thank you team managers for keeping the children in check, & timekeepers for stepping up and volunteering. Well done to every single swimmer, you did the whole club proud today. Special mention must go to our teams who placed ...in the top 10 in Brisbane (Girls 12/u, Girls 14/u & Girls 16/u freestyle; Girls 12/u, Girls 14/u & Girls 16/u medley; Boys 9-10 freestyle) and a big to our 16 year old boys who medaled in both events. Keep working hard, having fun and believing. @samuelsharp @micklewandowski @jjsinclair @swimsharp #theateam #theteambehindtheteam #clubgoals #swimming #brisbaneswimming #bsa #bsarelays #supportcrewonpoint See more
