21.01.2022 JOHN SALIBA MSW OPEN WATER CHAMPIONSHIPS. A real full day of competition, with some very variable weather conditions, but no rain. Some smoke, then wind, then sun, no smog, more wind.....oh well that is open water. Competitors were subject to many conditions but battled on and achieved great results. CONGRATULATIONS to ALL PARTICIPANTS- BE PROUD OF YOUR EFFORTS.... The technical crew and all helpers in kayaks and in boats, as drivers, were excellent...their work second to none. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL AND PARENTS FOR THE VOLUNTEERING. See you all next year! See more

20.01.2022 Good Morning Everyone I trust you have had an enjoyable and relaxing Christmas break. The Management Committee of Swimming Metro South West has made a majority vote decision the cancel the meet on 3 January 2021. ... This was not an easy decision for the Area to make as we are very aware of how many swimmers this will affect. Current COVID-19 locations that require people to be tested have increased. The Area can't guarantee a COVID safe event and as per the Premier's advice it is better not to proceed. I will be contacting Swimming Australia to request a bulk refund to be issued to all competitors. I may not receive a response until the offices of Swimming NSW and Swimming Australia re-open on 04/01/2021. In the meantime, if you wish to request a refund earlier please follow the steps from my previous email for requesting a refund through Swim Central. If your entries were done manually, I will need you to supply me your bank details as well as the amount and date you made your payment. The treasurer will refund your money as quickly as possible.

20.01.2022 The program for the 2020 MSW (Senior) Long Course Championships is now available on our website. This meet will be ticketed via Swim Central. There are limited spaces available due to current COVID-19 restrictions. In the best interest of the swimmers please consider a 1 spectator per family. (Maybe even consider a "drop off" policy for the older swimmers to allow more to compete)... ALL entries must be accepted online. There can be NO requests to add additional swimmers manually. Once the capacity has been reached the meet will close. The Area is postponing the open date for entries until 19/10/20 as Swimming NSW is in current discussions with NSW Health and SOPA to lift the 500 maximum capacity. We hope to have news that will allow us to remove our current restrictions. https://metroswnsw.swimming.org.au//2020%20msw%20long%20co

15.01.2022 DEVELOPMENT NEWS. On Saturday 11 January 2020 about 35 swimmers made their way to the Wanda Surf Life Saving Club, for SMSW National A Development Camp in readiness for National Championships on Australia Day Weekend. This is the second Open water camp held by SMSW for the Area's OW National Qualifiers. As the previous days were so hot and clear, one would have expected the same on Saturday, but the unforgiving (and welcomed) southerly buster put an end to the expectations.... The Development Team organized Nutritionist Chloe, Fina Referee and Fina OW Committee Member Bill Ford, and up and coming Iron Lady Brittney to give their professional advice on all things food, rules and psychology of being an athlete to our National OW Swimmers. Although it was a dry camp as the beaches were closed, I am sure everyone attending enjoyed the presentations, the snacks and lunch, and the social interaction. Great Thanks to our attending coaches Blake , Zack and Alex. Well Done Gail, Shawn and Judith. See you all in 2021! See more

14.01.2022 Cancellation - 2020 MSW Long Course Sprint Meet. On advice from Swimming NSW the Area (MSW) has made the decision to cancel the 2020 MSW Long Course Sprint Meet on 21/03/2020 to be held at Blacktown Aquatic Centre.

A request has been issued to Swimming NSW to have refunds re-issued to the nominated credit/debit card. Please allow at least 10 business days for this transaction to appear in your account. MSW will also not be hosting the Winter Sprint Series in May 2020. Our next scheduled event will be the 2020 MSW Short Course Championships to be held at SOPAC on 13/14 June 2020. The 2020 Annual Presentation will still be on Saturday 16/05/2020 at St Johns Park Bowling Club as the number of attendees will be below the suggested limit.

11.01.2022 Good afternoon SMSW supporters, Thank you to all swimmers today for great competition at John Saliba Open Water Championships. The Area is trying to move a container within SIRC Penrith, as the current location is cumbersome. The Area was wondering if there was any parents who were able to assist, via their own crane company or a representative of a crane company to help with the move. The thought has been given of u...sing an 8 to 12 tonne Franna crane and walk the container to the new position, about 100 to 150 m away from current position. If anyone is interested could they please contact Leonardo Repeti or Brian Hosford via Area Facebook. Costs will be met. Thank you for your cooperation SMSW Open Water See more
