With 84per cent of Aussies living along the coast, swimming is a big part of our unique culture.

The Telstra Swimming Assistance Fund backs our gifted young swimmers to help them achieve their best, and perhaps one day celebrate their success at the swimming night of nights, the Telstra Swimmer of the Year Awards.

All Australian swimming clubs are eligible for assistance through the Fund. Click here to apply on behalf of your club.
