3 FOREWORD FROM THE MINISTER FOR SPORT Minister for Sport s Message I would like to commend on an exceptional year in and out of the pool. It is pleasing to see that the sport continues to strive for sustained international success while building solid foundations for the future. The latest Participation in Exercise, Recreation and Sport Survey showed swimming was one of the top participation activities in last year, with 2.3 million people swimming nation-wide. In -11 the n Government invested an additional $900,000 in the sport to encourage grassroots participation, supporting a more active lifestyle among young people, while also helping to identify the next generation of n swimmers. has also enjoyed outstanding results at the elite level. The Government committed almost $11 million to continue to support our high performance athletes and teams. This includes $1.5 million invested in the n Institute of Sport (AIS) swimming program, providing a world class training environment for a number of s most promising athletes. At the Delhi Commonwealth Games, Alicia Coutts emerged as the new golden girl of n swimming winning five gold medals. The comeback king Geoff Huegill clocked the best time of his life in the 100m butterfly final, proving at age 31 he s still got it. Paralympic star Matthew Cowdrey cruised to victory in a world record time of seconds in the 50m freestyle event, and of course who could forget the men s 4x100m freestyle relay team wrestling back the Commonwealth Games title. On top of recent success, the future looks very bright. The outstanding results of our up-and-coming athletes in James Magnussen, James Roberts and Ben Treffers is proof that our talent pool is deep and that the n swimming system provides a pathway to success. received $1 million as part of the n Government s Green and Gold project, targeted funding to the nation s best teams and athletes. This is helping to enhance the preparation and daily training environment of our nation s top swimmers. I am convinced our n Swim Team will continue to spearhead s international success as we look ahead to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond. The future of s swimming success is in good hands, and the government looks forward to continuing to strengthen the partnership for the betterment of n sport. PRESIDENT S REPORT With the London 2012 Olympic Games just around the corner, 11 was a building year for. The Delhi Commonwealth Games tested our athletes, coaches and support staff to their limits, with focus, determination and grit that saw walk away with a meet-high 54 medals. A new queen of n swimming was crowned in Delhi, with Alicia Coutts winning an amazing five gold medals, while Geoff Huegill s victory in the 100m butterfly capped off an emotional return for one of the sport s true heroes. Paralympic star Matthew Cowdrey also brought the Delhi crowd to its feet when he broke the only world record for the meet in the men s 50m freestyle S9. At the Pan Pacs in August, Emily Seebohm led the n team under the Californian sun, snaring two gold medals, and was unstoppable on the subcontinent, winning eight medals during the six days of competition. The past 12 months also saw some familiar faces again don the goggles to reignite their love affair with the black line. s most successful Olympian, Ian Thorpe, three-time Olympic gold medallist, Libby Trickett, and Sydney Olympics star, Michael Klim will join Geoff Huegill on the comeback trail to London. All swimming supporters will be watching with bated breath as these swimming legends attempt to join new young guns, such as James Magnussen and Yolane Kukla, in the battle for Olympic selection. From a performance standpoint the n Swim Team, astutely led by Leigh Nugent and a legion of worldclass coaches and support staff, is primed to continue its long legacy of Olympic success in Out of the water the sport has undertaken a governance review and is currently working through the findings of that report. A new strategic plan is on the horizon and a renewed outlook for the sport is being developed. The Board saw some changes, with the departure of Olympian Chris Fydler and the arrival of Bruce Sullivan. A new venue arrived on the swimming landscape with the opening of the South n Aquatic and Leisure Centre in Adelaide, which held its first major event, the n Age Championships, in April. This event was an overwhelming success and is very excited to see the addition of another quality venue, certainly a positive way to progress the sport. The Board has worked determinedly during the governance review, which will be continuing throughout the next year, to engage all of its stakeholders to find the best working model for and its extended swimming community into the future. is acutely aware that if it is not prepared to allow for change and encourage new ways of thinking, it will be left behind, and with the London Games hurtling towards us, this is no time to be floundering. I would like to thank the stakeholder Presidents and Executive Directors. The valuable support they provide to the national body, partnered with the expert guidance of the respective states, continues to push swimming to the forefront of n sport. The hard work of s Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Neil, and the staff is incomparable, and I thank them for all their dedication and commitment over the past 12 months.

4 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER S REPORT It has been a turbulent and successful year for and a time for consolidation within the sport. The organisation has had highs and lows, and in the face of adversity we model our behaviour on our swimmers, and keep plugging away. With several key changes within the organisation in regard to staffing, sponsorship levels and aquatic strategy, including pool space, we have refocused our attention on what we want to deliver well beyond the next 12 months. With the departure of our principal sponsor in May, has worked tirelessly to keep the organisation on track and in a strong position. The increased levels of n Government grants have sustained existing programs, and also allowed for the development of new and exciting initiatives for the sport in the areas of indigenous and Paralympic performance. A new Indigenous Program is well into its planning phase, forming part of the Community Sport Plan. The program, headed up by 1964 Olympian Peter Tonkin, will be designed to provide greater opportunities for indigenous participation throughout. Another major new initiative was the creation of a second Paralympic high performance training centre run in conjunction with the University of the Sunshine Coast. This program will provide increased opportunites for athletes with disability, particularly in the lead-up to London. The declining levels of pool space and access is a nationally identified critical area of concern across all levels of the sport, so has employed a new General Manager Aquatic Strategy, Graeme Stephenson, to assist the sport in securing not only more space in pools, but also to raise the awareness of pool space requirements for competitive swimming. Potential for change in the organisation was warmly welcomed by the Board, which saw a number of changes occur throughout the year. Chris Fydler completed his term as Director and welcomed a new face, Bruce Sullivan from the n Coaches and Teachers Association. The Board has proven to be a strong supporter of the office and I thank them for that support, and their leadership and focus over the last year. as an organisation continues to grow and refine its role and strengthen relationships with stakeholders. Even with the inevitable change of staff, the organisation remains focused on its goals and supporting all facets of swimming in. Commercial and Communications Sponsorship and Broadcasting With undertaking a structural review in 11 there were changes to the Commercial and Communications unit, with Rachael Roberts assuming the role of Chief Operating Officer. welcomed new staff member Katherine Ginbey, who hails from WA, and also the return of Beth Rider. Katherine and Beth work together to service events, marketing and sponsors. Additionally Jessica Gilbert joined the sponsorship area, and Ted Chatain took up the position of graphic designer. Lachlan Searle and Dean Norbiato continued to provide Media and PR support, and the events staff of Liz Avery, Caitlin Walsh and Ben Carter, now led by Katherine Ginbey, enjoyed the challenges of new events and venues. Media The search for eyeballs, ratings, advertising dollars and exclusive stories has made the media more insatiable and competitive than ever for regular quality content. Facebook, Twitter, 24-hour news networks, ipads, online papers, magazines, digital radio, and seemingly any story on demand the way people consume their media continues to evolve, and when it comes to promoting swimming we must do the same. The competition in the market, and the speed at which news travels, means the media landscape is a very different beast to what it was ten years ago or even ten months ago, and comparing coverage now to then is like comparing breaststrokers with backstrokers. With social media we have the opportunity to tell our stories direct to those who are most interested, and we need to evolve in this area. Online, both internally at org.au and with our broadcast partner Network Ten, we need to provide fast, accurate and entertaining content, and we are working hard to achieve this. With the more traditional forms of media print, radio and television our credibility, relationships and profile are still strong, especially leading into major events. Yet this position cannot be taken for granted as we look to evolve in other areas. The n sports media play a vital role in telling our story and promoting our sport. The support of the n media this year has seen swimming maintain its place as the highest profile Olympic sport in the country, and regularly compete with cricket, AFL, NRL, rugby and soccer for national coverage across all mediums, but we have to work for this. When it comes to stories, the swimsuits were our number one issue back in 2009 and dominated every media interview, conference and news report. Despite the gold-medal winning performances of Melissa Gorman, Jessicah Schipper, Brenton Rickard and Marieke Guehrer, the reporting around the FINA World Championships in Rome was heavily influenced by the swimsuit debate and, athletic success took a back seat. The value of world records in the media and also within the swimming family depreciated considerably, and FINA s decision to return to stricter, more-sensible suit guidelines for and beyond heralded a considerable change for the sport. Where the media and public had once coveted n and world records, such highlights had become too frequent, wiping names such as Ian Thorpe, Alexander Popov and Janet Evans from the history books in the process. Those records have dried up considerably, but in doing so credibility has been restored. New faces have started their journey towards becoming household names, and new suits have restored credibility to their achievements in the pool. Working with the n media and new social media platforms, we will look to develop the profile of the sport from what is already a strong foundation. would like to thank the n media, and in particular Network Ten and ONE, for their support in helping to promote the sport of swimming, and we look forward to more great stories and memorable racing in the years ahead.

Telstra n Championships Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre, Sydney, NSW Friday 1 April Friday 8 April With the glory of the Commonwealth Games over, athletes were out to prove they had what it takes to be selected as an n Swim Team member for the FINA World Championships.

With a return to the pool for Stephanie Rice following shoulder surgery in October, the heat was on for s newest golden girl Alicia Coutts to prove she was not just a one-hit wonder in Delhi. The men s field saw a battle of epic proportions in the 100-metre freestyle as youngsters James Magnussen and James Roberts reigned supreme, with Magnussen posting the fastest 100-metre freestyle time in the world for.

Thank you to all staff, volunteers, technical officials, athletes, coaches, support staff, sponsors, contractors, venues and supporters for making 11 a very successful year of events. High Performance Unit The past year has been another significant one for the High Performance unit, with a number of changes in personnel and some impressive performances in the pool. In November, Vince Raleigh was appointed as the National Youth Coach, filling the position vacated when Leigh Nugent stepped up to the National Head Coach position earlier in the year. Wayne Lomas was employed as the High Performance Manager QLD, working closely with the Queensland Academy of Sport and Queensland-based coaches to ensure their programs were effectively supported. In January, Erin Kelsey resigned after three years with, and Dane O Donnell started as the new High Performance Operations Coordinator. David Crocker s resignation as the General Manager of the High Performance unit in March resulted in a minor restructure of the department, his role being split between Leigh Nugent, Gary Vandeburgt (who stepped up to be the High Performance Operations Manager), and Wayne Lomas, whose role become more nationally focused. A High Performance Business Coordinator position was created and was filled by Brad Croker, who started in May. In the pool it was a very busy year, with the n Swim Team training and competing across 13 countries in five major international competitions, with another six international tours and several training camps held 10 Annual Report

Melissa Gorman secured a bronze medal in controversial circumstances in the women s 10-kilometre event.

With the London Olympic Games only one year away, the High Performance unit will be working hard on providing the support and foundation for a successful Olympic and Paralympic campaign. Community Sport 11 was a very productive year in Community Sport, with the introduction of some great new initiatives and national programs as well as record participation in recurring programs. During the reporting period, the Community Sport unit continued to work with all stakeholders and members to broaden the appeal and strengthen the sport of swimming. The Community Sport unit reinforced s relationships with key industry groups such as the n Sports Commission and the n Coaches and Teachers Association and its subsidiary Swim, as well as with AUSTSWIM and the Water Safety Council. n Unity GO CLUB, the national club development program, continued to improve. The program included 348 clubs, and worked to build awareness of the importance of club structures and to assist clubs in providing a solid supportive environment for all members. Twenty-two clubs attained the gold-level standard, with four clubs reaching a newly developed platinum level. The Club Assistance Fund provided much-needed equipment to clubs nationwide. The program awarded more than $ worth of equipment to swimming clubs across. The n Unity GO CLUB administration resources were utilised in forums to educate swimming clubs and club personnel to improve performance and management structures, providing a better environment for all members. More than 40 n Unity GO CLUB forums and 30 n Unity GO CLUB Come and Try events were conducted and have assisted in promoting the sport of swimming and attracting new members. All new members under 12 years of age receive a welcome kit when they join a club. Almost GO Swim new member kits were distributed by state associations over the last 12 months. The n Sports Commission provided some great resources and support to assist community sport programs. The addition of participation funding has allowed a refined approach and increased focus on membership and participation in our sport. The Community Sport unit coordinated the Junior Excellence program in its fourth year of operation. This program gives swimmers aged 9 13 years times and goals to strive for and the ability to compare their performances on a national scale without leaving their district., in conjunction with state and territory swimming associations, was proud to nationally recognise more than Junior Excellence awardees in 11. In its second year of operation the Youth Performance Squad recognised over 2000 swimmers aged years for their performances. The Youth Performance Squad program takes over where Junior Excellence finishes, and provides a focus on taking the next step towards high performance swimming. Congratulations to all swimmers who qualified for these programs. An officiating scholarship was provided to Faye Lewis from New South Wales. Faye has excelled in this program under mentors Jann Fathers and John Keppie. The Community Sport unit worked with the Technical Management Advisory Committee and various state representatives to further develop the National Officiating Program, which began in May 2007., with assistance from the n Sports Commission and state associations, provided an officiating workshop to a number of developing officials and mentors in conjunction with the State Teams Short Course event in Canberra. The Community Sport unit sincerely thanks all state and territory swimming associations for their cooperation and assistance in working on all community initiatives and contributing to a nationally consistent and well-serviced sport. n Government has continued to build a robust working relationship with the n Government. The firm commitment from the n Government for swimming at all levels has enabled continued growth in new areas for and its stakeholders. The renewed support of participation sport will ensure swimming is well represented into the future. The relationship with the n Sports Commission and n Institute of Sport in particular has enabled to both strengthen and cultivate programs. The n Sports Commission s support of new initiatives and its commitment to strengthening the sport of swimming has been admirable and we thank the Commission for its guidance and continued support in all areas of the sport, from participation to high performance. Through the support of the n Institute of Sport, has been able to expand opportunities for both elite swimmers with disability and able-bodied swimmers. 12 Annual Report

8 Conclusion Looking onwards and upwards to London, under the guidance and leadership of Leah Nugent, the n Swim Team is well placed to achieve great things. While every year throws new challenges our way, I believe the increased support of many new programs ensures is well placed to handle these and come out the other side stronger and more resilient than ever. The members of the Board, led by President David Urquhart, should be recognised for their diligence and dedication to improving the sport at all levels. Through the lengthy governance review process, the determination and persistence of the Board to remain on track and continue to strive for the best governance model should be commended. will continue in its endeavours to ensure that is the best swimming nation in the world, and also to create a sport for all. For this, acknowledgment must go to all athletes, coaches, volunteers, supporters and, specifically, the staff who are a pleasure to work with every day. Kevin Neil Chief Executive Officer From The Stakeholders n Coaches and Teachers Association In our 40th year, I would like to acknowledge all n Coaches and Teachers Association (ASCTA) presidents and their Boards who have created a world renowned culture of excellence in coaching. The vision of our forebears has given today s coaches credibility and high standing within the swimming industry and continues to be part of cutting-edge methods of prescription. The significant contribution of funds for coach development at both domestic and international level, the recognition of teachers of swimming and water safety as an integral part of making children safer, the development of the sport and the industry as a whole, the transparency of coach selection, and the culture of making a difference in the lives of young people are only a few of the legacies of our association that continue today. In 11 ASCTA continued to consolidate on past successes, contributed further to sport and industry, and was committed to excellence in teacher and coach education. A restructure of our organisation brought all of our administration to Queensland from Melbourne. We have already seen both logistical and economical windfalls which will enable ASCTA to consistently devote resources to teacher and coach education programs nationally. We recognise that both our ASCTA branches and state swimming associations are at the coalface in swimming development. It is this partnership that continues to produce future champions and develop progressive initiatives to grow the sport. Our ever-strengthening relationship with serves as a great partnership in ensuring that our shared vision of to become s leading sport through increased participation, continued outstanding performance and commercial excellence is broadcast nationwide. ASCTA members have earned their place in 13 n swim teams and national swim squads over the past year, taking up almost 75 coaching positions. Swim, ASCTA s learn-to-swim brand, has continued to grow its Registered Swim School program. Now there are four registered courses to its credit and increasing professional development workshop opportunities for teachers and coaches. ASCTA s annual convention remains one of the largest swimming industry events in the world, with over 700 registrants each year experiencing knowledge and mentoring from internationally renowned sport and business educators. We wish to express our appreciation to our Board members who have given their time and valued contributions to ASCTA over this past year. Finally, I wish to thank our Chief Executive Officer Ross Gage for his work ethic and his commitment to our sport and industry. Ron McKeon President VALE During 11 and its stakeholders lost members who have all made valuable contributions to the sport of swimming. Particular mentions go to Life Member Jack Howson OBE and distance swimmer Trudy Housman. extends its sympathy to all swimming families and friends of those who passed away in the past 12 months. 14 Annual Report

9 n Swimmers Association The past financial year has been both a challenging and exciting time for the n Swimmers Association (ASA). A total of approximately $1.5 million dollars was paid to the top 86 swimmers in the nation which, for the first time, included athletes from the n Paralympic Committee team. This amount results from the collective bargaining agreement negotiated between ASA and, which allows the elite swimmers of to continue their professionalism in what is considered an amateur, or at best a semi-professional, sport. ASA and our members would like to thank for its continued support and understanding of the requirements and needs of elite swimmers. The funding makes a huge impact on swimmers quality of life and ability to train, travel and compete at the highest level. The challenging aspect of 11 came from necessary structural and policy changes. After two years in the job of ASA General Manager, Robyn Danzey decided to move on. ASA thanks Robyn for her great service and wishes her all the best for the future. Along with Robyn s departure, President Andrew Mewing notified the association that he would not be be renominating for the executive. These departures prompted ASA to review its structure, and at the annual general meeting (AGM) unanimous support from the members allowed the employment of an executive chairperson along with changing the job description of the general manager. The AGM also had ASA s first large-scale election, with twice as many nominations as positions available. The association was excited to welcome Daniel Kowalski to the role of General Manager. His passion for the sport is undeniable and he has been outstanding in his first six months in the role. The new Executive Chairman is Brendan Schwab who, as the current CEO of Professional Footballers, has extensive experience working with players associations and sports. The voting at the AGM resulted in Marieke Guerher, Sophie Edington, David Browne, Patrick Murphy and Alice Mills being elected to the executive. Lisbeth Trickett was then elected to the role of Vice-President. The association and our members would like to thank Andrew Mewing, Josh Santacaterina and Jessicah Schipper for their long service. Their knowledge and passion will be sorely missed and we wish them luck in their future endeavours. Brenton Rickard President New South Wales The last three years have had a significant effect on the sport of swimming in New South Wales, and the focus in 11 was on capitalising on these changes to ensure the continued improvement of our sport. The Board and staff are well aware of the importance of continually evolving our administration to suit the modern day needs of our membership, and during 11 we aimed to achieve this through increased and improved service to members. There is a trend towards decreased participation levels in other sports, and this is a constant reminder that we must remain diligent in this area. Accordingly, the key focus of 11 was the recognition of the importance of stakeholder engagement when making significant decisions about our sport, and we were able to demonstrate this through the consultative approaches we adopted. We increased our staff presence across New South Wales and ensured these staff were willing to engage with members to assist the organisation in heading in the right direction. The face-to-face contact, sharing of ideas and working together to find solutions have proved invaluable and will hold us in good stead for the coming years. In 11 we reviewed our Competition Strategy Policy, consulting extensively with our stakeholders to ensure that the policy provides positive outcomes for competition at all levels of our sport. A review of the Development Structure Policy is also underway, and we expect that this will have similar outcomes for our development programs. It was also pleasing for New South Wales to see an increase in the number of NSW-based athletes being selected onto n swim teams and national youth squads. The past year also brought the area rationalisation process to an end, and while this was a difficult time for some members, it was a process that was essential for the longevity of our sport. We can now use our new area structure as a stepping stone for continued improvement. There are 12 areas within New South Wales, down from the original 23, and most importantly the completion of this process has coincided with the continued employment of our regional development officers. We now have a total of seven staff in the area of sport development, including regional development officers for Coast and Valley, Mountains and Plains, New England and North West, North Coast, South Eastern, Southern Inland and Western. We also have the metropolitan development officer who oversees the metropolitan areas. At the end of 11, New South Wales had financial members, which represents an increase of 188 or 0.5 per cent on the figure. While this increase is small, it is an important change in the membership trend that we have seen over recent times of regular reductions in membership, and is overall an encouraging statistic. The year was one of significant achievement for New South Wales. There were many new initiatives, and we need to ensure continued development of these activities and to capitalise on their success. There are also some areas that can be improved, and we will endeavour to commence a number of new programs in 12 to achieve this and ensure our long-term success.

10 Northern Territory The staff and directors of Northern Territory, along with our dedicated volunteer workforce, worked cohesively and diligently to ensure that 11 was as successful as possible. With the Arafura Games scheduled for, the planning, coordination and delivery of this major event was the focus of our energies for a significant period of the year. Over 100 volunteers assisted on a daily basis during the meet and their input was greatly appreciated. The level of international entries were high, with 234 swimmers from 33 teams from 19 countries competing over the four days, including the open water meet at Lake Bennett. The support of was most appreciated and the chance to host an International Paralympic Committee Technical Officials course, delivered by Margaret Chamberlain, provided a great opportunity for our technical officials. One of the highlights of the meet at Casuarina Pool was the 100-metre freestyle invitational and the rousing commentary from Joash Barnes. Overall the meet received very positive feedback from swimmers, coaches and administrators. Our NT Open and Age Championships ran smoothly and the increased participation from interstate and overseas teams was a highlight. Top End Storm finished as Champion Club, Ayrton Innes of Palmerston and Rural Club took out Swimmer of the Meet, and Darwin Club won the McDonald s 9 and Under Championships. The Northern Territory Indigenous Pathways program continues to provide opportunities for people in remote communities to engage in swimming and be introduced to the enjoyment and benefits of the sport. The program suffered a blow when Stephen Hollis resigned in December, but in the appointment of Jon Burns to the role we have someone who can carry on and further develop the great work undertaken by his predecessors. With ten communities targeted and over 1200 participants anticipated to benefit from the swim coaching and subsequent carnivals, the program has had a positive impact on the lives of over 6000 indigenous ns since its inception and provides an excellent program model for implementation in other states. The participation rate for swimming in the Northern Territory has been negatively impacted by the lack of suitable facilities, but in April the Alice Springs Aquatic and Leisure Centre opened and is providing the opportunity to swim year round. With night time and early morning temperatures in Alice Springs dropping below zero degrees celsius in the winter months, swimming has only been a 12-month activity for a handful of people. With the opening of the new centre, swimming has the potential to boom in Alice. There appears to be recognition by the NT Government and Darwin City Council that a similar all weather facility in Darwin should be built. Northern Territory is very keen to have input into the design and scope of any facility development and will be looking to for additional guidance and expertise. Queensland Queensland led the way in s dominant performance at the Delhi Commonwealth Games, with every gold medal in able-bodied individual events being won by a current or former Queensland swimmer. The Pan Pacific Championships also showcased Queensland s sparkling talent pool, with our swimmers claiming five of s six gold medals and ten of its 14 silver medals. Queensland swimmers performed strongly at the IPC World Championships in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, winning six medals. At the n Open Championships, Queensland won both the Corbett Shield for the women s competition, and the Keiran Shield for the men s. Mikkayla Sheridan, with eight gold medals, propelled Queensland to its 12th consecutive victory at the n Age Championships, prior to which the Queensland team won seven of the eight State Teams Short Course Championships trophies and every relay event. A team of 17 gold and silver squad swimmers and seven coaches attended a training camp in Beijing before participating in the Chinese National Youth Championships. Another 15 swimmers, also members of the gold and silver squads and supported by three coaches, competed at the New Zealand Short Course Championships in Wellington. Members of Queensland s new Junior Platinum Squad for 12-year-old girls and 13-year-old boys visited the Queensland Academy of Sport, where they were filmed with underwater cameras before having lunch with several current and former champion swimmers. They also spent a weekend at the n Institute of Sport in Canberra. Mentoring was provided to Queensland technical officials at major meets conducted in Queensland, interstate and overseas. A resource DVD Growing up in lycra was produced by Queensland for young female swimmers, their parents and coaches, and distributed to nearly 5000 female members in Queensland aged 11 years and over, and to approximately 3000 ASCTA members around. Participation Fun Days, a new Queensland initiative for children with special needs successfully piloted last year, were held at Townsville, Rockhampton, Cairns, Nambour, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. They attracted 454 children, 137 school teachers and 93 learn to swim teachers. The prestige of the Queensland Hall of Fame was enriched by the induction of Hayley Lewis and Jade Edmistone. Julie McGinley received due recognition of her outstanding contribution to swimming by being awarded the Medal of the Order of in the Queen s Birthday Honours List.

11 South In the report we highlighted the hard work South had done to achieve a new State Aquatic Centre for South. The centre opened in April, and we hosted the n Age Championships, which was a great success. The cooperation among, the South n Government and South achieved a tremendous outcome for the sport. We would like to thank for their continued support and the recognition for bringing major events to our new world-class facility. It has been over 15 years since a national swimming event has been held in Adelaide, and it was pleasing to see the great support from other states and the large number of the general public who attended the event. The past 12 months required South to dedicate a significant amount of staffing resources to having regular and valuable input into the design and construction of this remarkable new facility. To capitalise on this opportunity to grow our sport, we embarked on a strategic review to lead us into the future. Over the last summer we asked our clubs to provide information to assist us to further develop our strategic plan. This information has been used to modernise our strategic pathway and ensure we are delivering services that our clubs want and need. Our 2015 strategic plan will be released in October or November. The Adelaide Aquatic Centre, our former home for over 40 years, began a multimillion dollar upgrade to ensure its long-term viability. The roof is being replaced and the entry, change rooms and gym are being upgraded. Over the next few years the competition, diving/water polo pools, along with the leisure water, will also undergo refurbishment. This will ensure swimming within the CBD of Adelaide will continue to prosper. In the coming months our clubs will see some noticeable changes in the education opportunities and service delivery provided to the grassroots and high performance areas. We understand that we need to continually provide better services to our members and we intend to do this. Our sport is only as good as our grassroots providers, and we need to make sure our clubs are fully equipped to service their members to a high standard. Thank you to all of the club officials and parents who have undertaken technical training over the last year, we are truly appreciative of your efforts. Your ongoing support in this area will still be required, as we need to maintain a qualified technical official base now and into the future. Over the coming year we will be investing heavily in coach development to raise the standard of coaching in our state, and will engage a state mentor coach to assist our clubs to develop to new and exciting levels. Tasmania 11 has seen significant changes within the Tasmania Board. President Michael Lane and Karyn Burgess both relocated interstate, Anne Steele decided not to re-nominate, and Robert Kingsley resigned. Susan Cure was elected President while Scott Curran, Scott Lucas, Glenn Moore and Ronald Brown joined remaining members Glenise Gale and Russell Goonan. We thank Michael, Karyn, Anne and Robert for their contributions. The Board continued to develop policies and support initiatives, with a major focus on marketing. Fairbrother Pty Ltd was secured as the major sponsor of the 13 Tasmanian Age Championships and the Board will continue to explore other marketing opportunities as we enter our 101st year. There was also a change in office staff. In April we said goodbye to Sandra Krueger, our part-time administration officer, leaving Jamie McIntyre and Mary Schiebel to continue providing an outstanding service to both the Board and the swimming community. At the last annual meeting Margaret Neal, Glenise Gale, Chris Wedd and Michael Greatbatch were all awarded life membership of Tasmania. Margaret and Glenise have both been involved in the swimming community for over 50 years, Margaret in the coaching arena and Glenise as a swimmer, administrator and official. Chris was involved as a swimmer, administrator and coach, and Michael s commitment to maintaining our equipment around the state has been beyond comparison. They were all extremely worthy recipients of this award. Development continued to be a priority during the year, with very promising results at the n Championships and Age Championships, and the n Secondary School Games. Congratulations to Shani Burleigh on her selection in the World University Games team. Tasmania would like to acknowledge the support of and the Tasmanian Institute of Sport for their continued support of our development programs. Tasmania continued to provide an excellent service to its stakeholders with club forums and meetings with club presidents in each of the districts continuing to be a focus. We held a very successful officials forum that enabled experienced officials to become re-acquainted with the rules, and a practical session proved very useful for up and coming officials. The commitment and dedication of our officials is acknowledged and it has been particularly pleasing to see an increased number of trainee officials on pool deck this year. Tasmania would like to acknowledge the support of all of its partners, particularly, and we look forward to the continued growth and development of our sport in the coming year. The South Board and the people of South look forward to hosting and the rest of the n swimming community for the 2012 n Championships, which we are sure will be a very successful event. Susan Cure President Jamie McIntyre General Manager Bob Fox Chairman Craig Hobart Executive Director 20 Annual Report

12 Victoria 11 has been a great year and one of change across many areas in Victoria. I would firstly like to acknowledge Kellie Snowdon s contribution to Victoria over the first part of 11 in her role as Chief Executive Officer. One year into our strategic plan for life we completed a number of key outcomes and, more importantly, set the foundations and developing tools to assist us to achieve our key objectives over the remaining two years of the plan. This year the Victoria Board participated in a Vicsport Good Governance program which helped develop a number of key business tools to assist with reporting, monitoring and guiding our business. Victoria had a great year in the pool with a number of outstanding individual and team results: The Board and staff of Victoria and our valued volunteers had a busy year continuing to drive change across many areas of the sport and business of swimming. Whether it be the district review project, improving online support for our clubs, or event delivery, we are aiming to position Victoria as a leader in our field. When we all look back over many of the results of 11, be it in the pool, membership numbers or increased business activity, we can definitely say that Victoria is moving in the right direction and starting to get great results in and out of the pool. Western The last 12 months have been outstanding for the sport of swimming in Western. We have brought on board new sponsors, secured two national events, welcomed a new patron and seen our athletes reach great heights in their sport. As an organisation, we have gone from strength to strength, developing a new strategic plan for 15 and delivering our core values of life, community and performance. Our current position is thanks in large part to our sponsors, both existing and new. In September last year we welcomed on board Toyota WA and the Sunday Times as major sponsors of Western. The teams at Toyota WA and the Sunday Times have been fantastic since joining us, and we look forward to what will no doubt be long and successful partnerships. We also entered into the 20th year of partnership between Western and the Hancock Family Medical Foundation, a fantastic milestone for our organisations. Hancock, along with all of our sponsors, continues to deliver outstanding support to help grow and strengthen our sport. Earlier this year we welcomed Western s Minister for Mining and Petroleum, Fisheries and Forestries and Electoral Affairs, the Honourable Norman Moore MLC, as the new patron of Western. Norman is one of the most well-respected members of the West n Government, and to be able to welcome him as a part of our organisation was a real honour. The strength of our organisation has also been reflected in the performance of our sport over the last 12 months. The individual performances of our swimmers at this year s n Championships secured six berths on the n Swim Team for the World Championships. Western now has an 11 per cent representation on the n team. This is evidence of not only the strength of our swimmers, but the pathways that are in place to develop our athletes from club swimming through to international competition. Geoff Hare OAM President Warwick Waters Chief Executive Officer The Board strategically appointed a performance and development coach on a two-year term, ensuring the engagement of regional, grassroots and performance coaching. Over the last 12 months, Western engaged with stakeholders, officials, coaches and members to deliver a range of programs and initiatives across the state. We worked closely with schools, engaging school swimmers, re-establishing the Schools and Colleges Relays, and creating a new schools swimming pathway. Looking forward, swimming has an exciting year ahead as we move towards the London 2012 Olympic Games. In February 2012, our open water swimmers will have the opportunity to swim in front of a home crowd when we host the 2012 n Open Water Championships. Then in September, Western will host the 2012 n Short Course Championships, the first national event following the Olympic Games. With a strong and committed team and a clear vision and direction, Western has an exciting future ahead and we look forward to engaging the entire swimming community in our ongoing development and success.

In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered. The consolidated group comprises of,, Foundation Trust and Property Trust. As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased). All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. b. Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Grant revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when it is controlled. When there are conditions attached to grant revenue relating to the use of those grants for specific purposes it is recognised in the balance sheet as a liability until such conditions are met or services provided. Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received unless they are designated for a specific purpose, where they are carried forward as prepaid income on the balance sheet. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Income from investments is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) b. Revenue (continued) All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). c. Inventories Inventories consist of various publications, videos and corporate gifts and are measured at the lower of cost and current replacement cost. Inventories acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration are valued at the current replacement cost as at the date of acquisition. d. Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair values less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Property Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm s length transaction), based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to a revaluation reserve in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same classes of assets are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the statement of comprehensive income and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Freehold land and buildings that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost are valued at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired. Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Plant and equipment that have been contributed at no cost, or for nominal cost, are valued at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. 40 Annual Report

22 d. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued) The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Buildings 2.5% Motor Vehicles 33.3% Depreciation Rate Furniture and fittings 4% - 10% Computer and electronic equipment 33.3% Multimedia/Tech equipment 20%-33.3% Software 33.3%-50% The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. e. Operating Leases Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. f. Financial Instruments Initial recognition, classification and subsequent measurement Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE f. NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Financial Instruments (continued) performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial consolidated assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the entity s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantee) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Fair value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Impairment At each reporting date, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. g. Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset s carrying value. Any excess of the asset s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon on the asset s ability to generate net cash inflows and when the consolidated entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an assets class, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong. 42 Annual Report

23 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) h. Employee Benefits Provision is made for the consolidated entity s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance sheet date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from wages, salaries and annual leave which may be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the net present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions are made by the consolidated entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred. i. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. j. Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the n Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. k. Unexpended Grants The consolidated entity receives grant monies to fund projects either for contracted periods of time or for specific projects irrespective of the period of time required to complete those projects. It is the policy of the consolidated entity to treat grants monies as unexpended grants in the balance sheet where the consolidated entity is contractually obliged to provide the services in a subsequent financial period to when the grant is received or in the case of specific project grants where the project has not been completed. l. Contributions receives non-reciprocal contributions from the government and other parties for no or a nominal value. These contributions are recognised at the fair value on the date of acquisition upon which time an asset is taken up in the balance sheet and revenue in the income statement. m. Income Tax No provision for income tax has been raised as the company and consolidated entity are exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act n. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at balance date. o. Comparative Figures Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE NOTE 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) p. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Key estimates Impairment The consolidated entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions and events specific to the consolidated entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Fair value less costs to sell or current replacement cost calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. q. Economic Dependence is dependent on the n Sports Commission, Network TEN and Speedo for the majority of its revenue used to operate the business. At the date of this report the Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the n Sports Commission, Network Ten and Speedo will not continue to support. r. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Foreign currency transactions during the year are converted to n currency at the rates of exchange at the end of the financial year. Assets and liabilities held in foreign currency are converted to n currency at the year-end exchange rate. Gains and losses due to for foreign currency conversion are recognised through the statement of comprehensive income. A change has been made to the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the financial year. Foreign exchange losses are now being included under the foreign exchange reserve in the Statement of Changes in Equity and are now disclosed separately in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with requirements in of AASB 121 Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. s. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The company has decided against early adoption of these standards. 44 Annual Report

Treasury Risk Management Finance and Audit committee consisting of senior committee members meet on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. Financial Risks Exposures and Management The main risks the consolidated entity is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk The consolidated entity's exposure to interest rate risk is limited to interest earned on cash and cash equivalents. Market Risk The consolidated entity owns a portfolio consisting of shares and managed funds. The consolidated entity is exposed to fluctuations in the market price of these financial assets. Foreign currency risk The consolidated entity bears a USD bank account. The consolidated entity is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Liquidity risk The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained.

30 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity. There are no material amounts of collateral held as security at 30 June. Credit risk is managed by the entity and reviewed regularly by the Finance and Audit committee. It arises from exposures to customers as well as through deposits with financial institutions. The consolidated entity monitors the credit risk by actively assessing the rating quality and liquidity of counterparties: Only banks and financial institutions with an A rating are utilised. Only accredited fund managers linked to A rated financial institutions are used. The credit standing of counterparties is reviewed monthly for liquidity and credit risk. The trade receivables balances at 30 June and 30 June do not include any counterparties with external credit ratings. Customers are assessed for credit worthiness using the criteria detailed above. Price risk The consolidated entity is not exposed to any material commodity price risk. b.
